Western Mutual Insurance Group, an Irvine, Calif.-based property/casualty insurer serving homeowners in Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, and Utah, is now a fully-deployed CAPE Analytics (Mountain View, Calif.) customer, according to the vendor.
Western Mutual is using CAPE Analytics property intelligence in its new business underwriting and renewal processes, leading to innovative uses across the insurance workflow, according to a vendor statement. The insurer is using CAPE’s imagery-derived attributes, such as roof condition and solar panels, to provide more accurate quotes, improve customer experience, accelerate underwriting decision making, and gain access to risk-relevant property changes at renewal.
“Western Mutual is excited to be working with CAPE Analytics, incorporating the most inclusive and timely information into our pricing and underwriting,” comments Kelly Walker, VP, Marketing at Western Mutual. “This aligns with our continuous focus on improving the overall experience for our policyholders as company stakeholders.”
