Mobility SaaS Account Executive

Canopy Connect is the leading insurance infrastructure provider. Our 1-click solution enables businesses to instantly and securely receive comprehensive insurance information from a consumer or business. 

Companies use Canopy Connect to verify and track personal and commercial insurance. Fast. Directly from the source of truth. There are over a million businesses in the car rental, mobility, fleet, and gig economy industries that need to verify insurance. In addition, all delivery network companies and transportation network companies are now required by law to verify insurance on vehicles and operators.

Before we came along, there was no platform for exchanging verified insurance information. For this reason, insurance verification was costly, time-consuming and error-prone. Consumers and operators had to go through many steps. Calling, faxing, emailing to verify information from the insurance carrier. It is an incredibly important step because it mitigates losses from vehicles and operators with inadequate insurance. It also bolsters identity verification and mitigates fraud. Not properly verifying insurance is risky because it opens the business up to financial loss from vehicles and operators with inadequate insurance, legal issues and being held liable for accidents. 

It also kill deals and causes friction in onboarding. Manual verification causes frustration & delays because it's tedious for consumers and businesses. 

Companies buy the Canopy Connect platform so consumers and businesses can quickly and securely verify their insurance. It’s now three easy steps:

1. Policyholder connects their insurance carrier. Select the insurance carrier and sign in.

2. The insurance data is shared from the insurance carrier in seconds via a secure API connection. This includes verified policy information, vehicle data, driver information, claims history, and PDFs of declarations pages. 

3. The business can review and verify insurance policy details and coverage. Car rental companies also use this information to sell more Protection and Coverage products by showing how they provide additional protection on top of the current insurance policy.  

Canopy Connect’s technology can pull more than 250 data fields from the insurance carrier—we are able to securely retrieve rich data from 96% of the US auto insurance market. And we do it fast—5.6 seconds on average. The speed at which Canopy Connect can share insurance information is critical, because people are busy and time kills conversion. 

The result is faster converting onboarding and secure transactions that reduce the risk of inadequate insurance, fraud and compliance issues.
