Cargo delays aren’t new. They’re a 400-year legacy problem – and they still cost supply chains nearly $50B a year in losses that traditional insurance doesn’t cover.
Yann Barbarroux, CEO and founder of Otonomi, explains why freight has always moved faster than insurance – and how Otonomi is closing that gap with delay insurance designed for aviation and maritime cargo.
Forwarders know the drill:
a lane gets canceled, cargo gets bumped, or a port disruption hits – and suddenly a 24-hour delay turns into damaged goods, penalties, and strained customer relationships.
And after all that?
There’s usually no refund. No coverage. No fix.
That’s where Otonomi comes in.
Otonomi is the first delay-insurance product built specifically for cargo logistics. It automatically tracks and traces shipments, detects qualifying delays, and pays out within a few days – without the back-and-forth that makes traditional claims a non-starter.
No chasing carriers.
No waiting weeks.
Just delay risk covered – in the same click-speed workflow forwarders already use to book.
