How DataHaven Is Delivering Measurable Impact For Carriers

Yandy Plasencia, founder and CEO of DataHaven, delivers a clear message from ITC Vegas 2025: carriers don’t need more tools; they need measurable, fast impact. DataHaven is an insurance intelligence platform that connects to core system and turns fragmented data into visibility on what drives financial performance, with an initial focus on loss ratio.

The entry point is a 30-day proof of value and as Yandy Plasencia says, the team verifies the carrier’s loss ratio and pinpoints the specific factors behind it, then “amplifies visibility” from the C-suite down. DataHaven’s aim is shared truth and faster action: leaders see the same drivers as frontline teams, so remediation plans and accountability line up. The typical levers include segment-level underwriting performance, distribution effectiveness, claims leakage, pricing adequacy, and process bottlenecks.

On AI, DataHaven is pragmatic: only solutions that change outcomes will last as if a tool isn’t improving combined ratio or the operational efficiency tied to it, it’s noise. Adding AI for its own sake doesn’t help unless it’s wired into workflows and key metrics, and can be traced to financial results people trust.

The biggest blocker isn’t algorithms; it’s data. Carriers sit on siloed, inconsistent datasets that downstream analytics, AI agents, and automations can’t easily consume. Plasencia argues that unifying and standardizing policy, claims, billing, and financial data is the prerequisite to any real AI adoption. DataHaven’s approach starts by solving ingestion and harmonization, ensuring quality and lineage, then layers intelligence that ties directly to loss and combined ratio.

Commercially, Plasencia pushes a results-first stance to counter “half-a-million-dollar” platforms that don’t move the needle: prove value in 30 days or don’t expect a long-term deal. The company has partnered with a large carrier and expects dozens more over the next year as the proposition, solid data foundation plus measurable financial lift, spreads.
