Cost Reduction
10x increase
Request Volume
❌ Challenge
Underwriting and risk management teams needed exposure distribution maps for different lines of business across countries. Manual ArcGIS workflow required 3-month advance requests to the modeling department. Updated maps needed multiple times per year, creating bottlenecks.
✅ Solution
Automated exposure distribution mapping using Python, GeoPandas, and Databricks. Migrated from File Geodatabase to GeoParquet. Built self-service interface allowing departments to request maps by country and line of business.
📊 Results
Departments now request maps with 1-day turnaround instead of 3 months. Modeling team freed from repetitive requests. Business units get fresh exposure analysis on-demand for strategic decisions. 10x increase in map requests handled with same team size.
