Overview
Mapizy is a geospatial data and analytics provider for property insurance carriers, applying computer vision and deep learning to aerial and satellite imagery to extract property attributes and risk signals. Founded by Dr Mehdi Ravanbakhsh, a computer vision researcher from the University of Western Australia, the company automates the generation of geospatial insights to help insurers assess property risk at scale.
The core platform processes HD aerial imagery -- covering 80% of the Australian urban environment at 5cm resolution updated every three months -- to identify property features such as pools, solar panels, roof conditions, and structural characteristics. Products are delivered via a web-based studio interface and a cloud REST API that connects to insurance quoting and policy administration systems for automated underwriting and policy adjustment workflows.
Mapizy serves P&C carriers and related real estate and government sectors across Australia and Southeast Asia. Customers include IAG (Insurance Australia Group) and RAA (Royal Automobile Association). The company has received support through several Australian government programs including the BRII and Access Asia grants, CSIRO ON Prime, and CORE Innovation Hub.
