USE CASE:
Insurtech companies and the cost of change detection
Everything below is about one job: change detection for insurtech companies, done in a way that survives a list rather than a single lookup. Mamba Labs builds Apify actors, and Company Change-Event Feed is the one named below that covers insurtech companies.
The problem
Insurtech companies distort change detection, for a reason specific to them. Insurtech companies are brokers, carriers or software pretending to be one of the two, and the label rarely says which, which shapes change detection. What catches people out on insurtech companies, change detection included: a broker and a carrier look identical from the homepage and buy nothing alike. There is 1 runnable example of change detection for insurtech companies below.
Why anyone bothers
A company that moved on insurtech companies since March is a different conversation from one that has not, and a single point in time cannot tell them apart.
Traditional Search Tools
- The regulator's firm register, for insurtech companies. Free, and it separates the broker from the carrier in one lookup.
- Your CRM's field history. Salesforce tracks field changes and most people never look. It is free, it is already on, and it only knows about fields your own team edits.
- A warehouse snapshot table. If you have a data team, an append only snapshot answers this permanently and costs almost nothing to store.
- Keep last quarter's export. Export the fields you care about, keep the file, diff it against the next one. It works, and it takes ten minutes per quarter.
