#News(General) [ via IoTForIndiaGroup ]
That forced us to think narrowly. What industry bought a lot of insurance for a significant risk that could be predicted by data from sensors? We eventually found our way to the market leader for temperature sensors for food and pharmaceutical goods – the major cause of loss for goods in transit for these companies was spoilage. And they measured the temperature of the goods frequently, not for insurance purposes but for regulatory reasons. Finally, time to roll up the sleeves.
In April of this year, we launched Smart Cargo Insurance™ coverage to insurance agents and brokers and their clients in the Food and Pharmaceutical industries. We are quoting and binding business. While it is too early to declare victory, we achieved a small milestone for the insurance industry. The first commercial IoT-based Insurance policy.
We don’t stop there, however, since we use ongoing data from the IoT sensors to inform us about trends for our insureds, providing them with Dynamic Loss Prevention™ reports that can help prevent a claim. And we use minute by minute shipment data to enhance our subrogation rights, allowing us to reduce cost for us and the policyholder.
