Sourced limitations

  • Publicly named carrier deployments remain thin relative to EagleView's installed base. Allstate, State Farm (dedicated newsroom landing page), Encompass, Hastings Mutual and USAA can be anchored to public sources; other major US carriers (Liberty Mutual, Nationwide, Farmers) are widely reported to use aerial imagery but EagleView's own 2018 corporate fact sheet and Clearlake's portfolio page describe the insurance footprint in aggregate rather than by carrier name.
  • Aerial-imagery-driven non-renewals have drawn regulatory scrutiny in 2024-2026. A Carrier Management feature in March 2026 surveyed emerging state-level rules on the use of aerial imagery and AI in underwriting decisions — a risk factor for any carrier standardising on imagery-based pre-inspection.
  • Individual carrier case studies at the product level are sparse relative to the size of Nearmap's insurance footprint. The platform's reach is real but carrier deployments are described in aggregate ranges rather than by name.
