Specialist motor insurer ERS has signed a new partnership with insurance intelligence provider Percayso Inform to enhance the carrier’s data enrichment capabilities. ERS is now utilising the Percayso quote manipulation tool across its private car business, with plans to use it across its aggregator-based products including van and taxi over the coming months.

Martin Hall, active underwriter at ERS, said: “We’re delighted to integrate Percayso into our data ecosystem as their quote intelligence platform adds a further tool to our arsenal in combating the increasingly concerning issue of quote manipulation.

“With motor premiums rising on average by over 50% at a time when consumers are facing a real cost of living crisis, the motor insurance market is expected to experience another tough year in 2024. It is vitally important that we maximise the wealth of data available to us to write better business and better support our broker partners.”

David Kelly, commercial director at Percayso, added: “We truly believe in creating true partnerships with our customers and so are delighted that we’ve been able to refine our quote intelligence offering to deliver the unique blend of data points they [ERS] need to support their pricing strategies.”
