Overhaul Introduces Tech-Embedded Insurance Offering to Dramatically Reduce Total Cost of Risk

The Shipper's Interest Insurance Program will improve supply chain performance for global shippers.

AUSTIN, Texas (October 4, 2022) — Overhaul, a software-based, supply-chain visibility, risk, compliance and insurance solution for the world's leading brands, has unveiled an innovative insurance offering for the modern supply chain. Leveraging the company’s industry-leading Risk Technology platform and proven results reducing risk exposures, Overhaul’s Shipper’s Interest Insurance Program is designed to help middle-market shippers significantly reduce losses while improving their overall supply chain performance.

Offered exclusively to users of Overhaul’s risk management solution, the Shipper’s Interest Insurance Program merges Overhaul’s years of experience addressing visibility, risk and compliance with a premium insurance solution to give customers a unified view of their logistics ecosystem. By spotting non-conformances and helping manage exceptions in real-time, Overhaul gives shippers the power to react to events as they happen, rather than after a loss. Now, even when losses do occur, Overhaul’s high-quality data and expert team helps customers close their claim quickly, lowering the costs for all involved.


“Traditional underwriting doesn’t account for tech solutions that can lower risk,” said Barry Conlon, Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Overhaul. “The Shipper’s Interest Insurance Program modernizes that antiquated process to reduce a shipper’s total cost of ownership by leveraging our risk-mitigating solutions.”

Offered through Overhaul Risk Advisory Services and written on A.M. Best A-rated paper, the cargo insurance program covers the shipper's lawful goods while "in transit" as defined by the policy, from the point of origin until accepted at its intended destination. The program also applies to logistics service providers that are contractually obligated to carry shipper’s interest on behalf of their shipper customers. Among the covered losses, shippers could gain protection against product damage, product spoilage and product theft. Key benefits shippers receive:

• Reduced total cost of risk
• Highly competitive premiums
• Broad, flexible coverage
• Integrated, active loss prevention
• Risk management process improvements
• Streamlined claims notice and investigation

In the last 12 months, Overhaul has overseen 2.3 million active shipments and tracked more than $588 billion in total cargo. With a first-hand view into these shipments, Overhaul has secured $226 million in goods through real-time interventions associated with at-risk shipments and has an estimated 80% loss ratio reduction rate.

“We are fusing active risk management with financial risk transfer so that our customers and partners alike can truly realize the full benefits of reducing total cost of risk,” said David Braunstein, Executive Vice President of Insurtech at Overhaul. “With our Shipper’s Interest Insurance Program, Overhaul will not only bring truth and clarity to risk and pricing decisions, but also deliver proactive risk management when real-world intervention is needed.”

The cargo insurance offering is currently available with Overhaul customers eligible to receive a quote and Overhaul plans to offer additional insurance solutions coming to market in 2023. Learn more at https://over-haul.com/platform/insurance/.

New Horizon Releases Innovative Functionality for Optimizing Inbound Logistics Scheduling at DCs

ACTON, Massachusetts – September 3, 2024 – New Horizon Soft, LLC, a global leader in AI-powered supply chain planning software, announced today the release of a new version of its Buyers Workbench procurement planning software. The latest version includes the ability to optimally schedule inbound deliveries, taking into account distribution center (DC) receiving capacity, thus minimizing receiving bottlenecks and lowering inbound logistics costs. A research paper describing the innovative methodology and its deployment at an iconic $10B+ U.S. quick-service restaurant chain was recently published in the peer-reviewed academic journal, the International Journal of Operations Research and Information Systems.

Supply chain organizations typically plan purchase orders without regard to DC receiving capacity. This leads to bottlenecks on some days and underutilized staff on others. New Horizon’s methodology, called Master Purchasing Receipt Scheduling (MPRS), uses a novel algorithm to automatically and optimally schedule deliveries. The algorithm plans deliveries at the time of purchase order creation and results in a steady volume of deliveries and lower planning and logistics costs. While first deployed at a restaurant chain, the methodology is applicable to any manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or foodservice company operating high-velocity DCs.
