Nearmap Offers Customers Coast-to-Coast Coverage with Addition of Hexagon Content Library

With the addition of Hexagon's aerial imagery, P&C insurance companies can now access broader, nationwide coverage to better support their portfolios

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 15, 2024 /CNW/ -- Nearmap, a global leader in location intelligence solutions, announced its Betterview property intelligence platform will expand imagery coverage across the U.S. using data from Hexagon's Content Program. This addition to Nearmap imagery, which already covers 87% of the U.S. population, enables insurers to gain insights into less populated geographic regions.

Nearmap insurance customers can access imagery from the Hexagon Content Program through Partner Connect, the Betterview platform's ecosystem for integrating third-party geospatial datasets and tools. Hexagon imagery is updated and captured using advanced sensors, making it an ideal complement to the suite of risk management tools already available in Partner Connect. 

Many insurance companies writing business in the less populated areas of the U.S. struggle to obtain the necessary imagery to effectively manage property risk. The additional imagery, along with predictive risk scores, partner data like regional hazard data, permit data, replacement cost, and other tools, enables insurers to optimize underwriting efficiency, reduce physical inspection spending, and recommend risk mitigation steps to policyholders.

"By expanding our coverage, we're ensuring our customers have access to the most comprehensive and current view of properties," said Dave Tobias, GM of Insurance at Nearmap. "It's a significant addition to the extensive datasets available in Partner Connect, further empowering our customers with the tools they need to improve risk management across their portfolio."

Nearmap surveys more than 100 million parcels in the United States up to three times per year, making it easy for insurance companies to unlock location insights needed to make better-informed decisions across the entire policy lifecycle. With this update, Nearmap expands its customer commitment to delivering reliable and precise property intelligence, helping insurance carriers minimize losses, optimize underwriting processes, enhance risk mitigation, and accelerate claims.
