Breeze, a leading digital cargo insurance platform, has completed its integration with WebCargo by Freightos.
The partnership allows freight forwarders to instantly purchase insurance for shipments via Breeze directly through the WebCargo platform, according to an official release by WebCargo.
“Forwarders rely on WebCargo to book hundreds of thousands of shipments every quarter,” says Manuel Galindo, Chief Revenue Officer, Freightos. “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.”
Utilising 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, the release added.
“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.”
“Between 60 and 80 percent 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,” says Matthew Phillips, Chief Commercial Officer, Breeze.
“We are on a mission to digitise the cargo insurance process and we share Freightos’ vision to make international shipping faster, more costeffective, embedded, and more reliable using a data-driven approach powered by technology.”
