Verisk Insurance Solutions, a leading source of information about property/casualty insurance risk, today announced an alliance with TomTom Telematics, one of the world’s leading telematics solution providers. Through the alliance, fleet owners can choose to flow driving data collected by the TomTom Telematics Service Platform with WEBFLEET, the company’s Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) fleet management solution, into the Verisk Data Exchange™. This will provide TomTom WEBFLEET subscribers access to fleet insurance benefits and operational safety feedback. Verisk Insurance Solutions is a Verisk Analytics (Nasdaq:VRSK) business.
