Milwaukee, WI, November 30, 2005 – Officials from Zywave, Inc. and Specific Software Solutions announced today that the companies are partnering to enhance workers compensation mod analysis technology with an interface between RALLE® Warehouse and ModMaster version 4.0. Zywave’s RALLE® Warehouse—Risk Analysis Loss & Liability Examiner— is a Web-based system designed to identify loss drivers, help reduce claims and injuries, improve safety, and lower premiums. Specific Software’s ModMaster software is used to compute and analyze the workers’ compensation modification factor. 

“RALLE Warehouse uses an innovative online analytical process that allows agencies to view claims data in numerous ways and analyze claims experience by various factors to pinpoint issues. The interface with ModMaster allows brokers to leverage the workers’ compensation claims data captured in RALLE Warehouse to help clients fully understand their mod and the best ways to manage it, “said Dave O’Brien, Executive Vice President of Zywave.   

“Once a broker can identify problem areas through technology like ModMaster and RALLE Warehouse, they can perform a complete analysis and supply their clients with the best solutions to overcome high claim volume, and avoid similar instances in the future. The information they can cultivate is so complete, brokers can answer nearly any question from their client about claims data experience,” said O’Brien. “This provides an invaluable service for the client and a point of difference for the broker.”

Specific Software CEO Tim Coomer said, “ModMaster offers over thirty analytical reports that brokers may not always utilize due to the time it takes for input of optional claims data. With this interface, they no longer have to input claims or worry about getting them into a certain format for importing. With this streamlined process they have full claims data – including injury type, cause of loss, and more, propagated into ModMaster for a mod analysis.” The Ralle Warehouse/ModMaster interface is available now as a standard part of both companies’ product offerings.
