A fleet underwriter ~almost~ bound a policy that could’ve cost the insurer millions. Here's the story: Before Kalepa, their process was too manual. Across emails, submission documents, FMCSA lookups, news articles, and legal filings, they were spending too much time on every risk — and still missing important hazards. That's where Kalepa came in. Kalepa's AI-powered software immediately gave them a complete view of the risk, surfacing serious FMCSA violations, prior losses from 5 different loss run documents, suspended CDLs from the MVRs, and hidden exposures from news and legal filings — all within minutes. A year later? A high-cost lawsuit hit the insured — but the insurer had already walked away from the risk. Want to focus your underwriting on profitable growth, and avoid binding those disaster policy? Learn more at Kalepa.com.

Very much enjoyed day 1 of the Professional Liability Underwriting Society D&O Symposium today representing Kalepa. We've been supporting more and more D&O underwriters with risk analysis and triage and it's great to connect with other leaders in the space. The opening session with Ziad Kubursi Jaimie Hunter Jeremie Saada and Brian Zink had a great mix of both humor and valuable information. It was a great panel that I enjoyed very much. I'm looking forward to the sessions and connections tomorrow.

“I don't know if I could function doing daily underwriting without having it.” Why does Cassie Paul from Paragon Insurance Holdings love Kalepa? "We can be efficient and quote more business, we get to the right business that we want to quote, and we make sure that we're getting back to our brokers in a timely fashion so we can bind new business…It has increased our production tremendously." We sat down with Cassie to discuss the ways that Kalepa's software has become a "total game changer" for her team. Check out the link in the top comment ( 👇 ) to read the full interview with Cassie. The Kalepa team is also headed to the WSIA (Wholesale & Specialty Insurance Association) Underwriting Summit in two weeks to meet with E&S leaders like Cassie. Will we see you there?

A carwash operating as a daycare. A contractor secretly handling asbestos. A chameleon carrier dodging FMCSA violations. These aren’t hypotheticals—they’re real underwriting blind spots uncovered by entity resolution. And without it, insurers miss hidden risks and make costly mistakes. See why entity resolution is the most overlooked part of smarter underwriting - and read the playbook on how Kalepa does it with industry-leading accuracy. (Full link in the comments)
