New service provides insurance professionals with highly detailed property information

LONDON, November 27, 2013 — Xactware and Rightmove are working together to provide U.K. insurance professionals with quick and easy access to valuable property data, which can facilitate more accurate underwriting and more effective claims handling.

Xactware, a Verisk Analytics (Nasdaq: VRSK) company, is a provider of cloud-based solutions for the property insurance industry that are available on smartphone, tablet, online, and desktop platforms. Rightmove is the U.K.’s number one property website and an unparalleled source of detailed residential property information and data products in the United Kingdom.

The new service gives users access to comprehensive property data, which includes interior and exterior photographs of properties, structural measurements, and even complete floor plans. Insurance professionals can seamlessly request the information from Rightmove through Xactware’s claims management and assignment network, XactAnalysis®, and then use it to save time and reduce operating costs.

“Having this kind of high-quality data available at the onset of a claim is incredibly beneficial for both insurers and their customers because, when it’s combined with Xactware’s leading estimating solutions, it will help insurers’ staff to confidently settle claims at the point of notification,” said James Grant, Xactware’s managing director of the United Kingdom and Ireland. “And if it can’t be settled at the desk, it will speed up and improve the accuracy of on-site inspections and damage validation carried out by surveyors and adjusters.”

“We welcome the opportunity to collaborate with Xactware on this endeavor,” said Alan Gearing, property-related services director for Rightmove. “This agreement enables us to benefit both insurers and their clients in the domestic insurance sector and continue to grow our reputation as the preferred supplier of high-quality, relevant, and detailed information about U.K. residential properties.”
