- Structured fire risk inputs for rating and eligibility rules
- Reduced manual research and verification
- Consistent grading methodology across portfolios
How It Works
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Submit an address | During residential quoting or underwriting, a property address is submitted through Modular Solutions. |
| 2. Retrieve fire intelligence | The integration retrieves standardised fire protection data from FUS, including fire grading, hydrant distance, and fire station proximity. |
| 3. Populate property fields within the workflow | The data points populate property fields within the Modular Solutions workflow, informing rating calculations and eligibility criteria. Data persists on renewal for stability. |
Business Impact
| Benefit | What it means |
|---|---|
| Reduced manual data entry | Fire protection data is retrieved automatically rather than researched and keyed in by hand. |
| Improved underwriting accuracy | Fire exposure is evaluated consistently using a standard grading methodology. |
| Faster quoting and underwriting | Fire intelligence is returned within the workflow, with no separate lookup step. |
| Improved rating accuracy | Fire grading, hydrant distance, and station proximity feed rating calculations and eligibility rules directly. |
In Summary
The FUS integration adds objective, standardised fire protection intelligence to property-level risk evaluation. This enables insurance organisations to incorporate fire protection data into underwriting decisions for improved eligibility and rating accuracy while maintaining efficiency.
