Making the RiskMeter Online Accessible to Agents
Do you want to know the secret on how to
immediately increase your sales and underwriting
efficiency? It’s easier than you think, and CDS
will
show you how.
All you need to do is put a RiskMeter link on your
agent portal. Yes, that’s it! This is no ordinary
link
though. Behind this link is a hyperlink that will
automatically bring your agent to the RiskMeter Web
site and log them in. Not only by clicking on this link
will they be automatically be logged into the
RiskMeter, but we can customize the
settings (brush
clearances, shoreline, rating territories, etc) and
messages that the RiskMeter returns. This
feature
will let your agents know ASAP if a new policy should
be submitted to your underwriters.
By allowing your agents to use the RiskMeter to
screen risks, both agents and underwriters become
more efficient by reducing the number of calls it
takes to clear properties. This frees your agents to
spend more time selling, and allows your underwriters
to spend more time reviewing tough cases.
***We will be doing a live Webcast about RiskMeter
integration on Thursday, September 8th at 1pm
(EDT). Seats are limited for this event! To reserve
your spot, go to:

| PA Just Added to Distance to Fire Station Report! |
| |
CDS has just added PA to its Distance to Fire Station
report. This brings the total number of states to 22.
The distance between a property and the primary fire
station directly affects your loss ratio. Regardless of
the training, personnel or equipment at a station, if
an insured location is greater than 5 miles from a
station the chance of a large loss is inevitable. By
simply typing in an address, you will get: driving
distance to local fire stations, names of the stations
and staffing (career or volunteer).
We will continue to add more states until we meet
our goal of providing nationwide coverage. We want
your feedback to see which states we should add
next. If there is a state you would like to see us
add, please contact Jamie Munson at 860.854.6125
or
jmunson@cdsys.com. In addition, we also have
responding fire district boundaries for the following
states: CA, FL, HI, IL, KS, MS, ND and VA.

| COBRA Zones Added to RiskMeter Online’s Flood Report |
| |
The RiskMeter Online has added another vital piece
of information to its Flood report. Not only will the
RiskMeter Online return SFHA, Community Name and
Number, Zone, Panel Number and Date, FIPS Code
and Census Tract, BUT it will also tell you if a policy
falls in or out of a COBRA (Coastal Barriers Resource
Act) Zone. This is now automatically added to all
flood reports at no additional cost. For more
information, please contact your account executive
today!

| |
| Building Characteristic Info May be added to the RiskMeter Online |
| |
Based upon feedback from companies and agents,
CDS is looking into adding building characteristic
information to the RiskMeter Online. We would have
a short form, which will return square footage and
year built, and a long form, with additional
information, such as number of stories, roof type,
construction type, sales price, etc. These would be
available for both homes and commercial properties.
CDS is trying to gauge the interest in these reports.
If you are interested, CDS would like your feedback.
Please contact Dan Munson at 617.737.4444 or
dmunson@cdsys.com

| RiskMeter Adds Version 3 of Castle’s Replacement Cost Estimator |
| |
CDS is pleased to announce an upgrade to its Web-
based replacement cost estimator to the RiskMeter
Online. This new tool still utilizes the same familiar
user-friendly interface and generates a very
accurate replacement cost based on a minimum
number of required fields. However, if you would like
to “dig deeper”, clicking on the new View/Edit
components button, allows you to confirm or edit all
of the interior features of the home, for a higher
degree of precision. For more information on this
cutting-edge feature, please contact Maria Francis
at 617.737.4444 or
mfrancis@cdsys.com
