U.S. RE Takes Stake in Thornberry Consulting

U.S. RE, the international financial services and reinsurance brokerage firm, has entered into a strategic partnership with an ownership stake in Thornberry Consulting of Indianapolis, developer of GeoEstimator.

Thornberry introduced GeoEstimator to the property insurance market and roofing industry in 2009 and has since expanded into other markets. The technology gives users streamlined access to an overlay of land and property conditions using satellite and aerial technology to facilitate reports with accurate measurements of the exterior components of any structure.

It creates a 3D sketch model of individual properties, calculates total living area, measures roofs and captures precise angles, and provides a desktop tool to expedite the adjustment of a high volume of exterior claims. GeoEstimator can be synchronized with other technology dealing with catastrophe exposure management, insurance-to-value, and a host of other activities.

Also, Arthur T. Dougherty has been elected a member of the company's board of directors. Dougherty is a senior vice president of U.S. RE, where he has major responsibility within the national brokerage team.
