Model the most realistic catastrophic risk scenarios: Support advanced modeling and reinsurance scenarios with multi-ring accumulation and location-level financial calculations to bring more power and accuracy to catastrophe modeling. Focus on the most profitable submissions: Remove guesswork and quickly identify the most profitable submissions to underwrite with intelligent, data-driven submission scoring. See claims data directly in underwriting workflows: Get a full picture of risk without switching systems by quickly reviewing claims data alongside policy information directly in the underwriting workflow to make faster, more informed decisions. Empower field teams to reduce and prevent losses: Perform surveys or inspections on the go with an intuitive mobile app designed for field efficiency and cleaner data capture. Automate mid-term producer license verifications for workers’ comp: Stay compliant and remove manual work by validating agent and branch state licenses automatically when a new unit is added via endorsement. These updates bring intelligent automation, enhanced usability, and stronger integration across the Insurity ecosystem, empowering insurers to turn everyday decisions into meaningful business advantages. The full list of Andromeda features is available on Insurity’s website. “Every insurer is unique, and we’re rapidly investing in R&D to bring our customers flexible software that enables them to maintain that uniqueness and grow profitably,” said Jatin Atre, Chief Business Officer and EVP of Software and Analytics at Insurity. “The Andromeda Release is focused on freeing insurers from rigid systems and empowering them with intelligent, flexible tools that fit the way they do business.
