nShift Insurance offers simple, carrier agnostic protection for ecommerce deliveries

Though retailers’ ecommerce delivery teams take great care in packaging items for delivery to customers, accidents inevitably happen.

In fact, over half of consumers say they receive damaged goods each year*. This can expose retailers to substantial costs to replace items damaged in the last mile during the ecommerce delivery process.

Retailers need a rapid, easy way to provide protection from within their delivery management system.

Introducing nShift Insurance

We’re thrilled to announce nShift Insurance, which can provide tailored shipping protection for one billion shipments from European merchants.

Initially available with nShift Transsmart, nShift Insurance is powered by XCover, Cover Genius’ global distribution platform.

With nShift Insurance, online retailers, brands and webshops can replace items that are lost, stolen, or damaged in delivery. This will help them deliver better service to their customers, build loyalty, and encourage repeat purchasing.
