The new offerings include:

  • Telematics program that promotes safe driving habits by providing customers with real-time performance data. Customers who enroll in the program may receive either a premium discount or a device subsidy.

  • Cargo theft reporting feature that expedites the claim process by enabling users to report thefts directly from a mobile app to the Northland claim team and Travelers’ Special Investigation Group. According to the company, the investigations group has assisted in the recovery of more than $90 million in stolen cargo since 2011.

  • Curated set of risk management tools and resources called the Northland Innovation Network. This central hub provides customers with access to programs, platforms, and research to help them keep workers and fleets operating safely and effectively, the company said.

These new customer benefits are added to the Northland Advantage suite of products and services, which include dedicated risk control safety specialists, experienced claim professionals, and attorneys dedicated to the transportation industry.

“These solutions are the latest in a long line of products and services designed to help our customers improve driver safety and reduce costs,” said Donato Monaco, president of Northland Insurance, which is now celebrating its 75th anniversary.
