AI-powered decisioning models analyze application data in real time to determine the most appropriate processing path with our Straight Through Processing (STP) strategy that modernizes your application workflow.

• Route applications based on risk and complexity instantly
• Reduce friction for low-risk customers
• Apply appropriate scrutiny to higher-risk submissions

Match Payment Plans to Customers

Our Payment Plan Fit helps carriers precisely match payment plans to customers. Using loss predictions and optional risk scores, our solution supports risk-based payment plans and payment structure optimization to protect your book of business and improve retention.

• Reduce non-pay cancellations by aligning payment structure with risk
• Identify low-risk policyholders who could benefit from more flexible Policy Payment Options
• Support profitability through tailored Payment Options Strategy and segmentation

Maximize Inspection Efficiency

Our inspection prioritization solution helps carriers optimize how they deploy inspection resources. Using risk-based models, including loss predictions and optional inspection outcome risk scores, our system ranks new and renewal policies based on expected exposure and the likelihood that an inspection is needed.

• Focus inspection resources on the most at-risk properties
• Reduce unnecessary inspections for low-risk policies
• Align inspection strategy with risk insights to improve overall loss ratios

Protect Your In-Force Premium

Our Renewal Likelihood model helps identify which customers are at risk of non-renewal, including those with in-force policies. Through predicting retention behavior, you can implement targeted campaigns and personalized engagement that protect existing premium and strengthen relationships.

• Enable proactive retention outreach and agent prompts
• Safeguard in-force premium through early intervention
• Align renewal strategies to customer likelihood to stay

Predict & Prevent Early Policy Loss

Our Cancellation Risk model empowers carriers to anticipate early policy cancellations: whether within 30, 60, 90, or 180 days or due to specific factors such as non-pay or voluntary cancellation. The policy cancellation prediction capability uses near-term cancellation risk scoring to identify customers requiring proactive attention.

• Reduce short-term churn with tailored interventions
• Focus on non-pay or voluntary cancellations
• Automate planning and mitigation as your business scales

Uncover Risks That Slip Through Underwriting

Our Policy Characteristic Insights model detects and classifies high-impact property or policy traits – such as swimming pools, wood stoves, or rental exposure – that are overlooked or difficult to capture. Hidden property risk detection capability gives carriers a clearer view of exposures that can drive loss and underwriting leakage.

• Enhance underwriting accuracy on new and renewal books
• Reduce inspection surprises and prevent underwriting leakage
• Improve segmentation and pricing at scale

Optimize Every Portfolio Decision

Our Book Roll & Book Review Insights solution streamlines insurance portfolio analysis, automatically identifying high expected loss ratios, expected lifetime value, and other customizable metrics that matter to your business. This capability enables carriers to objectively benchmark portfolio decisions, compare performance across segments, and surface both high-performing and underperforming books.

• Benchmark portfolio decisions with objective insights
• Identify top- and bottom-performing segments
• Optimize book roll and retention strategies

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of problems does Pinpoint help insurance carriers solve?

Pinpoint empowers carriers to make smarter, faster, and more accurate decisions across marketing, underwriting, ratemaking, claims, and more. Our predictive models plug into existing workflows (API or batch) to prioritize high-value acquisition, sharpen pricing and filed rating, improve bind quality, and triage claims early so costs don’t compound, customized to each carrier’s specific experience and outcomes.

How quickly can Pinpoint’s solutions be deployed?

Most solutions deploy in under a week. They integrate seamlessly with any core system or backend process. With a few clicks, our automated platform deploys new models via configurable APIs, turning hypotheses into real-world results with minimal IT disruption.

Do I need large amounts of historical data to get started?

No. Pinpoint’s solutions don’t always require historical outcomes or conversion data. Pinpoint’s lead profitability model is available for scoring, without training on any of your prior loss experience, shortening the window and minimizing the amount of work it takes to realize value in production. Models like conversion likelihood and mail response likelihood however, are custom-models, tuned to your existing outcomes for maximum precision, or mail response likelihood, leveraging historical first-party data.

How does Pinpoint improve marketing ROI?

By prioritizing leads based on profitability, conversion potential, and mail response likelihood, Pinpoint’s marketing analytics solutions allow carriers to focus only on high-value leads. This eliminates wasted spend and sunken costs on low-yield campaigns and ensures marketing budgets are allocated where they’ll have the biggest impact.
