Revenue model

1. Erfolgsbasierte Vergütung (Success-Based Compensation): Peritos operates on a success-based fee model where their compensation is tied to the compensation outcome achieved for the policyholder. Their fees are part of the insurance compensation payment itself, meaning they only get paid when the client receives their contractual entitlement. This model aligns Peritos' interests with those of the policyholder.

Core offering

Peritos GmbH provides active insurance claims management (Schadenmanagement) and preventive damage audits (Schaden-Audits) exclusively for insurance policyholders and their brokers, never for insurers. Its in-house team of technical experts (Sachverständige) and specialist insurance lawyers (Fachanwälte) handles damage assessment, documentation, and negotiation to ensure clients receive their contractually entitled compensation.

Product overview

Peritos GmbH operates as a specialized insurance claims management service provider rather than a software product company. Their core offering is Schadenmanagement — active claims management exclusively for policyholders and their brokers. They provide preventive Schaden-Audits to prepare clients for future claims, supported by an educational platform including the Schadenpraxis blog/podcast and journal publications. They also offer targeted webinars on specific topics like water damage claims. All services are delivered by an internal team of technical experts and insurance law specialists, with a success-based fee structure where compensation is tied to the payout sum.

Broad incumbents

• Sedgwick: Major global claims management, loss adjusting, and managed-care services provider. Comparable to Peritos in core service line (independent claims handling for insured-side and corporate clients) though much broader in scope across P&C, liability, and benefits claims.
• Aon: Global insurance brokerage and advisory firm offering claims management and advocacy services. Overlaps with Peritos's broker-to-policyholder support flow, though Aon is far broader and serves insurers and corporates across many lines.
• Marsh (Marsh McLennan): Global insurance broker and risk advisor with dedicated claims advocacy and major-loss support services for corporate clients. Comparable to Peritos at the broker-channel interface and on complex-claims advisory, but operating at vastly greater scale and across many lines.
• Crawford & Company: Global independent claims management and loss-adjusting firm. Significantly larger and more diversified than Peritos but operates in the same core activity — representing insured parties and managing complex property and BI claims — and is the most internationally recognized comp for Peritos's claims-management business model.

Direct peers

• Davies Group: UK-headquartered claims solutions and insurance services firm providing loss adjusting, claims management, and related services to insurers, brokers, and corporate clients. Closest analog to Peritos in terms of service mix (specialist claims management) and target customers (insureds and brokers), though larger and more international.
• Charles Taylor Adjusting: Independent global loss-adjusting and claims services provider focused on complex, high-value losses for insurers, brokers, and corporate insureds. Closely comparable to Peritos in the niche of specialist claims management for major losses, including property and BI.
• McLarens: Global independent loss-adjusting and claims-management firm serving insurers, brokers, and corporates on complex property, BI, and casualty claims. Directly comparable service line to Peritos's Schadenmanagement, with similar high-touch, expert-led delivery on major losses.

Emerging players

• QuestPro Consultants LP: Specialist insurance and claims consultancy providing expert claims-management support and complex-loss advisory services. Comparable niche to Peritos — high-touch expert advocacy on insured-side property and casualty claims — but at a smaller scale.
• Woodruff Sawyer: US commercial insurance brokerage with deep expertise in claims advocacy and complex-loss support for mid-market and enterprise clients. Comparable to Peritos in its emphasis on representing insured-side interests against carrier adjusters, though operating in a different geography and at different scale.

Regional players

• VdS Schadenverhütung GmbH: German loss-prevention and risk-engineering organization serving insurers and corporate insureds on fire, water, and storm risk. Adjacent to Peritos rather than directly competitive: VdS focuses on prevention and standards, while Peritos focuses on claims advocacy — but both sit in the same German property-damage ecosystem and share target audiences.
