Arbol and Pollen Systems have partnered to bring to market a “first-of-its-kind” product that combines parametric insurance with multiple real-time data sources, addressing long-standing challenges in agricultural and climate risk coverage.
The initiative is strengthened by location intelligence leader Esri and Omniris, which provides the underlying geospatial data platform and AI-driven analytics.
By integrating satellite imagery, drone data, field observations, and historical records with parametric insurance, the product reportedly offers a streamlined solution designed to make managing climate-related agricultural risks faster, more accurate, and more accessible.
“By integrating Arbol’s AI-powered parametric insurance products with Pollen Systems’ agricultural intelligence and Omniris’ geospatial data infrastructure – built on Esri’s GIS technology – the partnership enables faster, more transparent risk assessment and claims resolution,” the firms explained in a joint statement.
Sid Jha, CEO of Arbol, commented, “Agricultural insurance has long been constrained by static data, delayed signals, and manual processes that don’t reflect how risk actually unfolds in the field.
“By partnering with Pollen, we’re creating a new standard for how climate risk is assessed, monitored, and resolved. This partnership brings real-time, location-aware insight directly into underwriting and claims, enabling faster decisions, greater transparency, and more resilient coverage for farmers and insurers alike.”
Keith McCall, CEO & Founder of Pollen Systems and Omniris, said, “This partnership represents a fundamental shift in how crop and climate risk insurance is designed and delivered. By combining Arbol’s parametric products with Pollen Systems’ field intelligence, we’re giving insurers and their customers a shared, trusted view of risk that persists over time.
“That continuity is what enables faster decisions, greater transparency, and insurance products that actually reflect what’s happening on the ground.”
