Thames™
Dynamic, On-Demand Cargo Insurance

The just-in-time supply chain moves too fast for traditional insurance processes, leaving insurance brokers without the resources to sustainably serve their freight clients, while expensive annualized policies discourage businesses from insuring their cargo altogether.

Conventional cargo insurance policies rarely offer the flexibility needed by the freight community, so many shipments simply go uninsured.

These issues fuel the global underinsurance crisis, leaving the freight community exposed to unnecessary risks.

Thames is here to change that.

Thames™ (Dynamic, On-Demand Cargo Insurance) is a revolutionary all-risk cover available on an affordable per-load basis — no annualized policy necessary.

For insurance brokers, Thames™ enables you to profitably serve your SMB clients with accurately priced policies in seconds.

For the freight community, Thames™ enables you to protect your business from risk with affordable coverage, in an instant.

How does it work?

Loadsure’s dynamic pricing model uses a data-driven algorithm to deliver hyper-accurate pricing in under a minute. Shipments that previously took hours or days to process can now be quoted instantly.

Thames™ transforms insurance broker’s workloads, enabling them to issue far more policies in less time, which gives them more bandwidth to prioritize complex cases.

It also saves supply chain businesses waiting around for a quote, or overpaying for their coverage. They’ll have quick access to an insurance certificate that’s precisely configured for their shipment.

Access Thames™ through Loadsure’s intuitive software platform service, via online portal or directly integrated into your digital workflows, with no download required.

IMPORTANT RISK WARNING: Insurance products are subject to certain risks and uncertainties. While insurance is designed to provide coverage for various losses and liabilities, it is important to understand that it may not cover all potential risks or losses. The effectiveness of an insurance policy depends on the specific terms and conditions, exclusions, and limits of the policy. It is essential to read and understand the policy documentation before purchasing insurance. If you have any questions or uncertainties, please consult with a professional advisor. Remember, the purpose of insurance is to provide protection against potential future losses, and it is not intended as an investment product. It does not provide a return on investment like a savings account or investment product.
