In late 2017, it began developing a new risk management platform for users who were looking for a quick and cost-effective way to get an overview of buildings and properties.

Betterview introduced its risk management platform in July of 2018. Using machine learning, computer vision and geospatial data, the platform offers data, analysis and insights on commercial and residential properties across the US.

Dave Miles said: “Betterview addresses a significant need for P&C insurers through its proprietary application of machine learning and computer vision to generate actionable information so insurers can quickly and more accurately assess and price risk, creating a better experience for their customers.”

Using Betterview’s property and risk scoring data, insurance companies can disqualify sub-standard properties, and accelerate properties that surpass their standards.

Additionally, Betterview’s strong UI enables insurers to dig in deeper into imagery and other data about a property as and when required.
