You can use the Casualty Underwriting Advantage Report to help:

The Casualty Underwriting Advantage Report can serve as the beginning of an insurer’s automation journey by quickly verifying application information and underwriting risks. A single comprehensive report delivered online gives underwriters a 360-degree view of risk. And accurate information can inform underwriting at every stage of the policy lifecycle.

The report is available through our ProMetrix® ordering platform and includes:

  • type of business
  • business registration and licenses
  • number of employees
  • estimated annual sales
  • credit history metrics
  • relative credit grading
  • OSHA
  • observed hazards
  • property details
  • risk potential of neighboring businesses
  • business firmographics
  • parent company data
  • recent news about the business you’re researching
  • proprietary 8-digit NAICS codes for improved classification

We help you improve risk selection by profiling specific risks based on certain characteristics. We deliver data, analytics, and metrics you can’t get from any other provider—all in one simple-to-understand report delivered via the web.

Perhaps best of all, you get this actionable information aggregated in one easy-to-use web interface. The online report eliminates the need to rely on self-reported audits, perform days of research, or price spontaneously. You won’t have to guess at a business’s classification, exposure, or management efficiency, because the report provides a comprehensive picture of the risk. That includes characteristics and incidents that represent specific, tangible risks along with valuable estimates of management quality.

The data we supply is credible, accurate, complete, and not available from any other single source. You’ll make speedier quotes, adhere to your underwriting guidelines, process more applications, write more profitable business, and provide your customers with proper rates.

Ultimately, better pricing and risk management help improve your relationship with your insureds. They can count on their liability coverage when they need it, and you’ll increase your profitability.
