MDI Targets Construction Defect Claims with New Financial Litigation Solution

Fort Lauderdale, FL – November 10, 2025 – Management Data Inc. (MDI), a long-standing provider of core system solutions for the insurance and risk management industries, has announced the launch of Control360, a new platform specifically designed to streamline financial litigation in construction defect claims. The launch marks a strategic expansion for MDI into the construction industry, targeting a notoriously complex and costly area of legal dispute.

Construction defect litigation is characterized by multiple parties, intricate contracts, varying state laws, and numerous insurance policies, leading to protracted legal battles and significant financial burdens. According to industry experts, these cases are often “wildly complicated” and can take years to resolve. Control360 aims to mitigate these challenges by automating cost-sharing allocations, providing real-time financial data access, and eliminating manual processes – a long-identified pain point for carriers and defense firms.

Addressing a Critical Industry Need

The newly launched platform builds upon MDI’s existing RiskSuite360, which includes solutions for COI compliance, claims management, and recovery audits. However, Control360 differentiates itself through a hyper-focus on the unique financial complexities inherent in construction defect claims.

“The existing landscape for managing these types of claims relies heavily on manual processes – spreadsheets, endless email chains, and painstaking reconciliation,” explains Ina Fossa, Control360 Product Lead. “Control360 is designed to automate those tasks, providing a single source of truth for all financial data and drastically reducing the administrative burden.”

According to industry sources, the sheer volume of documentation, site inspections, and insurance policy parsing involved in construction defect litigation makes cost allocation a particularly time-consuming and error-prone process. Control360 aims to address this by providing a centralized platform for managing all expenses and automatically calculating each carrier’s share.

Acquisition & Strategic Alignment

The launch of Control360 is rooted in MDI’s recent acquisition of the Vendor Cost Control (VCC) software from JDi Data, a Florida-based technology provider specializing in solutions for the insurance and legal communities. While details surrounding the transaction remain confidential, sources suggest the acquisition was a strategic move to expand MDI’s capabilities in the construction risk management space.

“The decision to acquire the VCC software was a natural fit for our long-term vision,” says Awais Shaikh, CEO of MDI. “We recognized a significant opportunity to apply our expertise in insurance technology to address the unique challenges faced by carriers and defense firms in the construction defect litigation arena.”

Beyond Automation: Transparency and Accuracy

While automation is a key feature of Control360, industry experts emphasize that transparency and accuracy are equally important. “The biggest challenge in these cases is often simply knowing where the money is going,” says one anonymous legal consultant specializing in construction litigation. “A platform that provides real-time visibility into all expenses and allocations can be a game-changer.”

Control360 offers a user-friendly dashboard that provides a comprehensive overview of all financial data, including expenses, allocations, and payments. Users can drill down into specific transactions to view detailed information and track the status of each payment. The platform also generates comprehensive reports that can be used to analyze expenses, identify trends, and improve cost control.

Industry Reaction & Future Outlook

Early reactions to the launch of Control360 have been positive. “The promise of automating cost-sharing and providing real-time financial data is certainly appealing,” says another anonymous insurance executive. “We’re eager to see how this platform can help us streamline our claims process and reduce our administrative costs.”

While Control360 is a relatively new product, MDI has a long track record of providing innovative solutions to the insurance industry. The company’s existing RiskSuite360 platform is used by over 200 clients and has processed over 50,000 claims.

MDI’s expansion into the construction industry reflects a broader trend towards the adoption of technology in this traditionally fragmented market. As construction projects become increasingly complex and litigious, the need for sophisticated risk management solutions will only continue to grow.

Looking ahead, MDI plans to continue investing in the development of Control360, adding new features and functionalities to meet the evolving needs of its clients. The company also hopes to expand its presence in the construction industry, partnering with leading contractors, insurance carriers, and law firms to deliver comprehensive risk management solutions.

“We believe that Control360 has the potential to transform the way construction defect claims are managed,” concludes Shaikh. “By automating key processes, improving transparency, and reducing costs, we can help our clients resolve disputes more efficiently and protect their bottom line.”
