# Spot for Supply Chain and Logistics Companies

Get quotes from supply chain and logistics insurance providers with Spot.

We get quotes that match the goods you hold and move, compare them with you and send certificates when a shipper asks.

- Custody, ownership and handlers recorded for each flow
- Cargo, property, auto and breakdown terms compared together
- Keep your broker or switch, with no commissions on premiums

[Get Started](https://app.spot.insure/signup?coverage=commercial-property&industry=supply-chain-and-logistics&icp=logistics). Spot is not an insurance carrier and takes no commissions on premiums; you can keep your broker or switch.

## How Spot helps

1. **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.
2. **Compare how quotes cover goods in transit.** Spot asks the same thing of every proposal brokers return: which form addresses goods in transit or in a carrier’s custody, and what valuation rules and exclusions apply.
3. **Check shipper contracts against your policies.** Forward a shipper agreement or warehouse contract. Spot compares its insurance clause with your policies and flags where they fall short.
4. **Get a certificate before freight moves.** Shippers and warehouse customers often want a certificate before they hand over freight. Message your Spot team in Slack and we’ll get it ready from your policies.

## Who 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.

## When to get this coverage

- **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.
- **Stock sits at a company-controlled site.** Schedule sites, stock, equipment and values, and note how customer-owned property is handled.
- **Tools and samples move between sites.** Inland marine terms depend on routes, handlers and loading and unloading periods.
- **A conveyor or refrigeration unit is critical.** Equipment breakdown depends on named equipment and causes. Ask about resulting income loss and extra expense.
- **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.

## Common questions

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.
