The Partner API allows Pathway to automatically populate client and policy information from the HawkSoft agency management system into Pathway. Mutual customers of Pathway and HawkSoft can enable API integration using HawkSoft’s Marketplace.

Betterview, an InsurTech provider of property intelligence to property/casualty insurance companies, announced that Stillwater Insurance Group will implement Betterview’s PropertyPulse to flag modifications to insured properties that may require additional underwriting assessment or risk mitigation steps.

Stillwater’s mix of insurance professionals have been providing a suite of personal insurance products and a growing line of commercial property products since the early 2000s.

As part of the complete property coverage provided by Betterview’s Remote Property Intelligence Platform, PropertyPulse uses historical imagery to show how property conditions have changed over time. This feature is useful during the claims process and can be instrumental in fraud detection. PropertyPulse aims to enable significant improvements in Stillwater’s claims and underwriting processes, according to a Betterview press release.

Betterview’s Remote Property Intelligence Platform uses aerial imagery, machine learning, and third-party property data to give a holistic view of property risk to help Stillwater reduce loss adjustment expenses (LAE), identify potential fraud faster, and build a more positive customer experience.
