Jersey City, N.J., May 19, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Verisk (Nasdaq:VRSK), a leading global insurance data analytics provider, and Geotab, a global leader in IoT and connected transportation, announced today that the Verisk Data Exchange™ Add-In is now available on the Geotab Marketplace.

Fleet customers of Geotab, which provides award-winning connected vehicle solutions for improved fleet management to more than two million global subscribers, can now choose to share their telematics data directly with insurers participating in the Verisk Data Exchange™ through this new integration. The data will help commercial auto insurers gain more granular insights into fleet risks to refine underwriting, rating, and other potential insurance services for participating policyholders.

"Adding Geotab to our network helps us expand the reach of our innovative tools in the commercial auto market,” said Saurabh Khemka, President, ISO Commercial Lines. "This integrated offering helps us provide a reliable channel for Geotab customers to share their telematics data with insurers and bring telematics analytics and usage-based-insurance (UBI) products to the forefront of commercial auto risk management.”

The Verisk Data Exchange Add-In to the MyGeotab dashboard is now available through the Geotab Marketplace, a growing portfolio of mobile apps, hardware Add-Ons and software Add-Ins that enable Geotab customers to better manage their fleets.

"We are excited to welcome Verisk to the Geotab Marketplace,” said Louis De Jong, Executive Vice President at Geotab. "This new Marketplace offering enables customers to achieve an even greater return on investment from their Geotab solution by helping to bring focus to insurance needs as part of the total cost of ownership of their commercial fleet.”

• insurance providers that seek to offer policies based on driving behaviors
• brokers and agents who want to provide competitive rates to clients as a business development and retention tool
• fleet operators looking to manage their insurance and total ownership costs

Stakeholders can benefit from risk-adjusted pricing and telematics-supported insurance programs, and the new Geotab Marketplace integration with the Verisk Data Exchange helps simplify the process by enabling the data services necessary to underpin this evolution in commercial auto insurance.
