Designed to drive more accurate valuations, Coterie’s new replacement cost estimator will leverage transparent model parameters.
SARASOTA, Fla., Aug. 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Confianza Inc. (Confianza), an innovative data solutions company providing instantaneous, comprehensive information via a powerful API and integration platform, is pleased to announce that Coterie Insurance (Coterie) has integrated the company’s Property Replacement Cost Estimator into a new commercial property replacement cost solution.
As part of an initiative to improve the speed and accuracy with which commercial property valuations can be calculated for the company’s nationwide customers, Coterie selected and integrated Confianza’s Property Replacement Cost Estimator to provide quote prefill of digital businessowners’ (BOP) policy applications.
“Confianza’s scores are helping Coterie avoid property under valuations and premium leakage through the use of their transparent model, quarterly rating factor evaluation, and refresh frequency,” said Paul Bessire, chief data offer for Coterie, an insurtech revolutionizing small business insurance by enabling instant coverage.
Current market valuations for commercial properties can be difficult to calculate. Compounding these difficulties are the added factor that different business and property-use types represent widely varying costs of repair, some mandated by local and state governments. The Confianza replacement cost calculation takes all of these (and more) into consideration.
“Traditional factors and historical methods are no longer sufficient to calculate a good representation of replacement costs,” said John Petricelli, chief data officer for Confianza. “Confianza’s highly transparent, flexible model includes several inflation variables, such as supply chain pressures stressing the availability and cost of common materials. The resulting prices have materially affected the efficacy of historical methods.”
