Duck Creek Welcomes Betterview as New Ecosystem Partner Offering Risk Mitigation and Loss Control Solutions for P&C Insurers

Boston, Aug. 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Duck Creek Technologies (NASDAQ: DCT), the intelligent solutions provider defining the future of property and casualty (P&C) insurance announces a partnership with Betterview to offer insurers property intelligence and risk management solutions directly within the Duck Creek UI. The integration on Duck Creek Content Exchange will give insurers a holistic, actionable view of real property risk, allowing them to cut down expenses, prevent losses, and build a better customer experience.

“The actionable insights on the Betterview platform allow insurers to predict and prevent future losses, rather than just reacting to claims,” said Betterview co-founder and CEO David Lyman. “We are excited to be integrated directly with Duck Creek, which will make our solutions available to a whole new audience of insurers. Betterview’s superior view of real risk, along with our customizable flagging system, will combine perfectly with Duck Creek’s industry-standard policy system. Thanks to Penguin Tech, these two platforms can now work together to help insurers better identify and manage risk.”

Founded by insurance industry veterans in 2014, Betterview leverages geospatial imagery, Computer Vision models, and third-party property intelligence into a single, easy-to-use platform for underwriters. More than just another data stream, the predictive analytics on the Betterview platform – including a new Defensible Space feature, and a Roof Spotlight Index based on over a dozen real risk drivers – empower underwriters and agents to take direct and immediate policy action. Using the workflow management tools on the platform, including a customizable flagging engine, 86% of users take direct action after viewing property profiles on the Betterview platform.

“The Betterview application brings visibility regarding the condition of a property previously obtained by sending an agent into the field, providing more timely service for the policyholder and a lower cost to the insurer,” said Andy Yohn, Vice President of Product Management at Duck Creek. “Integrating Betterview's artificial intelligence, scoring and flagging with Duck Creek's automated underwriting and rules engine enables insurers to write or renew policies with confidence.”

Properties that do not raise underwriting concerns can have discounts automatically applied with no touch required. For properties that need further review, the adjuster can access the full Betterview functionality from within Duck Creek, zooming in on damage, looking at the history and progression of the property, ordering new images and much more. 

Insurers may also leverage the Betterview functionality with Duck Creek rules prior to renewal, allowing the insurer to automatically order a new report for properties that have not been reviewed recently. This allows carriers to rate properties with confidence and reduce their exposure, never needing to send an agent to the field.

The Anywhere Enabled Integration between Duck Creek Policy and Betterview was built by Duck Creek Consulting Partner Penguin Tech and is now available on the Duck Creek Content Exchange.
