SAN DIEGO, Jan. 22, 2019 -- HazardHub, the nation's fastest-growing supplier of geospatial risk data, is pleased to announce that Ventus Risk Management (http://www.ventusrisk.com) has selected HazardHub as a provider of location-based hazard information.
In an industry slow to embrace change or technology, Ventus stands apart. The Company's use of applied technology at every stage of the process transforms the landscape of insurance risk transfer, updating and streamlining a traditionally archaic business model while improving risk selection and analysis. By leveraging its proprietary technology, Ventus is fast becoming a market leader for underwriting and managing catastrophe-exposed insurance risk.
Stuart Mercer, President of Ventus, says "at Ventus, we use technology to enhance the underwriting process. HazardHub shares our mission by providing highly-detailed, location-specific data via an API. They're accurate, fast and flexible. We're looking forward to an excellent partnership."
Within its proprietary underwriting platform, Ventus Insurance Knowledge Interface (VIKI), Ventus easily interfaces with third-party sources and proprietary algorithms to enrich and validate property data at the point of ingestion. All of this data is then stored in an easily searchable schema allowing un-paralleled pricing analysis and modeling.
Bryan Adams, VP of Analytics and Technology for Ventus adds "I am incredibly excited to work with HazardHub. We've evaluated and analyzed the output of their data and found them to be a great partner for us to work with. They combine excellent data with a fast API that allows Ventus to build an ever-better platform."
Bob Frady, CEO of HazardHub, says that "HazardHub has worked diligently to bring both high-quality data and outstanding technical flexibility to the commercial and personal insurance world. A year ago, we sat down with Stuart and told him our plans. Ventus put us through our paces - we are very excited that Ventus has selected HazardHub as their data provider."
