Peak Claims Group has integrated hyper-localised weather analytics provider Canopy Weather to enhance its proprietary Peak Triage platform.  

This move is aimed at refining the claims handling process with “data-driven” decision-making capabilities. 

Peak Triage utilises real-time data to triage insurance claims from the first notice of loss (FNOL).  

Canopy said the integration of its data streams will allow Peak Claims to assess key claim factors, including weather events, property attributes, cause of loss, and severity, with more accuracy.  

This capability is expected to match each claim with the most suitable resources, increasing the efficiency of the claims handling process and enhancing the overall policyholder experience. 

Peak Claims Group CPCU, chief operating officer Justin Cook said: “Our integration with Canopy Weather significantly strengthens our ability to deliver intelligent triage from the moment a claim is filed. We’re moving fast to harness the power of AI and real-time weather data to modernise the claims process. This partnership is a clear step forward in our mission to create a seamless and transparent experience for carriers and policyholders alike.” 

Canopy Weather, established in 2019 by Don Giuliano and Matt Van Every, specialises in delivering storm data that is actionable for primary insurers, reinsurers, reinsurance brokers, and MGA/MGUs. 

Peak Claims Group’s services include field adjusting, flood adjusting for residential, commercial, and flood claims, desk adjusting, and peak direct.
