The company operates an API-first platform that integrates insurance directly into logistics and fulfilment software, enabling automated coverage, claims, and invoice verification without manual intervention.
The MGA writes courier-agnostic goods-in-transit coverage up to full item value, backed by capacity from Arch Insurance, Liberty Mutual, and Tokio Marine HCC.

Distribution is API-led, targeting software platforms that serve shippers. Pre-built integrations are available for Shopify, EKM, Patchworks, Despatch Cloud, Mintsoft, and Deposco. The platform also automates invoice verification to catch billing errors in shipping charges, and provides risk analytics covering courier performance and delivery SLA metrics.
