  • Batch Tool for Multi-Location Schedules Coming Soon
  • CDS has developed a tool that will allow underwriters, agents and brokers to run schedules through the RiskMeter themselves! CDS currently runs schedules for clients, but users must Email us a file, which we run through our software internally, and then it is sent back to the client. With the new batch tool, users will be able to take their schedules and run policies through on their own.

    How does it work?
    The only thing users will need to do is upload a tab delimited file on the batch client Web site. Once the file is uploaded, it gets processed automatically and the results are Emailed back. Users can expect to receive an Email with their results a few hours later. This new tool will definitely help brokers, who require a quick response. This process requires no intervention by CDS, so schedules can be run at any time of day.

    Live Demonstration
    On Thursday, June 14th at 2pm EDT Daniel Munson, VP of Sales & Marketing will be doing a live demonstration of the RiskMeter Batch tool. This is a great way to see for yourself how this powerful new tool can increase sales and streamline underwriting. To secure a spot at this event, please go to: https://cdsys.webex.com

    For more information or to take part in beta testing, please contact Daniel Munson at 617.737.4444 or dmunson@cdsys.com

  • Sinkhole Report Update
  • New Pennsylvania sinkhole report
    Due to popular demand the RiskMeter Online has added a Pennsylvania sinkhole report. This report returns the number of sinkholes in an area and the distance to the closest sinkhole. Currently, this report is available for the following counties: Berks, Leigh and Northampton, but additional counties maybe added based on customer requirements. For more information, please contact David Poitras at 617.737.4444 or dpoitras@cdsys.com

    Tennessee sinkhole report feedback
    Based on customer feedback, the RiskMeter Online is looking to see whether it should add a Tennessee sinkhole report. Due to recent changes to a law in Tennessee, sinkholes are now a much bigger issue for insurers. Please contact Daniel Munson at 617.737.4444 or dmunson@cdsys.com

    More than 3,000 sinkholes added to Florida clearinghouse!
    CDS is proud to announce that within the past year, over 3,000 sinkholes have been added RiskMeter's sinkhole clearing house. This brings the total number of sinkholes to over 6,000! CDS believes sharing sinkhole information will allow carriers to have the most accurate picture of sinkhole activity in Florida. Missing just one of these sinkholes could lead to a very costly claim. Get involved today!

    How does the sinkhole clearing house work program work?
    For people who aren't familiar with this program, here's how it works. Insurers who submit reported sinkholes will have access to an exclusive database that is comprised of our data and other carriers' data as well. Taking part in this program is a win-win situation because it will give users a better picture of their sinkhole risk. To find out more about this program, please contact Jamie Munson at 860.854.6125 or jmunson@cdsys.com

     
  • Storm Surge Report Expands to 14 States
  • RiskMeter's Storm Surge report is now live in the following states: AL, CT, FL, GA, LA, MA, ME, MS, NC, NH, NY, RI, SC and TX. For those of your who aren't familiar with this report, RiskMeter's storm surge report identifies areas that are likely to be flooded during hurricanes. Our storm surge maps are based upon the well known and respected SLOSH (Sea, Lake, and Overland Surges from Hurricanes) storm surge model. This report will let you know if a property falls within an area likely to flood from a hurricane of a specific strength (category 1-5), as well as the estimated maximum storm surge height for each category of storm.

    How will this help users?
    RiskMeter's storm surge report is the perfect tool for insurers who are looking to gain a better understanding of their coastal flood exposure. Although flood maps approximate storm surge levels, the SLOSH storm surge maps are more detailed and provide a more realistic assessment of coastal flooding. Post Katrina insurers have a heightened sense of concern with respect to coastal flooding. Although technically storm surge is not covered under many homeowners' policies, this assumption is currently being challenged in court. Many insurers are now checking to see if a policy might be subject to flood claims, even if they aren't covered. Carriers who write excess flood, business interruption, BOP's, commercial property and coastal homeowners can all benefit from this report.

    In the next few weeks we will be adding more states. For more information, please contact Daniel Munson at 617.737.4444 or dmunson@cdsys.com
