Nationwide recently selected TrueMotion to enhance the SmartRide® Mobile App program by collecting critical data about the prevalence of distracted driving. TrueMotion is the leading provider of turnkey, smartphone Usage Based Insurance (UBI) and Behavior Based Insurance (BBI) technology. Through a Software Development Kit integration within the existing SmartRide® Mobile App, TrueMotion’s smartphone-based service will provide granular data about frequency and type of distraction. TrueMotion’s technology does not collect content, but rather smart phone interaction while driving.

Insurity, a provider of core insurance processing and data integration and analytics solutions, announced recently that Iowa-based mutual company Merchants Bonding Company is in production with SIMS Claims to support administration of its surety bond claims.
