Ondo InsurTech Plc ("Ondo"), the London-listed insurtech company which aims to be the leading provider of claims prevention technology for home insurers, is pleased to announce it has signed a  renewal contract with the international insurance group Hiscox, an early adopter of the Leakbot system.

 

Following the success of activity in the last 3 years, the contract will see Hiscox continue to offer LeakBot to new and existing customers through its direct customer journey and broker network.

 

Highlights

-  Early adopter Hiscox will continue to roll out the LeakBot system in the UK following the success of activity so far.

-  New and existing customers will continue to be offered a LeakBot via direct and broker channels.

Hiscox is a leading specialist insurer in the UK, with over 60k home insurance policies. Hiscox have been benefiting from introducing the LeakBot system since 2019 and plan to continue to roll out devices to more of their customer base.

The new signing follows the release of the Consumer Intelligence independent research which found that insurers save 70% in water damage claims by introducing LeakBot.

Cheralyn Perry, Head of Art and Private Clients Distribution at Hiscox, says: "LeakBot have been helping Hiscox customers to minimise the frequency of leaks and the impact of any water damage for a while now. Escape of water incidents is disruptive and costly, which is why preventative technologies like this are so important. We're pleased to be continuing our partnership with LeakBot as the results so far have been excellent."

 

Craig Foster, CEO of Ondo InsurTech Plc, says: "Hiscox were one of the early adopters of LeakBot and we're proud of the success we've seen with Hiscox so far. We look forward to continuing to support them with their efforts to increase the rollout of LeakBot to their new and existing customers."
