Over the past several years Roanoke Trade has enjoyed being a part of the insurance industry's automation transformation by researching the best solutions for our clients and putting them into action. Are you taking advantage of the work flow solutions we offer to clients at no charge?

CoverageDock™
Roanoke Trade's CoverageDock™ program provides 24/7 online access and user support from anywhere in the world to issue cargo insurance certificates, declare shipments, insure storage, report and monitor claims, run management reports and more. The system can filter data to reduce errors and eliminate coverage mistakes; it also keeps users within their underwriting authority and speeds turnaround of special quotations. Other special features are its OFAC screening and vessel review capabilities through real-time integration with independent search tools.

Roanoke Trade's CoverageDock™ is currently used in 32 countries and processes over 60,000 shipments and five billion dollars in insured value annually; these numbers are growing as its popularity takes hold throughout organizations. CoverageDock™ is available to clients in five different languages, can process certificates in 150 different currencies and Roanoke Trade deploys it with various insurance companies.

Do you want to map your system's data into CoverageDock™ or electronically report your insurance from your own system? These options are possible too.

FastBond™
Of the few automated systems in North America that help customs brokers manage their bond business, Roanoke Trade's FastBond™ program leads the way in providing increased efficiency and reducing errors. Plus, like all of our systems it is accessible and supported 24/7.

Automated notifications for early identification of bond insufficiency risks are available and our service team works with you promptly through their resolution. Various reports are also available to meet your clients' compliance and cost control objectives.

Today, around 2,500 individuals are actively using FastBond™ and others have integrated our laser single transaction bond into their ABI systems via blanket written agreements which enable them to do so. Electronic reporting of bond data from your in- house system is also available.

CarnetsOnline™
Roanoke Trade's CarnetsOnline™ enables most users to obtain a Carnet for their clients in less than 24 hours. CarnetsOnline™ also enables you to apply for the bond and cargo insurance in the same, simple online process. Our automated system manages more Carnets than any other facility in the nation at a rate of over 10,000 Carnets annually. We have been an official Service Provider of the United States Council for International Business for over 30 years.

Claims Services that Boost Results
In stark contrast to other insurance providers, Roanoke Trade will add value to your insurance program through the strategic importance we place on claims and subrogation services. We analyze claims history and propose ways to keep your insurance programs cost-effective. As relates to shipper's interest insurance, our carrier subrogation techniques play an important role in reducing claims ratios.

Attention to detail and unrelenting persistence are our claims service team's strengths. CoverageDock™ enables you to file or check the status of a claim day or night.

Your policy will be underwritten with foresight as to how we may improve your service experience when claims occur. For example, we can offer enhanced coverage clauses to aid in the prevention of claim disputes. In addition, certain clauses may be added to expedite the transfer of funds to claimants even if final adjustments have not been resolved. Our quality service will enable you to be responsive to your clients' cargo claims-a benefit that may translate into new sales and business retention for your organization.
