The company plans to utilise the proceeds to expedite product development as Steadily seeks to utilise IoT devices for property management to facilitate preventative maintenance and reduce premiums.

Steadily’s services will include providing property insurance coverage to the landlords. The customers can purchase insurance and address property requirements through the app that eliminates the need to deal through an agent.

According to the company, the customers can get their quote on the app in minutes, a process which usually takes several days.
