What cat teams get
Hurricane response, organized around one source of truth.
Beacon pairs proprietary forecast science with the operational tools to act on it.
Proprietary forecast models
Machine-learning models trained on historical tracks, ocean heat content and steering-flow regimes improving on consensus track and intensity for landfall events.
Overlay your exposure
Drop in your portfolio; every active storm shows cone-of-exposure metrics, TIV at risk, and policy counts per category band.
Real-time updates
When the storm turns, the dashboard turns. Carriers using Beacon during Florence flagged the late southerly jog hours before legacy products.
DHS-funded provenance
Forecast tracks developed under U.S. Department of Homeland Security infrastructure protection programs. Auditable and battle-tested.
Pre-event automation
Threshold-based webhooks fire when cone overlap, intensity or lead-time conditions trigger. Wire them into your CRM, claims pre-staging, and underwriting holds.
Atlantic & Pacific basins
Coverage across the North Atlantic, Eastern Pacific, and emerging basin support for global reinsurance and Lloyd's syndicates.

We were impressed during Hurricane Florence with the 'real time' storm track updating. Instead of moving up to the Chesapeake, the storm took an uncommon turn south. The fact that the tool was agile in updating in real time really helped us better understand our actual exposures.
