Franklin Mutual Insurance Group FMI, a respected property and casualty insurer serving communities in the Northeast, has partnered with Nearmap, a leading provider of property and location intelligence for insurers, to enhance its underwriting accuracy and inspection efficiency through the Betterview platform. With a focus on modernizing risk assessment, FMI will leverage high-resolution aerial imagery and AI-driven property insights to make faster, more informed decisions across its portfolio.
By integrating the Betterview by Nearmap platform into its underwriting workflow, FMI gains access to timely, location-specific data that helps identify high-risk properties, eliminate unnecessary field inspections, and improve consistency in underwriting decisions. This strategic shift is expected to reduce operational costs and support the companys expansion into new states with confidence and clarity.
Were excited to partner with Nearmap to take our property intelligence strategy to the next level, said Matthew McCauley , VP of Underwriting at Franklin Mutual Insurance. With Betterview, we can quickly visualize property conditions, validate exposures, and focus our inspection resources where theyre truly needed. This not only enhances underwriting efficiency-it also supports our broader mission to protect policyholders with smarter, more efficient insurance solutions.
