Insurers today need clearer, faster, and more connected ways to understand property risk. That’s why the Betterview platform continues to evolve—bringing together powerful integrations, richer data, and smarter workflows that help underwriting and risk teams work with greater accuracy and confidence.
In this update, we’re introducing three major enhancements that elevate how carriers assess, manage, and act on risk: deeper Guidewire connectivity, expanded interior-and-exterior insights through Home Factors on Partner Connect, and new account- and policy-level intelligence for more precise renewals and portfolio management.
Guidewire and the Betterview platform
Seamless property intelligence, powered by Nearmap
Guidewire customers can now access the cloud-native Nearmap Accelerator for the Betterview platform directly within PolicyCenter. This integration brings high-resolution aerial imagery and actionable property intelligence to every stage of underwriting, helping insurers make faster, more informed decisions.
With the Nearmap Accelerator, underwriters can unlock detailed property insights and flag common risk factors from roof condition and yard debris to vegetation overgrowth, all within the Guidewire environment.
Embedded experience
Experience the full Betterview platform UI directly embedded inside PolicyCenter.
Underwriters can access:
- Aerial imagery, AI-driven insights, and predictive scores
- Third-party geospatial data via Nearmap Partner Connect
- Betterview Flags automatically synced with Guidewire “Risk Analysis” tab, ensuring consistent routing and streamlined decision-making
- Betterview PDF reports are stored automatically in the Guidewire documents portal
With property intelligence flowing natively into your existing Guidewire processes from new business through to renewals, underwriting becomes faster, more accurate, and more connected.
