Anchor Software enables insurers to underwrite and manage modern print risks with data quality, address validation and compliance capabilities tailored to connected industrial equipment.
Why Anchor matters for high-value printing assets
Kodak’s PROSPER 7000 Turbo exemplifies the industry shift to fewer, higher-capacity, networked presses — raising exposures across property, equipment breakdown and cyber-physical loss. Anchor Software supports insurers by providing USPS- and Canada Post-certified address verification, standardized master data, and lifecycle data management so underwriters and risk teams can reliably identify locations, service partners and supplier nodes for concentrated revenue streams.
Underwriting: data-driven assessment of concentrated exposures
Underwriters assessing “Equipment breakdown & business interruption for high‑speed digital presses” need precise, validated location and asset data to estimate contingent BI limits and replacement cost. Anchor’s address validation and geocoding remove ambiguity in insured and vendor addresses, enabling accurate mapping of factory floor footprint, paper inventory, and proximity to fire suppression resources. Anchor also enforces data consistency across policy systems and integrates maintenance contract and serial-number records so underwriters can quickly review MTBF/MTTR metrics, parts availability, and service agreements.
Claims and loss mitigation with reliable data
In the event of downtime or fire, Anchor accelerates claims handling by verifying insured addresses, dispatching local adjusters, and confirming scheduled maintenance histories to support coverage determinations. For potential fraud or duplicate claims, address deduplication and identity linking reduce payment errors. Anchor’s data lineage and audit trails also help demonstrate compliance with notification and record-keeping requirements under GLBA, GDPR or industry guidelines when printed materials contain regulated data.
Managing cyber-physical exposure
Connected presses introduce new vectors that require “Cyber‑physical risk management for connected printing operations.” Anchor’s data management tools help insurers inventory which presses are on segmented networks, store vendor patch histories and log access controls for RIP servers and print-job queues. By combining address-validated site data with network segmentation status, risk engineers can prescribe targeted controls, risk-based pricing and endorsements for cyber-physical coverage.
Practical underwriting and product opportunities
Anchor helps agencies educate clients about combined policy packages — scheduled equipment, equipment breakdown, extra expense, contingent BI, and cyber liability — by producing validated exposures and BI-loss estimates tied to verified throughput and address data. Insurers can require or reward documented preventive maintenance, spare-part inventories and manufacturer support contracts, leveraging Anchor’s standardized records to automate audit checks.
Compliance, integration and operational efficiency
With USPS/Canada Post certification and API-first integrations, Anchor ensures address validation meets postal standards while feeding clean data into policy admin, BI modeling and claims systems. This lowers manual intervention, reduces disputes over jurisdictional compliance (OSHA, hazardous materials) and speeds underwriting decisions.
Conclusion
As print operations grow larger and more connected, Anchor Software gives insurers the data foundation to underwrite, price and manage risks for high-speed digital presses. From certified address verification to comprehensive data management and audit-ready records, Anchor turns complex cyber-physical exposures into actionable, insurable information.
