PISA
Determining realistic new replacement values in property insurance is a very complex business.
Swiss Re has developed a computer-based valuation tool that helps to determine risk-adjusted new replacement values of buildings and contents: PISA Valuation (Property Insurance Sums Appraisal)
Overview
PISA Valuation is a comfortable and user-friendly PC-assisted application that can be used for a wide range of occupancy types. The software is primarily designed for property underwriters and risk engineers and it helps with the expert calculation of replacement values commensurate with risk, thereby offering protection against the potential negative consequences of underinsurance. PISA Valuation is advantageous to all those involved in property insurance: policyholders, insurance companies and brokers.
