InsurTech startup Corvus Insurance released new coverage designed to help food and beverage companies reduce the loss of perishable goods.

It will be part of Corvus’s expanding Smart Cargo insurance, whose tools gather data from temperature sensors already used in the shipment of food that is subject to spoilage.

Corvus said it analyzes the data set of millions of shipments across multiple companies to create a temperature stability scoring model. The data from an individual shipper of goods is then compared to the aggregated data model to receive their individual Corvus Cargo Score. This score can be used by commercial insurance brokers and buyers to better predict and prevent loss. And for prospective policyholders that have the best scores, Corvus, in partnership with Argo Group, offers insurance with lower prices and broader coverage.

Corvus uses its innovative technology and digital platform, the CrowBar, to monitor new information from ongoing shipments. If the CrowBar technology spots negative trends or if the temperature stability score changes, the broker and policyholder are informed and provided actionable recommendations.

Corvus is funded by Bain Capital and the startup distributes its Smart Cargo insurance policies on a Managing General Agency basis with partner Argo Group. Policies will be distributed by independent brokerage firms across the United States.
