Gamma Risk is proud to be part of the Gamma Group, alongside Gamma Labs. Together, we bring over 30 years of expertise in location intelligence, delivering innovative solutions that help organisations make smarter, data-driven decisions.
Gamma was founded in 1993 in Dublin as a GIS technology company with academic roots at Trinity College. At a time when GIS was just emerging, our small team of developers and consultants pioneered the use of geospatial analytics in the Irish private sector — creating early business applications for this transformative technology.
To solve the growing challenge of address matching and geocoding, we founded Autoaddress, our sister company. Its mission: make location data easier to use, accurate, and actionable.
We launched Perilfinder™, our property-level risk assessment platform for underwriters. It provides instant risk profiles for key perils such as flood, subsidence, windstorm, and fire — helping insurers make faster, smarter decisions.
Autoaddress became a core member of the consortium that designed Eircode, Ireland’s first property-level postcode and a first among OECD countries. The project commenced in April 2014 and was officially launched for public use in July 2015.
Autoaddress expanded its footprint by acquiring Data Ireland from An Post, adding a broader customer base and valuable datasets to its portfolio.
Gamma Risk entered the UK market, initially with the Perilfinder™ platform and Risk APIs. Over time, we introduced AddressLink™, offering detailed property-level characteristics through scalable APIs.
Gamma won the Analytics & AI Award from the Analytics Institute, highlighting our leadership in applied data science.
Also in 2021, we launched BERWOW, an energy retrofit education platform developed from a three-year EU-funded research project. The platform was adopted by major players like SSE and Bank of Ireland in 2021 and 2022, respectively.
o better reflect our evolving business, Gamma restructured into two core brands:
In 2022, we also entered the Spanish market, launching a localized version of Perilfinder™ for Spanish underwriters.
Autoaddress launched its global address matching solution, enabling API-based address verification and enrichment across 200+ countries.
In a major milestone, Gamma was acquired by KatRisk, a leading global provider of catastrophe risk modeling. The acquisition strengthens our capabilities in risk analytics, international reach, and accelerates our mission to power the next generation of geospatial risk solutions.
