About us

MyCAT Marketplace was co-developed as the marketplace for buying and selling insurance claims created during catastrophic events. The MyCAT Command Center enables carriers to access live weather analytics, policyholder and claims information, performance analytics and the capacity of an actionable curated service pro network for multiple CAT events. The MyCAT solution significantly improves the customer experience by accelerating the timeframe in which high-quality service professionals begin repairs to a policyholder’s home after a CAT event.

MyCAT Marketplace (MyCAT) emerges as a groundbreaking Software as a Service (SaaS) solution tailored exclusively for the residential and commercial property insurance industry. Addressing the critical challenges encountered by insurance carriers and vendors in managing responses to catastrophic weather events, MyCAT stands as a comprehensive platform, akin to Amazon Marketplace meeting Angie’s List for catastrophe management.

Challenges Addressed

MyCAT Marketplace tackles the pressing challenges that plague insurance carriers and vendors in effectively managing responses to catastrophic weather events, which severely impact finances and customer satisfaction:

  • Cumbersome processes stemming from disconnected tools significantly inflate overhead expenses, straining financial resources.
  • Ineffective planning and execution during catastrophic events not only jeopardize timely responses but also undermine customer satisfaction, potentially leading to loss of clientele.
  • Sluggish decision-making and communication exacerbate resource allocation issues, hindering efficient operations and further eroding customer satisfaction.
  • The high costs associated with relying on independent adjuster resources impose a substantial financial burden on insurance carriers, compromising profitability and long-term financial stability.

Market Opportunity

The market opportunity for MyCAT remains robust, particularly in light of recent trends in insured losses. Despite last year's insured losses amounting to US$95 billion, close to the five-year average of US$105 billion, the figure still surpassed the 10-year average of US$90 billion. While slightly lower than the previous year's total of $125 billion, these figures underscore the persistent need for efficient disaster management solutions like MyCAT. By offering comprehensive tools for mitigating losses and enhancing resilience, MyCAT is well-positioned to address the ongoing challenges posed by natural catastrophes, presenting a significant opportunity for growth and impact in the insurance market.

  • Streamlining processes and consolidating tools within MyCAT significantly reduces operational costs for insurance carriers, thereby enhancing their profitability and financial stability.
