It’s been a busy couple of months for The Floow as we take our solutions and capabilities to two of the biggest insurance events in the UK and US.We attended the BIBA conference in Manchester in mid-May where we debuted our broker proposition and at the end of May, we attended the Dig-In conference in Austin, Texas where our CEO, Aldo Monteforte, had a fireside chat with Head of Telematics, Mobile and Connected Products at CSAA, Danny Maco, where they spoke about our work in partnership together.

The Floow at BIBA Conference Manchester, UK - 14th to 16th May 2019

In May, a team from The Floow attended the annual BIBA conference in Manchester where we debuted our new suite of broker propositions designed to provide flexibility when getting started with telematics. These propositions allow brokers to get out to market painlessly, with speed and confidence, quickly delivering value to brokers and all those within their ecosystem.

Our broker propositions cover three different areas, these are:

• Test and Learn - ideal for ‘try before you buy’ proposition, the ‘test and learn’ option allows brokers to get out to market fast with a smartphone proposition which helps them select the best risk onto their book.

• Broker-led - ideal for brokers wanting to bring a Managing General Agent (MGA) or ‘Broker Owned’ proposition to market, the broker-led option enables the development of a unique proposition which can be tailored to specific business needs using a smartphone or device-integrated approach.

• Open Market - this option is ideal for insurers wanting to attract brokers into their ecosystem, providing an open market, device-agnostic product using standardised driver scores based on The Floow’s scoring platform which is proven to be highly predictive of claims.

As well as launching our new broker proposition at BIBA, we had some great conversations and welcomed many contacts old and new onto our booth to enjoy a go on our VR driving experience simulator.

The Floow at Dig-In Austin, Texas - 29th to 31st May 2019

At the end of May, a number of US and senior colleagues from The Floow attended the Dig-In conference. Last year, we demoed our recently released FloowDrive product, we were overwhelmed with the response to this new product and its game-changing capabilities for the market.

This year, Aldo hosted a fireside chat with CSAA'sDanny Maco, where they spoke about our work in partnership together over the last two years and how our relationship has developed to one of mutual trust, respect and true partnership to allow for commercial success for both parties.

It was a great opportunity to talk in depth with a number of different insurance companies about our ability to score and build IP around existing telematics data. This partnership model is one we are particularly proud of and to which we apply significant resources as a business, as discussed by Aldo and Danny.

It was also interesting to hear more from the wider tech industry, such as Apple founder SteveWozniak who spoke about AI and the potential it has to stifle creativity and innovation as it can limit the experiences we are exposed to. An interesting thought for The Floow to consider as a technology company focused on innovation and developing pioneering products and services which meet and exceed client needs.
