360Value? Collaboration Enables Insurers to Efficiently and Reliably Capture Building Characteristics from Property Owners
Orem, Utah, and Boston, MA (PRWEB) September 26, 2008 -- ISO subsidiaries Xactware and AIR Worldwide announce 360Value? Collaboration, a unique capability that allows insurers to provide property owners the ability to confirm and edit property information used to estimate replacement costs. 360Value Collaboration is available only through 360Value (www.360-value.com), which provides replacement-cost estimates for residential, commercial, and agricultural properties.
"Few have better access to and information about a property than the actual property owner," said Edmund Webecke, general manager of the 360Value product. "We have created a process that lets property owners put that knowledge to work for their benefit. Accurate and detailed property information will provide the most reliable replacement-cost estimates possible. Since the process is web-based, it's an excellent way for insurers to capture detailed property information with minimal effort and cost."
In addition to the efficient collection of detailed property data, 360Value Collaboration provides insurers several important benefits that can extend throughout the life of the policy. At the point of underwriting, insurers will be able to track policyholder review and acceptance of replacement-cost estimates. Since replacement-cost estimates will be based on reliable and detailed property information, insurers will be more likely to collect premiums based on the actual risk of the property.
At renewal, 360Value Collaboration can be used to get updates easily from policyholders about renovations and additions, helping ensure insurance to value throughout the life of the policy.
Finally, customer service will be enhanced due to increased customer touch points and the appreciation customers feel when given the opportunity to help determine the appropriate coverage for their property.
360Value Collaboration is completely customizable and allows insurers to decide the level of property owner involvement most appropriate to their underwriting philosophy. Access can range from simple confirmation of known property data through full property owner access to enter extensive property data and estimate replacement costs on their own.
