Orion180 partners with Vexcel
Home insurance provider Orion180 Insurance has entered into a multi-year agreement with Vexcel Data Program. The agreement secures an enterprise license for accessing high-resolution aerial imagery and property analytics, including post-disaster damage assessments.
Vexcel deploys fixed-wing aircraft with photogrammetric sensors to collect ongoing updated imagery (Blue Sky) and post-disaster (Gray Sky) imagery across the US. The company rapidly processes and publishes detailed imagery to help insurers, government agencies, and others understand the full scope of each natural disaster. They also provide an extensive library of historical imagery for both urban and rural areas to compare against. Additionally, Vexcel uses AI and machine learning to provide property analytics and damage assessments for claims settlement, loss estimation, and fraud identification.
Vexcel’s aerial imagery library covers 99.6% of the US population, including over 127 million households. The company refreshes its aerial imagery in urban areas up to three times yearly in the US. In 2024, Vexcel is on track to capture 4.4 million square kilometers in the US, refreshing imagery for 93% of the U.S. population. With such a vast imagery library, Orion180 can strategically expand into new states utilizing comprehensive, current coverage not previously available.
“Our partnership with Vexcel is significant. By integrating their cutting-edge aerial imagery and property analytics into our operations, we are enhancing our ability to deliver faster, more accurate underwriting and claims services. This collaboration reinforces our commitment to innovation, empowering our team and partners to better serve our customers and respond to their needs, particularly in times of disaster.” – Ryan Jesenik, COO of Orion180.
“We are committed to providing Orion180 with timely, accurate data in all areas they do business in to support their expansion plans and ensure that policyholders receive the support they need when they need it the most.” – Glen Brooks, SVP of insurance at Vexcel.
