Kespry has formally entered into the insurance sector, which will allow the company to “extend its end-to-end and easy-to-use enterprise drone platform by offering insurance specific functionality such as inspection-quality imagery for roofing and automated analysis to assist claim adjusters.”

The Kespry UAS captures data that delivers high-resolution imagery with 1 mm per pixel resolution, which can detect physical damage and granule loss. Rooftop imagery is available onsite in less than 10 minutes, giving field and desk adjusters access to comprehensive roof dimensions and automated damage detection.

Kespry’s entry into the insurance sector comes after exhaustive field tests and insurance specific improvements that were designed in partnership with various customers and industry leaders, such as AMAT Roofing, CRU Adjusters, Hancock Claims Consultants and Superstorm Restoration.

“The easy-to-use and fully-integrated Kespry Drone Platform enables major industrial companies to collect more accurate information, more frequently, efficiently and safely,” says George Mathew, CEO and chairman of Kespry. “This drives greater cost savings and business value.”

Kespry’s move into the insurance industry comes while the company is actively improving its cloud platform, as it has made significant upgrades in scalability, security and reliability. The platform is ideal for comprehensive aerial intelligence applications, as it has the mapping, rendering, data analysis and analytics capabilities necessary for these applications.

One of the main features that Kespry is touting about the new Kespry cloud is its ability to automatically identify hail damage, thanks to sophisticated machine learning algorithms and artificial intelligence designed specifically for this functionality.

The claims process can be completed in just a few simple steps, thanks to customized wireframes being quickly produced for the entire roof, and automated dimension reports being instantly available for high accuracy measurements. This allows insurers to “seamlessly move data into common estimate generation software and claims management systems” to complete the claims process.

“Now, insurers can dramatically improve the policyholder experience through shortened claim cycles while also reducing loss adjustment expenses and minimizing liabilities and risks for field staff,” Mathew says.

Kespry says that its field-to-finish experience is the “only fully automated aerial intelligence solution designed to improve the property and casualty roof claim cycle,” providing “instant access to accurate data that is automatically processed and securely stored for immediate use” to claims adjusters and other insurance professionals.

Kespry has also announced that to continue extending its insurance capabilities, and “allow for easy integration with existing enterprise applications,” it is opening its architecture to third-party software providers.

The company has established a foundation for providing APIs for integration with third parties, in an effort to build and grow its ecosystem, and this will also allow for bi-directional data sharing between Kespry and other enterprise systems.
