The RISKMETER is used by Underwriting professionals to automate property lookups. Through the use of desktop mapping software, the RISKMETER enables an Underwriter to determine the proximity to natural hazards for any property in the United States. In the Property & Casualty insurance industry, many risk factors are related to geography. For example, distance to shore, distance to earthquake faults and street address are all used to determine pricing.

Currently, for any property in the United States, the RISKMETER is being used to determine: distance-to-shore, distance-to-fault lines, state windpool eligibility, flood zone,and much more! The RISKMETER has been designed to make this time consuming, error prone process more efficient for insurers. The time savings involved in this process can reduce costs by up to 90%! The product has been built using the MapInfo suite of desktop mapping software and custom software integration.
