Value collection

Property insurance value collection, without the chase

Property insurance value collection starts when you open the new period. Every site updates its property and business-interruption values in the app, with photos and documents attached. Your broker sees insurer-ready numbers from day one.

75% less time collecting and analysing risk data Steen Dandanell, VP Group Treasury & Insurance
The short version

Value collection in 30 seconds

Every site in its own form, every answer in one table, and numbers your broker can use.

The problem

Renewal season should not cost you a month

Every year the same routine: a spreadsheet goes out to every site, and the weeks that follow belong to whoever has not answered yet.

The chase

Forty sites, forty email threads. You are the one keeping track of who has answered and who hasn't — and the deadline is yours, not theirs.

Version chaos

values_2027_final_v3.xlsx. Nobody is quite sure which file the broker actually received, or which numbers went to the insurer.

Stale numbers

By the time the last site reports, the first one is weeks out of date — and you present them to the market as if they were collected on the same day.

How it works

Open the period, and the sites do the rest

21RISK turns the collection round into three steps — and you only own the first one.

  1. 01

    Open the new period

    Last period’s values carry over, so no site starts from a blank sheet. Every site gets its own form and only updates what changed.

  2. 02

    Sites answer in the app

    Property damage and business-interruption values, plus any other figures you ask for, with photos and documents attached where they belong. You watch progress per site instead of chasing it.

  3. 03

    Share insurer-ready data

    Your broker sees current values the moment they land — no export, no attachment, no version to reconcile.

Statement of values

Your statement of values, straight from the sites

A statement of values (SOV) is the schedule your broker takes to market: one row per location, with its address, its property damage and business interruption values and its total insured value. In 21RISK nobody assembles it. The Values table already has one row per site for the period, with the address and coordinates, every value column, TIV in your base currency and the change since last period. Save the columns your broker asks for as a view, and export it to Excel when the submission goes out.

Period comparison

What changed since the last renewal, and why

Once the new values are in, see how TIV moved since the previous Insurance period and how much of it came from exchange rates alone. Every site lands in one group: increased, decreased, first values, or unchanged — split by whether anyone reviewed them, so the sites nobody has looked at stand out before the numbers go to your broker.

Inflation

Are your values keeping up with prices?

A value carried over unchanged loses ground every year prices rise, and the average clause cuts every claim in proportion to the shortfall. The Inflation tab holds each site's values against consumer and construction prices in its own country, from public statistics, so the sites that fell behind stand out before the renewal, not after a claim.

Value columns

Ask for the figures you need, and keep TIV clean

Each Insurance period starts on its own inception date and lists the values sites are asked for: the built-in property damage and business interruption columns, up to 20 of your own in each group, and other values, such as an estimated maximum loss, that sites report on the same form but that never add to TIV. A new period carries the previous one's columns and values forward, marked as carried forward until someone confirms or changes them. Lock the period once it has gone to market, and it stays as it was sent.

Business interruption

Sites give twelve months. The BI period does the sum.

Many companies know business interruption as a yearly figure, while the insurer needs it for the whole indemnity period. Set the period to take a 12-month base value, and sites enter what twelve months are worth. Total BI and TIV count it scaled by each site's BI period, and the form shows the sum before anything is saved. The Values table keeps the amount as entered next to the scaled figure, so a site that moves from 12 to 24 months shows why its TIV jumped.

Business Interruption What twelve months of business interruption are worth
Amount (EUR) 7,400,000
BI period 24 months

7,400,000 covers 12 months. With a BI period of 24 months, it contributes 7,400,000 × 24/12 = 14,800,000 to total business interruption.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do sites actually report their values?

Each site opens its own form in 21RISK and fills in property damage and business-interruption values, attaching photos and documents where they help. You see progress per site as the answers land, so the follow-up is a glance rather than a spreadsheet of its own.

What is a statement of values in property insurance?

A statement of values (SOV), also called a schedule of values, is the list of insured locations an insurer prices a property programme on. Each row is one site: its address, its property damage values such as buildings, machinery and equipment and stock, its business interruption value and its total insured value. Underwriters read it with the COPE information for each site. Where a site’s values are too low, the average clause cuts its claims in proportion to the shortfall.

Can 21RISK produce our statement of values?

Yes. The Values table is the statement of values for the period: one row per site with its address, every value column, TIV in base currency and the change since last period. Save the columns your broker asks for as a table view, export it to Excel, or let your broker read the same values over the REST API. Lock the period when the submission goes out, and that statement stays as it was sent, next to next year’s.

Can our broker and insurer see the values directly?

Yes. You can share current values with brokers and insurers from the platform, or let their systems pull them over our REST API — no login for you to manage and no email chain to keep in sync.

What happens to last year's numbers?

Nothing is overwritten. Every answer and edit is versioned, so when an underwriter asks what changed since the last renewal — and why — the answer is already in the site’s history. For the whole portfolio, the Period comparison tab under Insurance Analytics shows how TIV moved since the previous period, which sites and value categories drove it, and which unchanged sites nobody has reviewed yet.

Our sites report in different currencies. How do exchange rates show up?

Each Insurance period converts values to your base currency at its own exchange rates, so a site that changed nothing can still move in base currency. Period comparison keeps the two apart: changes in values are measured at the previous period’s rates, and a separate currency effect shows, per currency, how far the rate moved and how much TIV that moved.

How do we know our values keep up with inflation?

The Inflation tab under Insurance Analytics compares each site’s change in value since the previous period with prices in its own country: buildings with construction prices, other values with consumer prices. The price indices come from public statistics (national statistics offices, Eurostat, the OECD, the IMF and the World Bank). You see the gap per country and per site, in money and in percentage points, and the sites furthest behind come first. The figures are an indication, not a valuation.

What about stock we keep at a warehouse or another site?

Record it on the site that owns it, against the site where it stands. The amount then counts toward the warehouse’s total, because that is the building the insurer prices, and both sites see the arrangement. A third-party warehouse becomes a site of its own first, so it can be priced like any other address. The Off-site values view under Insurance Analytics then shows who holds the most for others and who keeps the most elsewhere, with a table of every arrangement that exports to Excel.

Can we collect figures that are not insured values, like an estimated maximum loss?

Yes. Next to the property damage and business interruption columns, each Insurance period has a group of other values: sites report them on the same form and they count toward the site’s progress, but they never add to TIV. Each group holds up to 20 columns of your own, and the Values table, exports, bulk import and Power BI all include them.

Our sites know business interruption as a yearly figure. Do they have to work out the full period?

Not if you choose a 12-month base value for the period. Sites then enter what twelve months of business interruption are worth, and Total BI and TIV count it scaled by the site’s BI period: 24 months counts double, 6 months counts half. The form shows the sum under the amount, and the Values table shows both figures with their change from last period. It is a straight scale, so where your programme expects a forecast for the whole period that includes growth or seasonality, keep the default and have sites enter the full amount.

Can the numbers still change after they went to the broker?

Not once you lock the period. A locked period refuses every change, to its values, its columns, its inception and currency dates, and bulk imports into it, until an administrator unlocks it. It cannot be deleted either.

How is this different from the spreadsheet we use today?

The spreadsheet has no owner, no progress and no history: you chase it, you merge it, and you hope it is current. Nilfisk estimates 75% less time on collecting and analysing the data after moving to 21RISK.
