Marshall & Swift/Boeckh Taps Pathlore to Train Industry

Pathlore Software Corporation, a provider of learning-management systems (LMS), announced that Wisconsin-based Marshall & Swift/Boeckh (MS/B) will use Pathlore’s LMS to bring training to claims adjusters, insurance agents, underwriters, and contractors across the United States.

Using Pathlore’s product, MS/B will deliver training via the Internet to customers who buy the Wisconsin firm’s Residential Component Technology(TM) (RCT), software that helps agents and underwriters calculate the value of homes. MS/B’s customers will be able to launch Pathlore’s LMS from any desktop computer.

MS/B is a provider in the insurance industry with residential and commercial building-cost data and estimating technologies. MS/B counts over 100,000 individual users, including claims adjusters, underwriters, inspectors, and agents. And, the Wisconsin company licenses its data and software to approximately 700 insurance firms including many of the largest homeowner’s insurance carriers in the United States.

Pathlore’s LMS will report on what insurance industry professionals learn. For example, when an MS/B customer passes a course, the LMS records a score and generates a certification to prove the fact. In this way, people managing the RCT users know if their employees understand how to use the product’s features.

MS/B can also give its customers the chance to access the RCT training over the span of several months, so customers can brush up on their know-how of the RCT as needed.
