Allianz Turkiye Scales AI Risk Engineering with Nettle

Allianz Turkiye has selected the Nettle AI platform to power its commercial property risk engineering operations. 

The move follows a successful pilot programme that demonstrated a significant increase in operational efficiency – with the risk engineering team completing property inspections up to three times faster than previous benchmarks.

The deployment aims to solve a persistent friction point in the commercial property sector. Historically, risk engineers have been able to conduct site visits at a pace that the subsequent reporting process could not match.

This disparity often leads to administrative backlogs, leaving underwriters waiting for critical data and clients receiving risk guidance later than required.

Eliminating the reporting bottleneck

By using the Nettle mobile application, which operates natively in Turkish, Allianz Turkiye risk engineers utilise agentic AI during the preparation phase. During field visits, they capture data through photographs, documents and audio notes.

The platform then processes these inputs automatically to generate structured inspection reports, risk scores and specific underwriter guidance. 

This output is delivered on the same day as the site visit, removing the manual write-up phase that typically causes delays between field work and desk-based analysis.

Dr. Ceyhun Eren, Director of Allianz Teknik & Risk Engineering, Allianz Turkiye, comments: “When I first saw what was possible, my reaction was wow. Nettle is genuinely shaping the future of risk engineering. This is the future for the whole sector, not just Allianz Turkiye.”

A heritage of risk prevention

Ceyhun leads the risk engineering division at one of the largest multi-line insurers in the region. As part of the global Allianz Group, the Turkish operation manages a commercial property portfolio covering a diverse range of asset classes and risk profiles.

The Nettle platform is being rolled out across the entire operation. This ensures that, for the first time, underwriters will receive structured inputs from field inspections on the day they occur.

The decision to adopt this technology aligns with the insurer's history of risk prevention. The company established Allianz Teknik, which remains the only accredited earthquake and fire test and training centre in Turkiye. 

This infrastructure-led approach to risk has positioned the organisation as a pioneer rather than a follower in the local market.

Setting a new industry standard

For the technology provider, the partnership represents a validation of agentic AI within complex insurance workflows. 

The Nettle platform is designed to handle the full assessment lifecycle, from initial desktop submission through to final underwriting decisions.

Jack Miller, CEO and Co-Founder, Nettle, says: “Allianz Turkiye does not just adopt innovation, they build it. Their establishment of Allianz Teknik, Turkiye's first and only accredited earthquake and fire test and training centre, shows what it means to lead on risk prevention rather than follow. 

“That spirit is exactly why this partnership has been so significant. Ceyhun and his team came to this with the expertise and the conviction to shape what AI-powered risk engineering should look like, at precisely the moment the industry needed someone to go first.”

The commitment from Allianz Turkiye marks a substantial investment in AI-driven risk assessment within the Turkish market. 

By integrating these tools, the insurer is providing a clear signal regarding the evolution of field-based data capture and its integration into the underwriting chain. 

That the collaboration was driven by the team's ability to define the parameters of AI in a way that met the specific needs of high-stakes property risks.
