In our Transportation Tuesday series, we’re partnering with industry leaders to share tips on how you can improve your business success and growth. This week’s tip is brought to you by Loadsure.
Crates of wine. Chilled berries. A backhoe. Profitable loads are out there for the taking. The problem: On a per-load basis, it can be really hard to find the insurance coverage that shippers require for their commonly excluded commodities—and it’s often expensive and quite slow to secure when you do.
At the end of the day, this obstacle restricts your ability to seize these profitable opportunities.
As anyone in insurance will tell you, there’s no such thing as bad risk, only bad terms and conditions. Unfortunately, traditional approaches to per-load coverage for specialty commodities—unaided by AI, automation and visibility into vast quantities of data—have long been considered too risky and not worth the hassle to underwrite.
Today, things are different.
Smart cargo insurance platforms can instantaneously assess any load and deliver the dynamic pricing and products to match. And, because these platforms eliminate the need for human underwriting, they can deliver instant quotes and reduce the cost of premiums.
This evolution in insurance is opening paths to opportunity that were once closed to many small businesses.
Now, it’s not just the enterprises that can chase this business. With the ability to instantly add coverage for specialty loads, smaller freight brokers and carriers are positioned to seize lucrative spot market opportunities, growing their customer bases.
Protect commonly excluded commodities on the fly.
Loadsure’s smart cargo insurance platform delivers instant quotes and up to $2M in per-load, all-risk coverage in 40 seconds or less—even for hard-to-cover commodities. And, if something does go wrong, Loadsure makes submitting cargo claims a breeze, enabling you to file claims in minutes and settle claims in days, even minutes.
