Supply chain disruption insurance is difficult to navigate.
- Businesses have historically protected themselves financially from supply chain disruptions by purchasing insurance as part of other coverages for property (contingent business interruption; CBI), cyber (CBI) or cargo (trade disruption; TDI) insurance, but the insurance market has written this coverage with low limits, and as a result, enterprises have struggled to procure adequate coverage to protect their businesses.
- To underwrite supplier network risks at a level that meets market demand, insurers require more accurate information on direct suppliers as well as visibility into dependencies on indirect suppliers, their locations, and the materials they supply.
- Insureds, brokers, insurers, and reinsurers lack a common operating picture of a company’s supplier network risk due to the scale, complexity, depth, and interconnectivity of supply chain networks and thus, uncertainty around the likelihood and severity of loss that is required to determine, pricing and terms of coverage.
But, a dynamic picture of a company’s supply chain risk profile creates visibility.
- You can have a trusted supply chain network view from the outset looking at multi-tier value chains—from the finished products back to their raw materials and all the entities and facilities along the way.
- This creates visibility into factors that contribute to insurance risk, using advanced AI and machine learning techniques to resolve and analyze the complexities of supplier networks at any resolution— including individual facility, company and portfolio scales— based on material flows and geographic locations.
