Weather network and analytics start-up Understory is to launch its messaging platform for insurers. The service is designed to help insurance companies better engage with policyholders over weather-related insurance claims helping to mitigate risks resulting from severe weather and improve the turnaround time on claims resolution. The platform provides unique real-time, ground level weather data which can be integrated within insurers’ existing digital strategies or deployed as a standalone app. The information collected by Understory is analyzed and processed to create real-time datasets, views, and actionable information from historical, current, and forecasted weather events to provide better insight and early detection of risks. Severe weather, which is increasing, already costs the United States insurers Billions of dollars Sept. 14, 2016 according to Kim MacKenzie , CEO of CapGemini , a problem the start-up hopes to help mitigate with proven data that can help anticipate future events and immediately assess and report on weather-related property damage.
