🚀 Bordereaux Processing Is Broken — Here’s How We’re Fixing It

In traditional insurance workflows, growth comes at a cost.

Winning more business means more binders. More binders mean more time spent gathering, structuring, and submitting data. For most insurers, that either means:

  • Hiring more admin staff

  • Paying external service providers per binder

  • Or purchasing software that still prices based on volume

 

In every one of these models, the cost of success increases with scale.

At Verodat, we do things differently.

💡 Why Verodat’s Pricing Wins:

  • No per-binder fees — scale without added cost

  • One setup = unlimited automated workflows

  • Governance and auditability built-in by default

 

💡 The Problem with Traditional Bordereaux Pricing

Most vendors in the bordereaux space price by:

  • Number of binders

  • Number of submissions

  • Or total volume processed

That might make sense for outsourced manual work—but not for automated, governed data processes.

When your pricing is tied to volume, you’re disincentivized to scale.


✅ The Verodat Model: Disruptive by Design

Verodat’s pricing flips the industry standard on its head.

We price based on value delivered, not the number of binders processed. That means:

  • More business doesn’t mean more cost

  • Automated processes are repeatable with zero incremental admin

  • Your cost-per-use-case decreases as you grow

This isn’t just cost-effective—it’s operationally scalable. One client processes dozens of bordereaux submissions without any offshore support or added headcount.

They didn’t have to hire.
They didn’t have to pay by binder.
They just turned on Verodat—and scaled.


🔁 What It Looks Like in Practice

Verodat automates the entire bordereaux workflow:

  • Ingests raw claims and premium data

  • Structures it according to each binder’s specifications

  • Pushes final outputs to systems like VYPR

  • Tracks all changes and submissions for full auditability

This same flow runs on a schedule, with no human intervention.

And because the infrastructure is already in place, adding a new binder doesn’t increase the workload or the price.


🔐 Governed, Compliant, and Audit-Ready

Every data point in Verodat is:

  • Traceable

  • Validated

  • Governed

No more spreadsheets passed between teams.
No more manual cut/paste.
No more scrambling for audit evidence.

With Verodat, you don’t just get automation.
You get governance and compliance by default—something few vendors offer.


🧠 Why It Matters Now

No More Cold Sweats: Why Data Quality at Entry Changes Everything

Learn how Verodat’s “bouncer at the door” approach transforms data reliability by validating information at the point of entry rather than adding more reporting layers.

Discover how this methodology eliminates reporting anxiety, removes person-dependency, and creates the foundation for effective AI implementation.

Verodat’s “bouncer at the door” approach delivers:

Trust in your data foundation – When validation happens at entry, everything built on top inherits that reliability

95% reduction in verification time – No more hours spent cross-checking numbers across systems

System resilience, not person dependency – Processes work regardless of who’s operating them

The Bouncer at the Door Approach

In the world of business reporting, there’s a familiar scenario that plays out too often:

A report shows unexpected numbers. Someone questions the data. The person responsible breaks into a cold sweat, frantically digging through spreadsheets, tracing data lineage, and questioning every step of their process.

As our CEO Thomas Russell explains: “What happens typically is people build reports at the edge—like a solution inside the house—and this works… it works and then the numbers start to creep off or they look unusual and somebody goes ‘hey that doesn’t look right.’ The person in the room gets a cold sweat going ‘what did I do wrong?’ And they go back trying to figure out and they’re pulling a thread and trying to find data…”

This scenario is familiar because it’s universal. Organizations build reporting solutions that work temporarily, but they’re built on shaky foundations. When questions arise (as they inevitably do), panic ensues.

This approach is backward. Adding another reporting layer to systems built on systems only increases complexity and risk.

At Verodat, we focus on ensuring your data is clean and validated at the point of entry – like a bouncer at the door, only letting quality data through. Instead of reporting at the edge of systems, you’re focusing on ensuring that your source data is clean.

This fundamental shift creates three immediate benefits:

  • Trust in your foundation: When your data is validated at entry, everything built on top of it inherits that reliability
  • Reduced manual verification: No more hours spent cross-checking numbers across systems
  • System resilience instead of person dependency: The process works regardless of who’s operating it
Testimonials

Real-World Impact

The impact?

One client transformed their reporting from an audit nightmare to “a 5-minute job every Monday. No cold sweat, absolutely works, there’s no way it’s not right.”

Even better, this approach removes person-dependency. As Thomas notes, “It doesn’t depend on her. The system does it really – she just needs someone to push it through.”

Why This Matters Now

This shift is particularly crucial in today’s business environment for three reasons:

  • Audit requirements are increasing: Regulators want to see not just your data, but how you ensure its accuracy
  • Decision speed is accelerating: Waiting days to verify numbers is no longer acceptable
  • AI adoption demands quality data: AI systems amplify data quality issues – garbage in, garbage out at scale

 

Beyond Reporting: The Foundation for AI-Ready Data

When you fix your data foundation, everything pointing to it works correctly. Reports become trustworthy not because you’ve added more validation layers, but because the source itself is impeccable.

Our clients experience:

  • 95% reduction in time spent validating data
  • Elimination of person-dependent knowledge
  • Full audit readiness with complete data lineage
  • Foundation for trusted AI implementation

 

This is how Verodat makes AI-ready data a reality – by getting the foundation right from the start.

Enterprise AI Agents: How Verodat’s Data Platform Enables Reliable Automation

AI agents promise incredible automation—but how do you deploy them effectively?

Why Verodat Is Essential for Effective AI Agent Deployment

Verodat’s platform provides the critical infrastructure that makes AI agents reliable and business-ready:

Structured Data Foundation

Our Context API ensures all data is properly formatted, validated, and consistently structured—eliminating the "garbage in, garbage out" problem that plagues many AI implementations

Data Governance Built-in

With Verodat, every data point used by the agent is traceable, with proper permissions and access controls that maintain compliance

Repeatability Through Standardization

The standardized data approach means agents perform consistently across deployments and use cases

Contextual Intelligence

Unlike basic automation, our platform enables agents to understand data in its proper business context, making connections between different data sources


Case Study: Automating Ireland’s Property Market Analysis with Structured Data

While many organizations are excited about AI agents, successful implementations require structured, trustworthy data foundations that most companies struggle to establish. This is precisely the gap that Verodat fills, enabling truly autonomous AI workflows through proper data governance and standardization.

In this case study, we’ll show how Verodat’s platform enables an AI agent to autonomously analyze Ireland’s Property Price Register (PPR) data—transforming raw property transactions into actionable market intelligence without human intervention.


Verodat’s AI Agent in Action: Property Market Analysis

To demonstrate these capabilities, we’ve implemented an autonomous property market analysis agent that:

✅ Autonomously fetches the latest PPR data through Verodat’s Context API
✅ Correlates property transactions with news headlines about the market
✅ Identifies emerging trends that would take analysts hours to discover manually
✅ Generates complete market analysis reports with zero human intervention
Publishes insights directly to business channels for immediate action


How It Works: Verodat's Platform Enabling AI Agents

Let’s examine how Verodat’s structured data approach makes this autonomous workflow possible:

Structured Data Access:

Structured Data Access:

  • The AI agent calls Verodat’s GET Context API, which delivers properly formatted, validated PPR data
  • Critically, the data arrives with complete metadata and schema definitions, enabling the agent to understand the structure without human guidance
  • All access is logged, tracked, and permissioned according to governance policies

Contextual Data Relationships:

Contextual Data Relationships:

  • Verodat enables the agent to understand relationships between datasets (property data and news trends)
  • This contextual understanding happens because our platform maintains data semantics and relationships

Reliable Query Translation:

Reliable Query Translation:

  • Because the data structure is consistent and well-defined, the agent can confidently generate accurate queries:
  • SELECT region, AVG(price_sold) AS avg_price, COUNT(*) AS num_salesFROM ppr_dataWHERE region = ‘Dublin’ AND date_sold BETWEEN CURRENT_DATE – INTERVAL ‘7 days’ AND CURRENT_DATEGROUP BY region;

  • Without Verodat’s structure, such autonomous query generation would fail due to inconsistent field names, data formats, or missing relationships

Trusted Output Generation:

Trusted Output Generation:

  • The agent produces reliable insights because all data lineage is maintained
  • Example output:

“This week’s data shows that Dublin’s average house price reached €480,000, aligning with increased mortgage approvals and rising demand. The biggest price growth was in South Dublin, where transactions rose 15% week-over-week.”

Repeatable Automation:

Repeatable Automation:

  • Because the data structure remains consistent, this agent can run indefinitely without degradation
  • The entire workflow can be replicated for different regions or markets without rebuilding

Beyond Property Data: AI Agents for Any Industry

Verodat’s structured data platform enables similar agent implementations across sectors:

Financial services

Autonomous risk analysis and compliance reporting

Supply chain

Real-time inventory optimization and disruption prediction

Healthcare

Patient data analysis and treatment protocol recommendations
