How Spot helps Supply Chain and Logistics Companies

Track who owns and handles the goods

Your Spot team writes up each shipment and lot: owner, custody, equipment, destination and the partners that could delay delivery, so brokers see where your responsibility starts and ends.

Compare how quotes cover goods in transit

How buying insurance works for Supply Chain and Logistics Companies

  1. 01

    Tell us about your business

    Share what you do, where you work, the policies you have and any contracts that ask for insurance.

    We write up your application

    Spot turns it into an application that describes your business the way insurers need to see it.

  3. 03

    We get quotes from insurers

    Spot handles the procurement, sending it to the insurers and markets that cover businesses like yours and chasing every quote.

  4. 04

    Compare your quotes

    We put the quotes side by side on limits, exclusions and terms as well as price.

  5. 05

    Buy your policy and get certificates

    You choose. Spot places the policy for you, and certificates are ready when a customer or landlord asks.

Supply Chain and Logistics Companies we help

  • Warehousing and fulfillment operators

    Inventory, forklifts and customer stock sit under your roof and need scheduling.

  • Freight brokers and arrangers

    You book carriers and warehouses, so you need to know when you’re responsible for the goods and which form, if any, addresses that.

  • Delivery and last-mile companies

    Your vehicles, drivers, routes and states shape the auto quote, and a last-mile policy may combine vehicle and cargo protection for the parcels you carry.

  • Supply chain software and coordination firms

    Suppliers, ports and warehouse partners can stop your deliveries, so ask how interruption terms treat each one.

Insurance Supply Chain and Logistics Companies usually carry

The policies companies like yours are usually asked for, and when each one comes up.

  • Commercial property

    Inventory, packaging, forklifts or other equipment is stored at a company-controlled site.

  • Tools, equipment and inland marine

    Tools, samples or business property move between warehouse, customer and operating sites.

  • Cargo and transit

    The company takes custody of customer goods or arranges shipment through carriers and warehouses.

  • Commercial auto

    The company owns vehicles or employees drive for delivery, pickup or facility operations.

  • Trucking

    Trucking coverage can address liability, damage to your trucks and cargo losses, but one quote may not include all three. If you haul goods for customers or yourself, compare those protections and check whether the quote needs motor-carrier or other commercial auto coverage.

  • Last-mile delivery

    Last-mile delivery insurance is not one standard policy: vehicle liability, vehicle damage and cargo protection can be separate. If your staff deliver orders in company, rented or personal vehicles, check each vehicle, cargo and worker-injury exposure in the quote.

  • Equipment breakdown

    A conveyor, refrigeration unit, forklift or other machine is critical to fulfillment.

  • Workers’ compensation

    You hire warehouse, delivery, dispatch or operations employees or add another work state.

When Supply Chain and Logistics Companies need insurance

  • 01

    You take custody of customer goods

    Responsibility for goods and insurance on them are different. Ask which form addresses goods in your or a carrier’s custody.

  • 02

    Stock sits at a company-controlled site

    Schedule sites, stock, equipment and values, and note how customer-owned property is handled.

  • 03

    Tools and samples move between sites

    Inland marine terms depend on routes, handlers and loading and unloading periods.

  • 04

    A conveyor or refrigeration unit is critical

    Equipment breakdown depends on named equipment and causes. Ask about resulting income loss and extra expense.

  • 05

    You own vehicles or employees drive for delivery

    Declare vehicles, drivers, routes and states. If you haul freight under your own operating authority, the quote becomes a trucking question with its own filing requirements.

Questions from Supply Chain and Logistics Companies

Also known as logistics insurance, logistics company insurance, third-party logistics insurance, freight forwarder insurance, freight broker insurance, warehouse insurance and warehousing insurance.

What insurance does a third-party logistics company need?

Warehouse legal liability for customer goods in your care, cargo for goods you move or arrange, property and equipment breakdown for your sites, plus auto and workers’ compensation. Spot records who owns and handles each shipment so brokers quote your real custody.

Does a supplier delay trigger business-interruption coverage?

A delay on its own may not meet the trigger. Some contingent business interruption forms require physical damage at the supplier’s property, so Spot asks insurers how each proposal would treat a named partner’s delay.

If we’re responsible for customer goods, are they insured?

No. A contract can make you responsible without any policy responding. Spot checks which form, if any, covers the goods you take custody of.

What do insurers need about our warehouses and freight?

Your sites with stock and equipment lists, how goods move and who handles them, your vehicles and drivers, and your customer and carrier agreements.

Our broker handles our cargo policy. Does that change with Spot?

No. Spot works alongside the broker who places your cargo and warehouse coverage, or helps you switch to one with more logistics markets, and takes no commission on any premium you pay.
