Case study

WorldWide Transit Insurance

No off-the-shelf solution. So we built one.

WorldWide Transit Insurance brokers international cargo coverage across carriers and jurisdictions. The operational tools they needed didn’t exist commercially. Built designed and developed two custom systems — a certificate generator and a packing-list tool — integrated directly into WTI’s daily workflow.

Challenge

When no off-the-shelf solution exists.

International transit insurance lives at a complexity nobody’s commercial software product addresses. Every shipment needs an insurance certificate with the right coverage calculations and the right documentation for the destination’s customs requirements. Every load needs a packing list that conforms to multiple carriers’ varied specifications. No pre-built tool could perform the calculations, generate the certificates, or integrate with the diverse systems WTI’s carrier partners ran.

WTI had been operating manually — spreadsheets, Word templates, and hours per shipment of human reconciliation work. The error rate was the predictable cost. The bottleneck was the team’s capacity to grow the book of business without growing the back office at the same rate. WTI needed custom-built solutions that were accurate, compliant, and embedded directly into their daily operations.

  • International transit complexity outside the scope of any commercial software

  • Manual workflows producing predictable error rates at scale

  • Multiple carriers each with their own integration and documentation requirements

  • Growth gated by back-office capacity rather than market demand

Approach

From concept to custom development.

Built partnered with WTI to design and develop two systems built specifically for their workflows. The Custom Certificate Generator automatically produces insurance certificates from user inputs — calculating coverage amounts and generating the compliant documentation each customs jurisdiction requires. The Digital Packing List Tool creates inventory lists with calculated amounts, digitally transmitted with shipments and formatted to meet the requirements of multiple carriers.

The certificate generator was embedded into WTI’s existing Magento commerce platform for seamless operations. The packing list tool was built in React for fast rendering, component reusability, and long-term stability.

  • Custom Certificate Generator — automated coverage calculations + compliant documentation

  • Digital Packing List Tool — carrier-specific formatting + digital transmission

  • Magento integration embedding the certificate tool into existing commerce flow

  • React architecture for the packing list tool ensuring component reusability

  • Multi-carrier integration handling each partner’s specific documentation requirements

  • Workflow automation reducing manual reconciliation across both tools
