Ashbrook Technologies provides a data platform that aggregates satellite imagery, IoT sensor data, and weather forecasts to generate real‑time, crop‑specific risk scores. The platform integrates via APIs and dashboards with insurers’ underwriting, policy administration, and claims systems to automate pricing, exposure monitoring, and claim validation. It enables agricultural insurers and agribusinesses to improve loss predictability and accelerate payouts while maintaining regulatory compliance.

Problem
Agricultural producers and insurers lack real-time, high‑resolution data to accurately assess weather‑related, pest, and market risks, leading to imprecise underwriting and delayed claim settlements. Existing risk‑management tools are fragmented and not tailored to the specific workflows of (re)insurance carriers operating in the $15 B agricultural sector. This data gap hampers the ability to price policies competitively and to provide timely support to farmers during loss events.
Solution
Ashbrook Technologies develops end‑to‑end software platforms that ingest satellite imagery, IoT sensor feeds, and weather forecasts to generate actionable risk metrics for agricultural assets. The platform embeds actuarial models and machine‑learning algorithms that produce dynamic risk scores, which can be accessed via secure APIs or visual dashboards. By integrating directly with insurers’ underwriting, policy‑admin, and claims‑management systems, the solution enables automated policy pricing, continuous exposure monitoring, and rapid claim validation. The modular architecture allows carriers to scale the solution across multiple crops, regions, and product lines while maintaining compliance with data‑privacy and industry regulations. Ultimately, the platform improves loss predictability for insurers and provides farmers with faster, data‑driven risk mitigation support.
Target Audience
Primary customers are agricultural insurers and reinsurers seeking to modernize underwriting and claims operations, as well as large agribusiness firms that require integrated risk‑assessment tools for their managed farms.
