The company provides a suite of address verification, geocoding, and property data APIs that allow enterprises to validate addresses in real time, identify precise rooftop-level coordinates, and access over 350 property attributes for risk assessment and catastrophe modeling. Smarty is self-funded and profitable, processing billions of address lookups per day and trillions per year across 240+ countries and territories with no reported downtime. In the insurance market, Smarty serves P&C carriers and agencies that need accurate, standardized address data for policy underwriting, FNOL intake, claims processing, and catastrophe modeling. The company integrates directly with major insurance platforms including Guidewire PolicyCenter and InsuranceNow, and Sapiens, making its address intelligence available within existing insurer workflows without requiring custom development. Notable enterprise customers include Microsoft, Netflix, and NASA, with the insurer segment growing through platform marketplace distribution. Smarty's July 2025 launch of US Property Risk Data extended the platform's relevance to insurance, transforming FEMA's National Risk Index into structured, address-level hazard intelligence covering flood, fire, and other perils. This product enables insurers to assess location risk at the point of address entry during policy origination, supporting faster and more accurate underwriting decisions. ## Products & services ### US Address Verification API Core product that validates, standardizes, and enriches over 210 million US addresses in real time.
