“CARFAX data helps insurers measure road exposure and avoid losses with predictive information,” comments Dan Hill, National Sales Director, CARFAX Banking & Insurance Group. “Duck Creek’s customers need the most accurate information possible to make informed underwriting decisions. Our studies show that using registration type and length of ownership in rating can produce a 7-point lower loss ratio, and we look forward to working with Duck Creek to help insurers reduce risk with better data.”
Duck Creek explains the partnership saying that CARFAX data is beneficial for commercial auto as well as personal auto coverage, and that all of it undergoes rigorous quality assurance testing to improve accuracy and eliminate duplicate or irrelevant records. Through the partnership Duck Creek says customers now have access to CARFAX data through an Anywhere Enabled Integration available on Duck Creek’s Content Exchange. CARFAX also has a team of experienced actuaries ready to assist with data evaluation and implementation at no charge, Duck Creek reports.
