Like in life, as an adult, we are expected to honour these new responsibilities in the best possible way, growth in business, too, get you a certain amount of tasks and added pressure with it. Over the last few years there has been exponential growth in the automotive sector. Roads are stacked with vehicles, and unfortunately, accidents are occurring too often. Making mobility safer has become essential. This concern hasn’t escaped the notice of people at Floow.

The company’s approach comprises of harnessing sensors, software and data to assist the insurance and automotive industries in tackling the issue effectively.

‘Our purpose stems from the observation that modern mobility is rife with expensive inefficiencies. The worst of these are the millions of deaths and injuries arising from road accidents, a tragedy that hits the younger generations most of all. Road accidents are the leading cause of death for young people,’ said Monteforte.

The way Floow has slipped into the mould of telematics, the swiftness and authority of it has brought the company an astounding amount of regard. By backing their base of insurance partners by providing predictive analytics and digital end-user propositions that boost customer loyalty and retention, Floow remains focused on writing a new chapter in their history.

Floow can be deemed as extremely versatile when it comes to picking devices that are expected to act as platforms for bringing their mobility solutions into effect. From OBD devices to smartphone, Floow’s mobility solutions are designed in such a way that they can adapt to different set-ups in an equally hassle-free manner. These solutions are basically used to capture data and produce contextual scores that indicate the driver’s behavioural pattern. Creating a blend by roping data science experience and social science into the mix, Floow enables the insurance companies in making an accurate evaluation of the risk factor and subsequently offer helpful propositions for drivers that encourage safer driving.

‘Floow’s mobility solutions are kind of a win-win situation for everyone. Our insurance clients benefit from fewer claims and more granularity and accuracy in how they price risk the policies, whilst policyholders know that their premium reflects their real driving behaviour and that they have new tools and insights to help improve it,’ said Monteforte.

Unlike many, Floow’s telematics systems are devised to extend an exclusive incentive scheme that actually rewards the driver for better driving behaviour. In addition, the application offers customized feedback over aspects like mobile device distraction, speed and aggressive acceleration and deceleration. Besides the application, the feedback can also be availed through phone calls by a trained coach. If stats are to be believed, every coach prevents at least one accident every week. Floow is not only about innovation. The company has a strict stance on security of collected data.
