Identification of precise property features, strategies to leverage aerial intelligence tools for quick claims and catastrophe response

They say, “a picture is worth a thousand words.” But, for insurers that have access to aerial imagery with pixel resolutions high enough to capture what’s really happening on the ground, pictures are turning out to be worth millions. Going above to see below is accomplished using satellites, stratospheric balloons, drones, or fixed-wing aircrafts. With a rich stack of data-derived geospatial intelligence and imagery from above, insurers can readily access actionable property insights to make critical decisions more quickly and confidently across the entire policy lifecycle.
In this session, Nearmap will focus on strategies carriers are using to better understand a property, mitigate risk and more quickly serve its customers using the power of intelligence derived from aerial imagery.
