Lucci is a B2B embedded fintech product using 3-D aerial imaging of properties to provide tailor made, real time insurance policies in milliseconds. Bringing together computer vision, and api driven approach, Lucci will disrupt the home insurance distribution model. Lucci can be embedded into any platform, to plug and play.

Powered by Cloud Cover and SUE (Smart Underwriting Engine), this convenient use of 3-D aerial imaging in insurance is a game changer in an industry suffering from legacy systems, manual paper work and silos of data.

Cloud Cover is able to instantly answer questions on a customer’s behalf, from surrounding fire and flood risks to whether or not a property has a pool or trampoline.

“Using 3-D aerial imaging and cloud-based technology, Lucci is instant and incredibly accurate, helping businesses scale-up and grow their customer base by fully digitalising and embedding insurance” said Naby Mariyam, CEO and Founder of Coverhero.

By having a data driven approach, Lucci could save the industry a staggering $16Bn a year in loss adjustments. This would mainly be seen in the discrepancies at the point of claim, which is beneficial for the insurer processing claims and the overall customer experience.

“This product was designed to work towards the net zero emissons Paris Agreement. Every Lucci policy will offset at least 11 tonnes of carbon emissions, making it  the first home insurance API  to put decarbonisation at the forefront of its policies.I strongly believe the financial industry needs to empower consumers to spend their dollars on climate friendly products” continued Mariyam.

This new form of immediate home insurance will benefit the planet and save time for homeowners in an ever changing property landscape. It is also cheaper for businesses to use.

“We’re keen to talk to more distribution partners in banking, fintech, real estate and the mortgage industry who can all leverage Lucci to deliver competitive advantage and improve customer experiences.” Mariyam concludes.

Coverhero has already stormed the insurance industry with Hustle, an insurance product tailored to gig workers' income protection needs, and are ready to do it again with the launch of Lucci.
