How CompScience is Revolutionizing Workers’ Comp: Insights from Josh Butler on the InsurTech Geek Podcast
At CompScience, we’re driven by a mission to make workplaces safer and insurance smarter. Recently, our founder and CEO, Josh Butler, had the incredible opportunity to share our story and vision on the InsurTech Geek Podcast.
In this episode, Josh explores the cutting-edge ways CompScience is leveraging AI, computer vision, and data science to transform the workers’ compensation industry. Here’s a glimpse into what makes this conversation a must-listen for brokers, safety professionals, and industry leaders alike.
The Power of Predicting Risks
Josh discusses how traditional workers’ comp insurance models focus on managing claims after an incident occurs. CompScience flips this approach by using AI-powered safety analytics to identify risks before they lead to accidents. By analyzing workplace footage and identifying potential hazards, we help employers create safer environments and reduce claims.
“We’re not just about lowering costs; we’re about changing the paradigm,” Josh shares in the podcast.
How AI and Computer Vision Drive Results
One of the standout points in the podcast is how CompScience’s proprietary technology uses existing security camera footage to:
- Identify hazards like slip-and-fall risks or unsafe equipment use.
- Confirm that proper safety controls, such as PPE, are in place.
- Deliver actionable insights that help reduce incidents and improve workplace safety.
Josh explains how this approach has led to measurable success for clients across industries—from manufacturing and logistics to restaurants and retail.
Empowering Brokers and Employers
A key takeaway from the episode is how CompScience enables brokers to offer unparalleled value to their clients. By bundling AI-driven safety insights with workers’ comp insurance, brokers can:
- Improve client relationships.
- Increase win rates with competitive quotes.
- Make renewals easier and more seamless.
Josh emphasizes how this unique value proposition positions brokers as trusted advisors while helping employers achieve both safety and financial goals.
Why You Should Tune In
Whether you’re a broker looking to stand out in a competitive market or a safety professional striving for a safer workplace, this podcast episode offers valuable insights into the future of workers’ comp insurance.
Josh’s conversation on the InsurTech Geek Podcast highlights how innovation and technology can reshape industries, drive better outcomes, and improve lives.
