Yes, a customer can buy a standalone sensor themselves. But it does not offer the same protection as a full risk prevention solution.

A sensor bought off a shelf will alert a homeowner's phone. If they are asleep, travelling, or miss the notification, the sensor has done its job, and the damage still happens. A sensor on its own does not help if no one acts on the alert.

That is what a prevention service adds: a defined response path, agreed before launch, with a named party accountable for what happens after detection. How that is built varies by insurer and by market.

Some want their existing assistance and claims network used, because they already have one and it works. Others want us to bring a response partner. Some want the alert routed to their own contact center.

We design around that choice rather than against it. The sensor is tied to the insurance relationship rather than being one more subscription for the customer to manage.

We are happy to welcome four new interns to Onics! 👋

From left: Emil, Bertil, Nicolai and Martin.

As part of their studies, they have joined different teams within our development department, working with everything from product and hardware development to firmware and software.

During their internships, they will get hands-on experience, take on new challenges, and hopefully learn a lot along the way.

We are happy to have them on board and look forward to seeing what they get up to during their time at Onics.

A warm welcome to all four!

Even the best-designed prevention product will not sell itself at just any point in the relationship. Timing matters, and it looks different depending on who you are talking to. 🕛

For someone who has just renovated a kitchen or finished a basement, the trigger is disruption. They cannot afford weeks without a functioning home, so prevention reads as insurance against exactly that scenario.

For a recent buyer or upgrader, the trigger is financial logic dressed up as convenience. A premium discount tied to a sensor feels like a smart decision, not a sentimental one.

For owners of higher-value homes, the trigger is exposure. A larger potential loss means a larger appetite for a subscription with a real response behind it.

The moment to offer prevention is when the customer is already thinking about risk: a purchase, a renovation, a near-miss, a renewal.

One practical point that decides more programmes than the timing does: in markets where much of the book moves through tied agents and brokers, the intermediary needs a reason to raise it. Prevention products that carry no commission structure do not get mentioned, however good the proposition. That has to be designed in before launch, not discovered after three quiet months.

Is the timing right for you to offer a risk prevention solution? Get in touch with us to get the conversation started.

Prevention only earns its place if there are enough of the right customers to justify it. This number is a specific, identifiable slice of your book, not all of it.

The clearest signal is housing age.

In the EU, 75 percent of homes were built before 1990, with renovation rates near 1 percent a year. Older homes have hidden pipework and walls that make leaks harder to spot early, which is exactly the risk prevention addresses.

Escape of water alone accounts for 25 to 50 percent of all home insurance claims across Europe.

Within that pool, three groups fit best: high-asset-exposure families, digitally engaged owners of older homes, and premium-segment customers with the willingness to pay for service.

All three are identifiable from data you already hold: property age, home value, household composition.

Launching an IoT solution doesn't have to mean building everything from scratch.

With a white label solution, you can build on proven, deployment-ready technology and make it your own - from the devices and packaging to the application your customers use.

That means less development on your side and more time to focus on the solution you want to bring to market.

What if you could identify fall risks before they turn into incidents?

During a 12-week deployment in Australia, HalleyAssist® combined its AI-powered Home Risk Intelligence platform with Onics’ discreet and reliable wireless motion sensors.

The result: just one actual in-room fall, compared with nine expected falls.

Onics provided the privacy-preserving, real-time sensing layer behind the solution — delivering reliable in-room activity data without cameras or wearables. Combined with HalleyAssist®’s behavioural intelligence, this helped uncover hidden risk patterns and gave care teams the insights to act earlier.

Home insurance is commoditized. Customers often compare premiums purely based on price, and switching providers is fast and easy.

A strong margin today does not change that; it just means the environment currently favors you.

It says nothing about how many new customers you are winning, or how many existing ones are quietly comparing you to a competitor at renewal.

Prevention works on both fronts. Today’s insurance customers are expecting smart solutions, and having one gives you something to sell besides price. Insurers that bundle a connected home solution with insurance have seen significant sales growth compared with standard home insurance in the same segments.

This underlines the results of a Guidewire study, which found that 80% of European insurance customers are interested in technology that alerts them to potential damage before it occurs.

On retention, insurers report 10 to 20 percent lower churn once customers have embedded hardware and active monitoring in their home. Once someone feels genuinely looked after, switching for a cheaper premium stops feeling worth it.

Water leaks account for 25-30% of home insurance claims and are among the most expensive and frequent causes.

By using smart water detection sensors, leakages can be detected early, and damage can be avoided.

Insurance companies providing such a risk prevention solution can significantly cut their payouts, position themselves as a proactive insurance provider, and improve customer loyalty.

Onics offers P&C insurers a complete risk prevention solution for water leaks, fires, and burglary, and enables insurers to quickly launch a damage prevention solution.

Many insurers are looking for ways to reduce claims costs. But is claims reduction the only measure of return on investment?

Prevention solutions can create value in several ways:

✅ Reduced damage severity
✅ Improved customer engagement
✅ Increased retention
✅ Product differentiation

As insurers look for new ways to build customer relationships beyond renewals and claims, prevention is becoming an increasingly important strategy.

Claims reduction may be the long-term objective. However, meaningful claims savings often depend on customer adoption, engagement, and scale.

In the short term, prevention solutions can help insurers differentiate their offerings, strengthen customer relationships, and build engagement. Over time, this creates the foundation for long-term risk reduction and claims savings.

At Onics, we help insurers develop prevention solutions that support both short-term business goals and long-term risk reduction.
