6. XCOVER IS AN INSURANCE DISTRIBUTION PLATFORM
The API dynamically bundles policies for any territory, currency and language.
The XCover API generates a
warranty or insurance
product for any product sale
worldwide. For example:
1. A Millennial is shopping
online for bicycles. During the
transaction, XCover returns
tailored warranty/insurance
protection.
2. A Baby Boomer visits a
brick & mortar store. XCover
bundles jewelry insurance
and separate protection for
electronics from 2 different
insurers.

9. REDUCING CLAIM PROCESSING TIMES FOR SHIPRUSH
Claim completion times from 20 days to 24 hours
Descartes partnered with Cover Genius to
create Total Shipping Protection: a more
customer-centric solution for their ShipRush
customers.
Our focus on building automation features
into our fully configurable XClaim platform
allowed us to quickly iterate.
Our simplified carrier-agnostic approach,
coupled with our XClaim technology and
licensing in 60+ countries and 50 US states,
enables logistics partners to offer a wide
range of custom coverages like porch piracy,
general average, liability and delivery failure
to suit their customer needs.
The result: a reduction in claim processing
times from 20 days to 24 hours.
