Leveraging Breeze’s advanced technology, freight forwarders can now significantly reduce policy costs and booking times, thereby enhancing their efficiency. Initially, Breeze’s integrated insurance offering on WebCargo will be available to forwarders in the United States and the United Kingdom.
Manuel Galindo, Chief Revenue Officer, Freightos said: “Forwarders rely on WebCargo to book hundreds of thousands of shipments every quarter. By partnering with companies like Breeze, we’re excited to add more services to our platform. This allows forwarders to focus on what matters most— customer relationships — rather than time-consuming pricing calls for services like insurance.”
Galindo continued: “Breeze’s data-driven platform uses technology and data to automate and optimise, not only quote generation, but also policy binding and claims processing. This technology reduces the time and effort needed to provide accurate cargo insurance to shipments it processes, and expands the protection provided to a shipper’s freight.”
Matthew Phillips, Chief Commercial Officer of Breeze also commented, saying: “Between 60 and 80% of global cargo is estimated to be un-or-under-insured. Our collaboration with Freightos empowers its customers to make informed decisions about insuring their cargo in a cost-effective and timely manner.”
He added: “We are on a mission to digitise the cargo insurance process and we share Freightos’ vision to make international shipping faster, more cost-effective, embedded, and more reliable using a data-driven approach powered by technology.”
