ATLANTA, June 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- LexisNexis^® Risk Solutions, part of RELX, today announced it has acquired Flyreel, a Denver-based property insurtech that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to enable self-service property inspections, which provide additional visibility into a property's interior and exterior to improve and automate new business and renewal underwriting and claims processes.
