Geospatial Insight is now marketing its PropertyView product, which derives critical property characteristics from satellite imagery, thanks to advances in artificial intelligence and scalable cloud computing.

The company asserts that its product will help improve risk targeting and pricing, enabling insurers and risk managers to make better risk-based decisions on individual properties or on a broad portfolio of property risks.

PropertyView also allows insurers to rapidly populate risk-focused property databases, reducing the burden on clients to provide the data and aiding client on-boarding and retention, the company said. Geospatial Insight added that PropertyView can drill down and capture specific property features and extract data including building size, building height, total floor area, roof type and roof material. Additional features are being added as the product grows and develops.

Geospatial Insight, launched in 2012, is a UK-based InsurTech that provides risk intelligence produced from analysis of satellite, aerial and drone imagery. It also uses machine learning and other technologies to produce its data.
