The products you manufacture, warehouse, and sell are the backbone of your business. They are an investment you will want to ensure is protected, and the best way to do that is through warehouse and logistics insurance, but what exactly is it and do you need it?

The second question is easiest to answer because it is simple. If you have a business that includes keeping an inventory of products, you will want to obtain a warehouse and logistics insurance policy. The warehouse piece to this type of insurance policy covers your warehouse storage operations. This means if the products are damaged, there is a physical loss due to a fire or other disaster, or if damage occurs during the packaging, storage, cross-docking, or labeling, the cost of the products affected will be covered.

The logistics insurance part of your policy provides commercial insurance coverage for logistics providers of your business. This is a position that gives you management of the flow of your goods and materials between the origination point of travel to their assigned destination. A logistics provider regularly handles tasks, such as shipping, inventory, warehousing, and security, for the shipping process.

Because both of the insurance coverage types are so closely related and very similar, most business owners opt for a warehouse and logistics insurance policy all in one. The products you create are the backbone of your business, which is a substantial investment of your time and money. It is also your livelihood as a business owner, so you will need to protect your products through this type of insurance policy.
