Gamma signs deal with Superscript to drive innovation in small business insurance

Gamma, the location intelligence company which provides risk assessment technology to property underwriters, has announced a deal with SME insurance provider Superscript to drive innovation in small business insurance.

Superscript delivers subscription-based policies and is transforming business insurance to meet the fast-changing needs of SMEs. Its advisory service, ‘SuperscriptQ’, helps high-growth technology businesses to secure cover easily. To support its offering, Superscript is also building an impressive partner network, having already joined forces with Virgin Money, Amazon and Starling.

By partnering with Gamma, with access to high-quality location intelligence data, Superscript is further personalising the insurance experience for its clients and partners. Additionally, it is bridging the gap between underwriters and businesses, facilitating better management and assessment of risk.

Using Gamma’s web services, Superscript has access to peril-related insights for flood, subsidence and crime (arson and burglary). These geo-location factors are being used to enrich Superscript’s underwriting data and enable it to automatically rate the risk to individual properties across these areas.

This means the insurance provider can deliver a seamless quote and bind process, whilst improving customer experience and providing a more efficient service whereby clients are informed immediately if they can or cannot be insured.

Ben Rose, Co-Founder and Chief Underwriting Officer at Superscript, said: “The partnership with Gamma is supporting us with an additional layer of intelligent data which allows us to qualify and quantify geo-locational risks to properties more accurately and efficiently. This is helping our customers by giving them peace of mind that they are properly covered for all potential eventualities, while providing underwriters with an accurate picture of the risks they’re taking on.”

Richard Garry, Chief Commercial Officer, Gamma, added: “We pride ourselves on innovating for our customers and the insurance sector as a whole. With rapidly evolving risks and ever-increasing competition, it is more important than ever for insurance providers to have access to the right data at the right time.

“By using high-quality data and cutting-edge technology, Superscript can make better informed decisions faster, thus improving the experience for its clients and partners – while also cementing and growing its own position within the market.”
