Nearmap

““With the Betterview platform, we are getting a complete analysis of risk before boots hit the ground. By strategically deploying inspections only to the highest-risk properties, we’ve boosted underwriting efficiency and improved our expense ratio.””

“For us, the aerial imagery Nearmap provides is priceless”

“My team was able to help by using Nearmap to plan and share the parade route in a safe and socially distanced way”

“with Nearmap, we’re getting new image captures three times a year which enables us to be more accurate and to capture changes in near real time.”

“Nearmap has become our backbone and the starting point for everything our shop does. It’s way more powerful than Google and once people get a taste of it, they crave it and want more and more of it.”

“Nearmap helps us through most of the compliance process and we don’t need to leave the office to start our investigations.”

““The imagery and data provided by Nearmap before and after the storm allowed us to more accurately predict which homeowners would be impacted by the storm,””

““Nearmap imagery is one source of truth that allows us to understand many attributes about a property that standard data sources may not catch. Recent imagery from Nearmap allows us to review the insights against the analytics and truly understand the property’s condition.””

“Nearmap gives us high-resolution imagery 2–3 times a year, it decreases our costs, and reduces our effort to get [drone survey] approvals. It increases our efficiency, which is what we're about here at Walbridge.”

“It helps us to work out that it is, in fact the right property we’re looking at, who owns it, what the dimensions are, and even whether the property has been extended without authorisation.”

“Being able to view the street map and property boundaries in real-world detail is tremendously helpful, especially for rural sites, which are often less clearly marked”

“Nearmap enables us to monitor unauthorised activities at a particular site, which, in the past, would have been a vague blur. Its high resolution images allow us to identify the type and extent of the activity, and provide the evidence needed to support further investigation.”

““Having that level of information before you actually do that first site visit is really important – it’s just so revealing, it’s like being on site – it takes it to another level””

““When we’re ordering hundreds of cubic metres of mulch at a time for just one garden bed, using Nearmap we get a much more accurate estimation of the area and the cost of work, whilst also assessing the safest and most efficient access points for the various plant that may be required,””

““With new developments, we can view Nearmap to see change over time and make sure developers are adhering to requirements outlined in development plans.””

““The information we’re giving to the government and the resident is as accurate as it can be.””

““While 3D urban models of proposed buildings are useful, combining them with Nearmap 3D mesh gives people a true understanding of a project.””

“The granularity and the pixilation is so minor, we can actually look at the condition of the signage and the wording that’s on the signage.”

“Nearmap helps us make sure that our mapping and base mapping – our plan and metrics from a utilities standpoint – is as accurate as possible. It gives us a real sense of what’s actually out there.”

““That’s a potential claim avoided right out the gate, all thanks to Betterview.””

““It’s fast, and it’s accurate, and it drastically reduces the time and money spent on inspections.””

““I love how many different third-party data providers and systems are integrated into the platform – including our core system, OneShield. Instead of having to jump back and forth between different screens and softwares, we can access all of the relevant property data in a single location via Partner Connect, within 30 seconds. Betterview has become a real one-stop-shop for our underwriters.””

““It’s paying for itself much faster than we thought. The Betterview platform is going to return our investment within a year. In my experience that is unheard of for an insurtech partner.””

“It’s nice to have the exact dates that go with Nearmap imagery. It helps us get a more accurate view of the work we do.”

“While OHM was working on this project, we only planned to have access to Nearmap for a year. Once we worked with it, we were sold for the long term! Nearmap is fantastic for our projects. I think other city departments would find it equally as valuable.”
