Digital technologies are fundamentally changing how businesses across all industries operate and serve their customers and cargo insurance is no exception.
The launch of digital freight platforms and marketplaces by forwarders, ocean carriers, logistics and supply chain providers present an exciting new distribution channel for the cargo insurance product. Integrating cargo and logistics insurance products and solutions into the ecosystems of digital freight greatly enhances the customer service and purchasing experience.

Bluestream will also provide clients with advanced reporting and analytics on their insurance programs, and access to emerging technology services such as blockchain and machine learning.
