Cotality provides enhanced visualization and portfolio impacts on the Los Angeles wildfires through new strategic relationship with Vexcel Imaging
New alliance will enrich Cotality's proprietary CoreAI™ models with Vexcel's industry-leading aerial imagery to understand property characteristics
IRVINE, Calif., January 24, 2025 — Cotality, a leader in global property information, analytics and data-enabled solutions, announced a new strategic alliance with Vexcel Imaging, a global leader in aerial imagery.
Vexcel will provide Cotality with aerial imagery from the U.S., Canada, Western Europe and Australia, including post-disaster (Gray Sky) imagery captured after wildfires, hurricanes and tornadoes. This imagery is part of Cotality's broader roadmap for the implementation of AI-driven analysis and measurements. Vexcel refreshes its imagery library annually, covering more than 90% of the U.S. population, with urban areas refreshed up to three times a year. This will allow Cotality to consistently provide clients with up-to-date, high-resolution imagery.
"Bringing Vexcel's imagery to Cotality's solutions will be a game changer for the industry, matching unparalleled property intelligence capabilities with high-resolution imagery that is trusted by governments and industries worldwide," said Garret Gray, Cotality's president of Global Insurance Solutions. "This relationship will help Cotality continue to provide solutions that empower property professionals in new, unexpected ways, allowing artificial intelligence to streamline tasks and free up people to focus on people in their most urgent time of need and beyond."
In response to the ongoing Los Angeles wildfires, Cotality has embedded Vexcel's high-resolution disaster response aerial imagery within Weather Insight™, a platform designed to provide detailed weather-related data and analytics and allow property organizations to make more informed decisions. This integration will enable insurance, restoration, and other property companies to analyze their portfolios quickly against property-specific damage assessments and total reconstruction costs. Organizations will also gain a comprehensive understanding of their overall financial exposure and manage appropriate resources.
"Our commitment to providing complete, up-to-date, and consistent aerial imagery across the US and worldwide allows new levels of insight and accuracy," said Erik Jorgensen, CEO of Vexcel. "We're excited to see how this will help Cotality deliver even more innovative property intelligence to its customers."
