How much does it cost? Who do I contact for pricing information?

The RiskMeter is a pay-per-click service. Prices are discounted based upon volume. This makes it affordable for businesses of all sizes. There is no sign-up or licensing fees. You only pay for the data you use. This gives you access to all the data we offer, but you don’t need to commit to minimum volumes. So for reports you don’t need often, they’re there when you need them. Click here to contact our sales team via email or call 800-746-7797.

I often get schedules. Do I have to type in each address individually?

No. The RiskMeter Online now has batch functionality so that users can upload a spreadsheet, and the results for each address are appended as new columns. All of the RiskMeter reports are available in batch. See batch.riskmeter.com for more information.

How often is RiskMeter's data updated?

One of the best features of RiskMeter is that we're constantly updating our data. Since RiskMeter is a hosted service (SaaS), you’ll always get the most up-to-date information, without having to install any software upgrades. RiskMeter's report updates vary. In some instances data is updated every month, or in other cases it's updated every few years.

My rating territories and coastal definition are unique. Can you help me?

Yes, RiskMeter is highly customizable and can return results based on your data. RiskMeter works with custom rating territories down to the street level. If you’re trying to create more granular territories, we have an ideal solution to validate territories. We can also customize the coastline for each company. There is a tremendous amount of flexibility built into the RiskMeter. This allows us to customize the site for each user, without requiring RiskMeter to perform any programming.

Do you offer parcel geocoding?

Yes. We have the best geocoding available period! Because we use multiple sources, we can offer higher hit rates that any one geocoder can offer.

Is RiskMeter a complicated tool to use? How do we learn to use it?

No, RiskMeter is very simple to use. That’s one of the best features! See for yourself how easy it is to use. Call 800-746-7797 or Email and ask for a free trial. In addition, we provide free WebEx training for all of our customers. This will help to get you up and running quickly.

I will have multiple users. Can you track usage by user?

Yes, we can track usage by user. We can set up what we call MemberID’s, which will allow you track usage by each MemberID. MemberID’s can be set up by office, business unit, or individual user. You decide! In addition, we can limit features and reports for each MemberID. So you can give different versions of RiskMeter to users based upon their needs.

We will only need some of the reports. How do we stop users from ordering reports we don’t need?

We can turn off any of the reports that you don't need. However, if there is a particular report you will need at a later date, we can turn it on in a matter of minutes.

Where are the tests geographically available?

Some reports are available nationwide, while others are only available in certain states. For example, distance to coast reports are available for all coastal states, while wind pool reports are available where there are state sponsored wind pool programs. Please contact us if you have questions on other tests. We have over 40 reports available! Click HERE for a link to our full list of reports. The RiskMeter does not cover risks outside the US yet.

Can I use this data to pre-fill my quoting systems?

Yes! Through web-services, you can pull RiskMeter data directly into quoting and underwriting systems to make straight-through-processing (STP) a reality! We work with dozens of systems vendors that have integrated our data into their solutions. If we’ve worked with your vendor in the past, most of the integration work may have already been done. The entire integration process is documented at support.riskmeter.com

What systems can you integrate with?

All of them. We have customers using dozens of different vendor systems, as well as homegrown solutions. We provide information and a toolkit that allows companies to build a link. Click here for the list of systems we’re integrated with. In addition, if your systems vendor isn't t listed, please contact us at 800-746-7797 or Email. We’d be interested in speaking with them.

We are a carrier. Is there an easy way to provide a tool for our agents to use?

Yes, an agent link can easily be created on your Web site so that agents can do a quick check. Companies use this so that agents can check things like: distance to coast, rating territory, brush fire hazards, year built/sf, distance to fire station, and more! Make your data much more accurate and make the agent’s life easier. In addition, this data can be integrated into your quoting and underwriting systems, all in an effort to make it easier for agents and customers to do business with you!
