AXA XL’s North America Construction insurance business is launching the Construction Ecosystem, a digital platform that aggregates data to provide AXA XL’s contractor clients with insights to help manage risks on their jobsites and across their organizations.

Starting in June, a number of current customers will have exclusive access to the Construction Ecosystem and have signed on to provide initial feedback on the platform. Wider access is planned for later in 2020.

According to Gary Kaplan, president of AXA XL’s North America Construction business, the Construction Ecosystem was pulled together with curated technologies to help clients more effectively protect their people, projects and profitability.

Project specific analytics, as provided by customer
Integrated data from third-party technology (overall & project specific), as provided by customer
