Business Wire
Greenlight Re Innovations ("GRI"), part of Greenlight Capital
Re, Ltd. (NASDAQ: GLRE) ("Greenlight Re" or the "Company"), has
announced an investment in Redkik, Inc. ("Redkik"), a cargo
insurance administration and analytics platform.
Cargo insurance policies have traditionally been written on an
annual basis and priced based on projected cargo volume and value.
For cargo owners that cannot accurately predict the frequency and
value of future shipments, pricing inefficiencies can represent
significant additional costs. Redkik has created an API-embedded
solution and platform positioned between freight forwarders and
insurance carriers, enabling transport intermediaries to offer
appropriately priced, per-shipment cargo insurance policies to
their clients at the point of booking.
Simon Burton, Chief Executive Officer at Greenlight Re, said,
"Some time ago, we identified cargo insurance as an ideal candidate
for a more granular and data-driven approach to underwriting and
pricing, that’s more responsive to the needs of small and large
enterprises alike. Redkik’s product perfectly matches our vision
for the future of cargo insurance and we’re excited to play a role
in their development."
Chris Kalinski, Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Redkik,
said, "For years, there has been a disconnect in the market between
customer needs and insurance products. The dynamic nature of the
logistics process forces the insurance industry to adapt to meet
the changing demands. Redkik offers a transactional, on-demand
solution tailored for the unique and evolving needs of the global
logistics sector, which solves this industry-wide problem and adds
direct value for the customer. Working with Greenlight Re has been
instrumental in accelerating our journey to transform the
industry."
