Aldo Monteforte, CEO, The Floow, said: “We have experienced significant demand for our solutions in the U.S. market. Partnering with an organisation of Agero’s caliber and experience in the industry gives us the distribution reach, credibility and complementary assets required to maximise market penetration. We look forward to working with Agero to provide cutting edge telematics insights that will enable insurers to bring behavior-based information to drivers and enhance the incident recovery process.”

Agero’s Driver360™ platform offers UBI predictive analytics that uses mobile device sensors on the smartphone to track driver behavior, such as how often and far a policyholder drives; how hard they brake or accelerate; if they travel during peak urban traffic hours; and more. By having this data, insurers are able to tailor a driver’s insurance premium to match their specific risk levels. The Agero platform also offers Automatic Crash Notification (ACN) technology that enables mobile devices to determine the severity of impact during an accident, and respond by automatically contacting emergency responders, designated personal contacts, and the insurer, while simultaneously utilising Agero’s years of experience in accident scene management and proven national network of service providers to deliver the assistance that drivers need.
