Salary benchmarks
Our take
Today, close to 90% of cargo in transit is under or uninsured, in part because traditional insurance can't keep up with the in-time supply chain. As a result, many freight brokers, shippers and carriers are operating with high-risk exposure.
Loadsure delivers accurately-priced freight insurance in just 40 seconds, leveraging artificial intelligence and automation to provide pay-as-you-go, digital insurance for brokers, shippers, and carriers. Taking direct aim at the global underinsurance crisis, Loadsure is enabling insurance wholesalers and retailers to profitably service a larger market through scalable solutions.
Loadsure has gained capital through multiple funding rounds, in 2023 from Tokio Marine Klin, a specialist insurance firm. This will help Loadsure expand its capabilities and geographic outreach and enhance its growth strategy.
