Geography plays a critical role in commercial insurance pricing. Many insurance products use territories, counties, ZIP Codes, cities, protection classes, catastrophe zones, and other geographic factors to calculate premiums and determine underwriting eligibility. SelectRate Territory Management provides a centralized platform for configuring, maintaining, testing, and deploying territory-based rating rules across every commercial insurance product. Whether you're managing ISO territories, proprietary carrier territories, state-specific rating regions, or custom geographic models, SelectRate provides complete flexibility while maintaining enterprise governance.
Territory Management is the process of defining geographic rating regions and automatically assigning submissions to the correct territory during premium calculation.
