Why CRU Chose Kespry for Drone Insurance Inspections


August 22, 2017   by CRU Adjusters

Kespry, a leading aerial intelligence platform provider, recently announced that its technology will be used by the CRU Group (Catastrophe Response Unit Adjusters) to support the company’s global insurance claims operations.

The announcement of the relationship with CRU is an important step for the company with regard to its strategic direction. CEO George Mathew, who joined Kespry early this year, told DroneLife in an interview that a “primary focus [of the company] will be largely around industry expansion .  .  . [with] a heavy push into the insurance sector.”

“Adding the Kespry drone platform to the advanced tools used by our claim adjusters keeps us ahead of the curve and reinforces our industry leadership,” said Glenn Smith, Vice President, CRU Adjusters. “Kespry’s drone technology further enhances how we handle and process claims, as well as underwriting elevations and pre-loss reporting. We have become synonymous with efficiency while maintaining a high level of accuracy, and our relationship with Kespry continues to support and demonstrate this commitment.”

CRU Adjusters is setting up a new division with a team of adjusters focused on the initiative with Kespry. Smith will lead this team, all of whom are licensed pilots in both Canada and the US, as well as certified to fly Kespry drones and adjust claims. Smith’s team is very experienced in damage recognition.
