The Challenge

Their insurance protects them, not you

Weeks of underwriting

Coverage takes weeks to start. Inventory exposed from arrival.

Fixed coverage, fixed cost

Overpaying when stock is low. Under-covered during peak.

Deductibles kill small claims

Most small incidents fall below the threshold to file.

External agency vs Portless Inventory Protection

Built for DTC, not enterprise logistics

It was designed for enterprise logistics — fixed annual premiums, multi-week underwriting, and deductibles built for large-scale incidents. Inventory Protection is built differently.
