Freight rates swing. Fuel spikes. Margins compress overnight. Precursory writes parametric guarantees against the volatility that's structurally built into supply chains — so a bad quarter for the market doesn't have to mean a bad quarter for you.
Fuel surcharges are supposed to pass volatility through. In practice, the lag between the spike and the surcharge update is where margin quietly disappears. We insure that lag.
Energy solved margin volatility with index-based derivatives — and accepted basis risk as the cost of not seeing inside the plant. We can see inside the brokerage.
Detention, layover, and TONU don't show up in the rate sheet — they show up in the actuals, three weeks later, as a number nobody budgeted for. We cap that number before it lands.
Each product targets a specific source of supply chain volatility — priced parametrically, triggered by data you already generate, and paid out without a claims fight.
Guarantees that a brokerage's quarterly portfolio average margin won't fall below a defined floor — triggered by TMS-verified load-level data, with zero basis risk. If realized margin dips below the floor, the gap is paid out automatically.
Caps a shipper's exposure to accessorial costs — detention, layover, TONU, and other fees that spike unpredictably and erode freight budgets. Verified against shipment-level data, so payouts track real exposure rather than an industry average.
A parametric guarantee against freight rate swings — for shippers and brokers exposed to spot market volatility on key lanes.
Every Precursory product follows the same shape: real operational data in, a verified calculation, and an automatic payout if you cross the line. The data source and the trigger change by product.
Your TMS streams revenue and cost data for every load — automatically, with no manual reporting.
We compute your realized quarterly portfolio average margin directly from that data — the same number you already track internally.
If your realized margin falls below the agreed floor, the gap is paid out — no claims adjuster, no dispute over whose number is right.
Detention, layover, and TONU charges are captured at the shipment level as they're billed — straight from your TMS or accounting system.
We compute your realized accessorial cost against the agreed cap — using the same shipment data your team already reconciles.
If accessorial spend exceeds the cap, the excess is reimbursed — settled directly from verified shipment data.
