DoiT transforms Opterrix's insurance analytics platform with generative AI

June 2025

How Opterrix partnered with DoiT to deliver near-instant hailstorm analysis and cut feature delivery times by half.

60x: Faster hail event comparison
50%: Acceleration in feature delivery time
4: Months saved through rapid prototyping

“We knew generative AI could be game-changing, but we didn't even have the internal capacity to begin exploring it. Within the first few sessions, DoiT had us zeroed in on a real use case. They didn't just help us build the model – they helped us understand it. Within weeks, we had a working prototype that replaced 10 hours of manual effort with a system that delivered results in seconds. That kind of acceleration is rare, but it's exactly what we needed.”
Niels Jorgensen
VP of Engineering, Opterrix

The Challenge

Severe weather is becoming both more frequent and more intense, placing enormous pressure on insurers to assess and respond quickly. Hailstorms pose a unique challenge – they are localized, destructive, and unpredictable. Engineers were consuming up to 10 engineering hours per case manually digging through data to find matches – a slow, error-prone process that couldn't scale. Opterrix's lean team lacked the internal bandwidth, production architecture expertise, and implementation playbook to move quickly with GenAI.

The Solution

Opterrix engaged DoiT as a strategic partner to bring generative AI into production. DoiT helped develop a solution that utilized GenAI to analyze images of hailstones and storm metadata, identifying similar historical events based on geospatial proximity and storm patterns. Leveraging Vertex AI and multimodal embeddings, the system transforms storm imagery and sensor data into searchable, vectorized intelligence in seconds. DoiT also optimized Opterrix's Google Cloud environment for performance and cost, implementing usage-based guardrails and introducing DoiT Cloud Intelligence.

Results

Replaced 10-hour manual process with automated solution delivering results in under 10 seconds
Compressed R&D cycles by 50% and increased delivery confidence
Improved unit economics while preserving performance and uptime through cloud infrastructure optimization
Elevated internal team capabilities with hands-on GenAI experience and governance frameworks

Meet Opterrix

Opterrix is a cloud-native geospatial analytics platform built specifically for the insurance industry. The company integrates proprietary weather data, natural hazard peril scores, and predictive machine learning to help insurers optimize underwriting, respond to disasters, and manage risk in real-time. With a vision to modernize and accelerate the insurance value chain, particularly in personal and commercial lines, Opterrix delivers mission-critical tools that empower underwriters and analysts to make smarter, faster decisions.

A consultative partnership built for agility

From the outset, DoiT approached the engagement not as a vendor, but as a strategic extension of Opterrix's team. The accelerator program – designed to bring projects to life in a structured but flexible way – provided the perfect framework. Early discovery sessions focused on understanding Opterrix's architecture, constraints, and goals in detail. DoiT didn't try to apply a one-size-fits-all model, they customized everything to Opterrix's business and platform – from the first workshop to the final deliverable.

From manual matching to machine intelligence

Previously, Opterrix engineers had to manually compare data and imagery from past hail events – a slow, inconsistent process and highly dependent on individual expertise. DoiT helped Opterrix develop a solution that utilized GenAI to analyze images of hailstones and storm metadata, identifying similar historical events based on geospatial proximity and storm patterns. Leveraging Vertex AI and multimodal embeddings, the system understands visual and contextual features, transforming storm imagery and sensor data into searchable, vectorized intelligence in seconds.

From 10 hours to 10 seconds

The AI-powered hailstorm matching module replaced a labor-intensive, 10-hour process with an automated solution that delivers results in under 10 seconds, freeing significant engineering hours and accelerating insurer response. This leap in efficiency now allows Opterrix to respond faster to weather events, giving insurers near real-time intelligence to expedite claims processing, mobilize resources and reduce losses. By offloading the architectural design, model implementation, and infrastructure optimization to DoiT, Opterrix compressed R&D cycles by 50% and increased delivery confidence.

Empowered teams and future-ready tech

Beyond technical deliverables, the project elevated Opterrix's internal capabilities. Engineers gained hands-on experience with generative AI, understood how to integrate it into production systems and learned how to maintain governance in a regulated environment. The AI module is now a cornerstone capability for Opterrix and a launchpad for further innovation. But even more importantly, the team is now equipped to extend that innovation independently. This wasn't just about shipping a model, it was about transferring the skills, mindset and infrastructure needed to embed AI across their platform.

Story overview

What they say

DoiT was a true partner, not a vendor. They helped us understand the problem, refine the vision, and build something production-ready far faster than we could have on our own. Their expertise, responsiveness, and commitment made all the difference.

Dr. Anish Kapur, Founder & CEO, Promptly

DoiT's Customer Success and Forward Deployed Engineering teams work very closely with us. The regular sessions with our CSM keep us focused on the right priorities, and the FDEs provide the deep technical guidance we need to validate decisions and optimize our environment. That combination has been genuinely valuable for us.

Alexander Lundberg Santos, Platform Engineer at Extenda Retail

When we started working with DoiT, we deployed Flexsave to save time and reduce complexity. We still use it today. But what really stands out is the expert support. Having someone to collaborate with on deep cloud cost topics, someone who really understands the nuances, is incredibly valuable.

Jesper Terkelsen, CTO at Monta

DoiT's Cloud Accelerator turned our AI idea into a shipped product, saving at least three months of development and delivering reliable, explainable insights our customers trust.
