Novara and Arch Insurance Announce Alliance to Strengthen Client Safety Programs
WESTMINSTER, CO — [September 9, 2026]—Novara and Arch Insurance North America (Arch Insurance) today announced an alliance connecting Arch clients with Novara Flex, a leading safety and operational risk management platform that centralizes incident management, training, audits, corrective actions, and reporting in a single system.
Flex gives safety teams real-time visibility into operational risk, consistent processes across sites, and the data needed to act before incidents occur.
Many safety programs still run on disconnected systems, manual processes, and incomplete records. These gaps make it hard for safety leaders to spot trends, address hazards consistently, and verify that corrective actions are closed. When information is scattered, risk goes undetected.
Flex puts incident management, audits and inspections, corrective actions, training, risk management, and configurable workflows in one place. Its mobile app allows frontline workers to report issues, complete inspections, and access safety information directly from the field, even when offline.
Insurance carriers see firsthand where safety programs succeed and where they fall short. That perspective shapes this partnership.
“Insurance carriers have a unique view into the risks businesses face,” said Rob Stansbury, Vice President of Partnerships at Novara. “Through this alliance with Arch Insurance, more organizations will have access to technology that turns safety information into meaningful action. Flex gives safety teams the infrastructure they need to identify trends, engage employees, document progress, and address risk before it becomes an incident.”
“Our clients need practical tools that strengthen their risk management programs and support safer operations across their teams,” said Greg Stefan, SVP Risk Control at Arch Insurance. “Novara Flex gives clients a configurable, proven platform to move from reactive incident response to early risk detection—and that’s a meaningful shift.”
This partnership brings together Arch’s risk expertise and client relationships with Novara’s configurable safety technology. Together, they give organizations a more consistent framework for managing safety and clearer visibility into where risk is building before it surfaces as an incident.
