QUEBEC CITY, October 20, 2026 – Soplex Solutions d’assurances and Geosapiens are taking their collaboration to the next level. Soplex will further integrate climate risk intelligence into its underwriting operations by expanding its access to Geosapiens’ multi-peril models.
This will give Soplex’s teams a more complete and localized view of property exposure to fluvial, pluvial and coastal flooding, wildfire, hail and nine other extreme climate hazards, including wind, extreme precipitation and heat waves. Geosapiens’ models cover all of Canada and can be accessed through the Portal or integrated into internal systems via API and data delivery.
A modern, growing company
Soplex has grown rapidly, from 4 employees in 2020 to 45 in 2026. Plan B Solutions d’assurances, the firm founded by Patrick Bouchard, who himself made the move from brokerage to underwriting, merged with Soplex Inc. in July 2022 to become Soplex Solutions d’assurances. The company draws on its team’s expertise in standard, non-standard and specialty risks.
Backed by national Canadian insurers, Soplex now manages a combined volume of nearly $78 million in premiums, mostly in Quebec, serving both personal and commercial clients. The company has just begun expanding into Ontario and Atlantic Canada, the first step toward its goal of a national presence.
Modernizing underwriting in a changing climate
To support this growth, Soplex wants to give its underwriters modern tools that can assess multiple perils within a single view of risk. A more detailed understanding of climate exposure improves risk selection, underwriting and portfolio analysis.
By expanding its use of Geosapiens, Soplex will be able to draw on actionable scientific information to inform its decisions and support its growth in new markets.
With Geosapiens’ technologies, which combine climate modelling, artificial intelligence and advanced geospatial data analysis, Soplex will be able to improve the efficiency and profitability of its insurance operations while strengthening its risk management through:
Significant time savings by automating risk analysis and integrating seamlessly into existing underwriting systems;
Better risk selection with high-precision, locally calibrated data available at the building level;
More rigorous and consistent underwriting, reducing subjectivity in decision-making and improving portfolio quality;
Better control of risk accumulations and a more accurate view of portfolio exposure;
A lasting competitive advantage, supporting new product development, innovation and compliance with growing climate-related regulatory requirements.
“A natural next step in our growth”
“Our growth, the diversity of the risks we underwrite and our expanding territory call for ever more powerful tools. By expanding our use of Geosapiens’ models, we are giving our teams scientific and technological insight that helps them make informed decisions in a changing climate.” – Patrick Bouchard, Vice-President, National Strategy – MGA, and General Manager – Lead Underwriter, Soplex
Climate intelligence built to support growth
Geosapiens supports insurers as their portfolios, territories and needs evolve. Its multi-peril approach makes it possible to analyze a single property, its immediate surroundings or an entire portfolio anywhere in Canada. The Portal makes location-based analysis easy, while the APIs and data allow direct integration into clients’ processes and systems.
“Soplex is building climate risk intelligence into the way it underwrites and grows its portfolio. Our role is to make complex science concrete and actionable, and to support our clients as they grow, diversify and expand into new markets.” – Hachem Agili, CEO, Geosapiens
