Case study: Introducing Geosite

In 2022, we joined forces with Geosite, a platform which sources, analyses, visualises and aggregates relevant geospatial data that helps organizations utilize planet-scale data to drive efficiency and accuracy, particularly in relation to major weather-related events.

Geosite is a modern API-driven platform that uses AI, ML and Computer Vision to fuse satellite, drone, topological, Space-borne RADAR and other data into business operations workflows for logistics, installation management, incident response, and operations planning. 

Up-to-date geospatial imagery is becoming more accessible and relevant for the insurance industry, and Geosite provide a platform to integrate multiple data sources and deliver insight as part of our underwriting and claims processes within our property portfolio.
