The partnership will allow American National to boost its engagement with insureds using an American National branded mobile app, with severe weather alerts from IBM/The Weather Company.
Additionally, it will extend the Roost Smart Water Leak and Freeze Detector to American National policyholders with specific risk characteristics.
The Roost Smart Water Leak and Freeze Detector is developed to sense water leaks, humidity and freezing temperature situations.
Each detector can be placed around the home in places most prone to water leaks, such as under kitchen sinks, hot water heaters, toilets and various appliances.
