“Procore’s platform can help contractors avoid many costly losses and delays through effective risk management and cross-team collaboration,” said Lisa Morgan, President of Construction, Energy and Marine at Travelers. “This exclusive offering is one more example of how we’re always looking for innovative ways to help our customers manage risk.”
The Procore software is currently available at a 20% discount for eligible Travelers construction insurance customers in Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Carolina, Tennessee and Wisconsin.
“Having immediate visibility into a project and any potential job-site exposures provides greater accountability, awareness of worker safety and clarity when things go wrong,” said Danny Seigle, Vice President of Business Development and Marketplace at Procore. “We look forward to working with Travelers, a leading and highly respected construction insurer, to help the construction industry improve productivity, reduce losses and protect their companies.”

- In 2018, Travelers joined Gilbane and Triax Technologies to test the safety benefits of wearable devices for the construction industry.
