Overview

GWT Insight is an underwriting and risk data platform for the commercial property insurance sector. The company deploys patented IoT sensor hardware in commercial buildings to collect real-time environmental and operational data, which is processed through cloud pipelines and machine learning to generate actionable risk intelligence for carriers, risk engineers, and property managers.

The core offering consists of two components: a hardware sensor unit (GWTi-Observer) that captures data from building systems not accessible by conventional means, and a no-code dashboard platform (GWTinsight-Maker) that enables clients to build custom monitoring products and reports without software development resources. The data service is priced on a per-building, per-day subscription model. Use cases span risk pricing, safety compliance monitoring, ESG reporting, building performance optimization, and digital twin analytics.

The company has deployed its platform with global carriers including Zurich Insurance (UK) and AXA XL, as well as facility management firms. GWT Insight was featured in the Willis Towers Watson Quarterly InsurTech Briefing in 2025 and launched a general release of Insight Maker in the same year. The company is bootstrapped and operates from the Surrey Research Park in Guildford.
