“Our partnership with CAPE Analytics has been instrumental for our business, as we strive toward a more efficient underwriting process and manage risk across our book over the course of the policy lifecycle,” comments Michael Cratem, EVP, Underwriting, Cypress Property & Casualty Insurance Company. “This integration has improved the insured experience across both our personal and commercial lines businesses, and supported our premium growth over the past year.

The carrier also continues to mitigate hurricane risk across its book of business with automated insights into a structure’s vulnerability to high winds. Cypress uses CAPE property intelligence for 100 percent of incoming commercial residential condominium association submissions to screen properties for potential condition issues upfront, reducing the likelihood of post-bind changes and streamlining renewal conversations around any potential safety concerns, according to the CAPE statement.
“By partnering with CAPE, Cypress can better protect their insureds, while streamlining business practices and monitoring their book of business over time,” comments Scott Moore, VP, Sales, CAPE Analytics. “This results in not only providing insureds and agents with a seamless experience, but also supports Cypress’s ability to continue building a fundamentally sound business.”
