(Alliance News) - Ondo InsurTech PLC on Monday announced further advancements to the expansion of its US operations.

The London-based claims prevention technology firm for home insurers is in partnership with seventeen insurance carriers, including Admiral Group PLC.

Ondo's patented LeakBot self-install solution connects to homes using wireless networks to detect leaks.

If detected, customers are notified using a mobile app and given access to engineers to resolve the problem.

Both Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co and Privilege Underwriters Reciprocal Exchange, under the name Pure, have expanded their LeakBot programmes into Washington state where Ondo has an existing engineer support structure.

In addition, on Monday last week, Wendi Leibovitz assumed the new role of director of customer success in North America.

Leibovitz, who is a licenced insurance agent, joins the company from SimpliSafe Ltd, where she ran embedded partnerships for the smart home security company.

Chief Executive Officer Craig Foster said: "The customer success role is a key hire for Ondo, and we could not have found someone more ideally suited than Wendi with her expertise, experience and industry-specific knowledge.

"I am also encouraged to see both Pure and Nationwide expanding with us into a second state, supporting our strategy to roll out each partnership on a carefully managed state-by-state basis."

Ondo InsurTech also is rolling out LeakBot in the UK.

Last week, it said personal lines insurer Ageas UK will offer LeakBot to Ageas employees and customers of the Ageas-owned Rias brand, under a 12-month trial.

Ondo shares were up 3.2% to 14.60 pence each in London on Monday morning.
