Bring real-time natural hazard intelligence into the underwriting intake process to accelerate risk assessment, improve risk selection, and eliminate time-consuming manual research.
Boston, MA — August 4th, 2026 — Indico Data, the Intake & Orchestration Platform for insurance operations, today announced an integration with Swiss Re’s CatNet® API that embeds location-based catastrophe intelligence directly into the operations layer, at the point where underwriting work enters the enterprise.
By integrating Swiss Re’s CatNet® nat cat risk insights into Indico’s intake and orchestration workflows, insurers can automatically enrich inbound submissions with high-resolution natural hazard data, including hazard metrics, intensity scores, and catastrophe exposure insights, without adding manual steps, side research, or workflow disruption.
Swiss Re’s CatNet® API delivers globally consistent, real-time catastrophe intelligence derived from Swiss Re proprietary models and decades of underwriting expertise. When applied at intake through Indico’s operations layer, carriers can:
- Identify catastrophe exposure earlier in the workflow
- Apply consistent hazard scoring within underwriting guidelines
- Reduce downstream rework and manual research
- Improve portfolio-level visibility across lines and regions
- Maintain low-latency, straight-through processing at scale
“Modernizing underwriting isn’t just about models, it’s about fixing how work enters and moves through the enterprise,” said Tom Wilde, CEO of Indico Data. “By embedding Swiss Re’s CatNet® intelligence directly into the intake layer, we’re ensuring catastrophe risk data flows automatically into operational systems, increasing throughput, reducing manual effort, and keeping underwriting work in motion.”
“CatNet® API delivers globally consistent, real-time hazard intelligence directly into underwriting and pricing platforms,” said Ali Shahkarami, Head RDS Insurance & PSS, Swiss Re Risk Data Solutions. “Integrating CatNet® nat cat risk data into Indico’s intake and orchestration workflows ensures catastrophe risk intelligence is applied instantly and consistently, supporting efficient, scalable underwriting operations.”
