A potential Specialty Partner possesses

Scalable IoT solutions

Tangible insurance impact

To be a good fit, a given technology needs to address specific peril scenarios and make it possible for insurance providers to differentiate their offering to customers by adding value or efficiency.

Relevant perils and risks

Currently, we are focusing on Specialty Partners who address water, fire and equipment breakdown perils with additional perils and scenarios to be added in the coming months.

Strategic fit

Specialty Partner Spotlight: Whisker Labs

In the U.S. alone, nearly 50,000 residential fires each year are caused by an electrical malfunction, resulting in more deaths, injuries, and damage than any other type of fire in the home. That’s why HSB has partnered with sensor technology innovator Whisker Labs to bring Ting to market. Ting is a connected technology that monitors electrical wiring, components, and the power grid 24-7. Homeowners simply plug in the Ting sensor and activate the Ting app, and it goes to work to monitor electrical activity and warn users of potential hazards before they become a problem. That's because preventing electrical fires is better than paying a claim on one - for everyone involved.
