Management tools to stay on top of Repetitive Loss properties.

Digital documentation for easier administration.

Forerunner helps you manage documentation like Elevation Certificates, property photos, and letters. All the documents you need to analyze a property’s flood risk are packaged together in a profile. You can also make certain documents public to educate and empower residents.

Automated Elevation Certificate checks to save time and help to ensure floodplain compliance.

Our Elevation Certificate (EC) Error Detection runs hundreds of validation checks on ECs, so you don’t have to. We identify potential clerical, compliance, and elevation issues that need to be addressed, so that you can ensure that development is compliant to both NFIP and local standards.

Easy data exporting for streamlined CAVs.

Forerunner makes it easy to compile data for Community Assistance Visits (CAVs). You can use our data management and exporting tools to demonstrate compliance efficiently.

Autogenerate letters saving time and effort.

With Forerunner, users can generate templated letters for residents, including RLAA Property Notification Letters, Substantial Damage Determination Letters, Floodzone Determination Letters, and more. Your document templates are saved in Forerunner and automatically populated with specific property information.

Mobile app for Forerunner access while out in the field.

Forerunner's app enables your team to upload crucial information while performing inspections. The data collected using the app in the field automatically syncs to the desktop version at your office, improving collaboration and saving time. Offline mode also supports usage in low or no-service areas, which is particularly helpful post-disaster.
