Capabilities

What happened at that property, on that date

Property- and date-specific weather intelligence (hail, wind, lightning, and hurricane) delivered in seconds, inside the claims workflow.

Four perils, verified

Hail size and severe-hail probability, wind speed and duration, lightning strikes within five miles, and hurricane wind, all property-specific and date-specific.

Delivered inside the workflow

Reports arrive in Xactimate, XactAnalysis, ClaimSearch's Research Hub, Guidewire, the online store, or the Benchmark API.

Auto-ordering by rule

Trigger reports by peril type, intensity, and location, so verification happens without a human remembering to ask.

The date-of-loss check that pays for itself

Verisk's XactAnalysis industry data shows 40% of hail-related claims carry an inconsistent date of loss.

Evidence that holds downstream

Property-specific reports in seconds: documentation that stands up in review, subrogation, and reinsurance recovery.

History on demand

Weather conditions for any continental U.S. or Canada location, including damage that predates policy inception.

Where it fits

Benchmark in the claims lifecycle

First notice of loss
Assign & triage
Inspect & estimate
Quality assure
Collaborate & settle
Restore & learn

Weather intelligence lands earliest in the claim: validating the reported loss at first notice, segmenting and routing at assignment, and standing as evidence when the estimate is reviewed downstream. As part of the core claims suite, Benchmark reports arrive inside Xactimate and XactAnalysis: verification is a step in the workflow, not a detour.
