Prevention only earns its place if there are enough of the right customers to justify it. This number is a specific, identifiable slice of your book, not all of it.

The clearest signal is housing age.

In the EU, 75 percent of homes were built before 1990, with renovation rates near 1 percent a year. Older homes have hidden pipework and walls that make leaks harder to spot early, which is exactly the risk prevention addresses.

Escape of water alone accounts for 25 to 50 percent of all home insurance claims across Europe.

Within that pool, three groups fit best: high-asset-exposure families, digitally engaged owners of older homes, and premium-segment customers with the willingness to pay for service.

All three are identifiable from data you already hold: property age, home value, household composition.

Launching an IoT solution doesn't have to mean building everything from scratch.

With a white label solution, you can build on proven, deployment-ready technology and make it your own - from the devices and packaging to the application your customers use.

That means less development on your side and more time to focus on the solution you want to bring to market.

What if you could identify fall risks before they turn into incidents?

During a 12-week deployment in Australia, HalleyAssist® combined its AI-powered Home Risk Intelligence platform with Onics’ discreet and reliable wireless motion sensors.

The result: just one actual in-room fall, compared with nine expected falls.

Onics provided the privacy-preserving, real-time sensing layer behind the solution — delivering reliable in-room activity data without cameras or wearables. Combined with HalleyAssist®’s behavioural intelligence, this helped uncover hidden risk patterns and gave care teams the insights to act earlier.

Home insurance is commoditized. Customers often compare premiums purely based on price, and switching providers is fast and easy.

A strong margin today does not change that; it just means the environment currently favors you.

It says nothing about how many new customers you are winning, or how many existing ones are quietly comparing you to a competitor at renewal.

Prevention works on both fronts. Today’s insurance customers are expecting smart solutions, and having one gives you something to sell besides price. Insurers that bundle a connected home solution with insurance have seen significant sales growth compared with standard home insurance in the same segments.

This underlines the results of a Guidewire study, which found that 80% of European insurance customers are interested in technology that alerts them to potential damage before it occurs.

On retention, insurers report 10 to 20 percent lower churn once customers have embedded hardware and active monitoring in their home. Once someone feels genuinely looked after, switching for a cheaper premium stops feeling worth it.

Water leaks account for 25-30% of home insurance claims and are among the most expensive and frequent causes.

By using smart water detection sensors, leakages can be detected early, and damage can be avoided.

Insurance companies providing such a risk prevention solution can significantly cut their payouts, position themselves as a proactive insurance provider, and improve customer loyalty.

Onics offers P&C insurers a complete risk prevention solution for water leaks, fires, and burglary, and enables insurers to quickly launch a damage prevention solution.

Many insurers are looking for ways to reduce claims costs. But is claims reduction the only measure of return on investment?

Prevention solutions can create value in several ways:

✅ Reduced damage severity
✅ Improved customer engagement
✅ Increased retention
✅ Product differentiation

As insurers look for new ways to build customer relationships beyond renewals and claims, prevention is becoming an increasingly important strategy.

Claims reduction may be the long-term objective. However, meaningful claims savings often depend on customer adoption, engagement, and scale.

In the short term, prevention solutions can help insurers differentiate their offerings, strengthen customer relationships, and build engagement. Over time, this creates the foundation for long-term risk reduction and claims savings.

At Onics, we help insurers develop prevention solutions that support both short-term business goals and long-term risk reduction.

When solution providers search for the right technology partner, the decision often comes down to expertise, reliability, and the ability to scale.

But there is another critical piece of the puzzle that is too often overlooked: logistics 📦🚚

From shipping to warehousing, logistics can make or break your ability to deliver on time, keep costs down, and grow your business.

Many solution providers lack these capabilities in-house, and managing multiple vendors quickly becomes complex, expensive, and time-consuming.

That is why choosing a technology partner that can also handle your logistics needs is a massive advantage.

Prevention only works when it works in practice 🏡

In this panel session, one point stood out clearly: prevention becomes far more powerful when technology, response routine, and customer follow-up work together.

With connected home solutions, incidents can be detected early, customers can be notified quickly, and response teams can follow up before small issues turn into major damage.

Thanks Hildur Smaradottir from Ohma (formerly Viking Guard) for sharing valuable perspectives on how this works in practice.
