Their flagship product, Axiom Pro®, is a cloud-based document management platform that enables secure, seamless management and sharing of digital content. With over 25 years of experience, Image API’s solutions are widely used by State and Local governments to drive digital transformation.

    The Challenge

    Our client faced multiple challenges with their outdated system.

We reworked the public and admin portals using the latest technologies, integrated all filing systems into a unified platform, and improved scalability to handle increased demands.

              Sertis


              Industry: Insurance

              The Sertis Risk Indicator (SRI) improves US commercial real estate insurance using operational behavior data to predict claim likelihood. Sertis’ unique risk score enhances risk assessment and pricing in the multifamily industry with real-time data.

              The Challenge

              Insurance underwriters struggle with assessing multifamily property risks due to conventional methods' limitations, overlooking critical operational behaviors. This leads to imprecise evaluations, higher premiums, and missed opportunities to incentivize responsible property management.

              Our team addressed these challenges with the SRI Score Tool, a dynamic scoring system integrating data from property operations and maintenance. It combines physical attributes with real-time operational analysis, offering underwriters a comprehensive tool for informed decisions. The tool supports complex analytics and includes QuickSight dashboards for easy navigation and understanding of results.
