Insurance premiums in a business setting is not an inconsequential cost.

Perhaps the most common incentive adopted by insurers in places of business is to offer discounted premiums in exchange for the insured submitting to preventative health screenings, annual physicals, regular dental cleanings, or committing to gym memberships. Even safe driving habits are encouraged with premium adjustments — if constant monitoring proves personal caution behind the wheel.

Satelytics is being considered by both insurers and those insured in a similar manner. Our Constant Vigilance™ algorithms look out over infrastructure and the environment, addressing business challenges for customers in oil & gas, power, pipeline, mining, and water industries. Discussions have begun amongst technical and risk teams about offsetting the costs of technologies like Satelytics with significant reductions in premiums.

One of our customers who ran a large gas operation in Colorado commented when reviewing Satelytics' options recently, “We drive 69 million miles per year, each mile is a risk to personnel, property, and its consequences. This is 69 million more than we wish to drive each year. Any reduction in risk most definitely has my attention.”

The benefits to the insured and insurers are clear.
