Introduction: The Battle for Differentiation in Outsourced Logistics

The outsourced logistics market in France is experiencing explosive growth: according to Fevad, more than 850 million packages were handled by 3PL and 4PL providers in 2024. But this growth is accompanied by intensifying competition.

The challenge: How can you stand out when you offer the same carriers, the same delivery times, and rates similar to those of your competitors?

The answer: White-label premium package insurance. Turn a cost center into a unique competitive advantage while generating a new source of recurring revenue.

Why Your B2B Customers Demand Premium Insurance

Your customers' profile has changed dramatically. The " retailers " that outsource their logistics are now mature organizations that manage their risks and optimize every point in their value chain.

Three Trends Are Driving This Demand

1. The Boom in High-Value Catalogs

According to ADEME, the French market for refurbished electronics reached 1.8 billion euros in 2024, while the market for premium cosmetics exceeded 3 billion euros. A refurbished smartphone priced at 800 euros insured for only 23 euros per kilogram by carriers? That’s unacceptable to your customers.

2. The Need for Optimized Cash Flow

Waiting 60 to 90 days to receive compensation for a lost package worth €2,000—even after having already reimbursed their end customer—has become unacceptable. Your customers are looking for expedited compensation processing times that protect their cash flow.

3. Rising Customer Expectations

According to e-commerce studies, more than one in three consumers will no longer recommend a business after a delivery- Dispute t has not been properly resolved. Your B2B customers expect you to help them turn an incident into an opportunity to build loyalty.

White Label Claisy: Package Insurance Under Your Brand

The Principle

A white-label solution allows you to offer your customers premium ad valorem insurance under your own brand, without the complexities of a traditional insurance partnership.

In practice: Your customers sign up for “[Your 3PL Name] Premium Insurance,” while Claisy handles the technology, coverage, and back-office transportation disputes.

How It Works

Client Interface:

  • Dashboard featuring your logo and colors
  • Integrated "Premium Package Insurance" section
  • Invisible Claisy (or "Powered by Claisy," depending on your preference)

Technical Integration:

  • REST API that integrates with your WMS/TMS
  • Automatic coverage during label generation
  • Unique policy number returned instantly

Custom Branding:

  • Confirmation emails regarding your brand guidelines
  • Claim documents with your letterhead
  • A Consistent End-to-End Experience

Business Flexibility:

  • You choose your plan: premium package, à la carte option, or threshold-based automation
  • Claisy adapts to your strategy

Your Measurable Competitive Advantages

1. Immediate Differentiation

Your new sales pitch:

"Unlike most 3PLs, which are limited to standard carrier insurance, we offer premium coverage of up to €100,000 per package with expedited compensation within 48–72 hours, directly integrated into your logistics dashboard."

This sentence radically changes how your offering is perceived and justifies a premium pricing strategy.

2. Generating Additional Revenue

For each insured package, you earn a commission on the insurance premium.

Financial Simulations:

Revenue Potential for 3PLs

Estimate of commissions generated through the Claisy partnership

3PL Profile Customers Packages per month Subscription Rate Insured Packages Estimated Annual Income*
Small 30 15 000 40% 6 000 Several tens of K€
Medium 80 50 000 50% 25 000 More than 100,000 euros
Major 4PL 200+ 150 000 60% 90 000 Several hundred thousand euros

* Estimates based on a standard average shopping cart and a referral commission.

*Subject to commercial agreement

This revenue is recurring and predictable, with no investment in physical infrastructure required. Immediate ROI starting with the first insured packages.

3. Improving Customer Retention

A customer who is satisfied with your logistics service but frustrated by the limitations of the insurance is at risk of churning.

Industry data shows that a 3PL customer using at least two value-added services (storage + order fulfillment + premium insurance) has a retention rate that is 35% to 50% higher than that of a customer using only basic services.

Simplified Operational Management

What You Manage (Minimal)

  • Initial Technical Integration (One-Time API Connection)
  • Sales Presentation of the Offer to Your Clients
  • First-level support, if necessary

What Claisy Handles (Everything Else)

  • Automatic policy issuance with each API call
  • Claims Processing (Verification of Supporting Documents, Approval)
  • Express compensation within 48–72 hours
  • Relationships with Partner Insurers and Reinsurers
  • Regulatory Compliance (Claisy is ORIAS-certified)
  • Level 2 and 3 Customer Support

Result: Your additional operational burden is virtually zero. You reap the added value without having to deal with the complexity.

FAQ: Your Strategic Questions About White Label

👥  What types of 3PL/4PL providers can implement the Claisy White Label solution?

The solution adapts to logistics providers of all sizes and profiles. Whether you’re a small regional 3PL with 20 e-commerce clients looking to professionalize your operations, an established 3PL with 100 clients seeking to differentiate yourself from direct competitors, or a large national 4PL with 300+ clients requiring a scalable and automated solution, the white-label model works. The only technical requirement is to have a WMS or TMS capable of making outbound API calls, which is the case for virtually all modern logistics systems. If your system is very old, Claisy can also offer alternative integration solutions via webhooks or batch files.

⏱️  How long does the technical integration of the white label take?

The integration timeline depends on your technology stack and the level of customization you require. For a standard API integration with basic branding (logo, colors), expect a total of 2 to 4 weeks, including the development, staging environment testing, and production deployment phases. For a more in-depth integration with advanced customization of the user interface and specific workflows, the timeline may extend to 6–8 weeks. Claisy provides comprehensive API documentation, test environments (sandboxes), and dedicated technical support throughout the project to ensure a smooth implementation.

🏷️  Will my customers see the Claisy brand or just my brand?

You decide how visible Claisy is based on your communication strategy. Option 1: Full white label, where Claisy is completely invisible to your customers. The insurance appears as “Premium Insurance [Your Name]” on all interfaces and documents. Option 2: Co-branding with the phrase “Powered by Claisy” in small print at the bottom of the page, useful for leveraging Claisy’s brand recognition among customers who are already familiar with the brand. Option 3: Mixed branding, where you present the insurance as a partnership: “[Your Name] in partnership with Claisy.” Most 3PLs choose Option 1 (full white label) to maximize their own brand image.

🛠️  How does claims management actually work with a white-label solution?

The process is designed to be transparent for you and seamless for your customers. When one of your customers files a claim, they do so directly through their interface on your platform (your customer dashboard). The claim is automatically forwarded via API to Claisy, which takes over the processing. Claisy reviews the supporting documents, verifies compliance with the contract, and pays the customer within 48–72 hours. You’ll receive automatic notifications on the status of the claim if you wish to track it, but you don’t need to take any operational action. If your customer has a question about their claim, you can choose to redirect them directly to Claisy’s support team (who will respond while maintaining the context of your partnership) or handle the first level of support yourself using an FAQ provided by Claisy.

⚙️  Can I customize the insurance terms for some of my clients?

Yes, the white-label solution offers significant flexibility. You can define different insurance profiles based on your customer segments. For example, for customers who ship only low-value, standard items (basic clothing, books), you can offer insurance as an optional add-on. For customers shipping medium-value items (cosmetics, small electronics), you can automatically enable insurance above a certain threshold. For your premium customers shipping high-value items (watches, high-tech devices, luxury goods), you can automatically include it in your logistics package. These rules are configured in your management interface and are automatically applied based on each customer’s metadata.

💵  How will it affect my cash flow if I have to pay compensation in advance?

There is no impact because you never advance any funds. The business model is clear: Claisy compensates your customers directly via bank transfer without going through you. You bear no financial risk related to claims. Your role is limited to facilitating the technical connection via the API and promoting the offer commercially. The financial flows between Claisy and your customers for claims payments are completely separate from your own logistics billing processes. The only financial interaction between you and Claisy involves the commission you receive on insurance premiums, which is paid to you according to the schedule defined in your commercial agreement (usually monthly or quarterly).

🔄  What happens if I switch to a different WMS or TMS system?

The IT system change is a non-event for your white-label insurance offering. When you migrate to the new WMS or TMS, all you need to do is reconnect the Claisy API using the same settings. Claisy provides standard connectors for most WMS systems on the market (Manhattan, SAP EWM, Generix, Reflex, etc.), which significantly speeds up the process of getting back online. In the worst-case scenario, if your new system is highly specialized, reconnecting may require a few days of development work. During this transition period, you can temporarily switch to a manual mode for declaring packages to be insured via the Claisy web interface to ensure uninterrupted service for your customers. Insurance coverage therefore remains active without interruption, even during your IT transformation projects.

🎓  How can I train my salespeople to sell the White Label offering?

Claisy supports you in your sales rollout with a comprehensive kit. You’ll receive a structured sales pitch that highlights customer benefits, addresses common objections, and provides competitive comparisons. PowerPoint presentations that can be customized to match your brand guidelines are provided for your sales meetings. Claisy can organize a half-day sales training session for your sales teams to help them become self-sufficient and confident in presenting the premium insurance offering. ROI simulation tools for your prospects are also available, allowing you to concretely demonstrate the savings achieved compared to traditional carrier insurance policies. Finally, Claisy can participate in your first strategic sales meetings to support your teams and reassure prospects about the technical and insurance-related soundness of the solution.

Conclusion: Turn Package Delivery Insurance into a Competitive Advantage

The outsourced logistics market has entered a new era in which differentiation is no longer based solely on pricing. Premium package insurance is becoming a standard expectation for any retailer that ships medium- to high-value products.

The Claisy white-label solution allows you to reach this level of maturity in just a few weeks, without the years of development and heavy investment required to build your own solution.

3PLs that do not offer a credible alternative to limited carrier insurance will gradually be relegated to the low-cost segment.
