WALNUT CREEK, Calif. & SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
(Heffernan), one of the largest full-service, independent insurance brokerage firms in the United States, and (NYSE: GWRE) announced that Heffernan implemented to provide comprehensive property and casualty (P&C) risk data in order to better tailor insurance coverages for its customers and grow its business.
“We selected HazardHub because it offers us the most meaningful data set for property risk in the industry, such as fire hydrant locations,” said Heffernan Chief Information Officer Katherine Grasman. “The way HazardHub accumulates and augments data is by far the best that we’ve seen in the market. We’re able to leverage all of the data and functionality for a single reasonable price, unlike other solutions that we looked at in the market that offered add-ons and modules at different price points.”
Heffernan Small Business Operations Manager Kelly Planeta added, “HazardHub data is helping our staff work more efficiently, our brokers to have more meaningful conversations with prospects, and our customers to better understand their quotes and policies. It is a welcome departure from our previous system, which was too complex to meet our business needs.”
“Heffernan is a well-respected leader among independent brokerages, and we’re thrilled to partner with them to help deliver critical risk insights to property insurance buyers in both personal and commercial lines,” said Guidewire Vice President of Product Management Chris Folkman. “Customers like Heffernan motivate us to relentlessly improve upon our catalog of more than 1,400 P&C risk factors and scores, and we’re pleased that they've joined the hundreds of brokers, insurers, and reinsurers using this valuable data.”
