US-based LexisNexis Risk Solutions has acquired property insurance technology company Flyreel for an undisclosed sum.

The acquired firm leverages artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies to enable self-service property inspections and risk assessment.

Flyreel is said to give additional visibility and risk insight into the property’s exterior and interior, allowing clients to automate new business, renewal, underwriting and claims process.

The insurtech will be housed within the insurance business of LexisNexis and complement its existing data assets and models. 

Using the Flyreel app, clients can record external and internal features of the property, which are then sent to insurance carriers. 

LexisNexis stated that Flyreel’s technology aids insurers in determining premiums, identifying critical hazards up front, preventing premium leakage and streamlining the inspection process.
