London-based embedded cargo insurance platform, Breeze has brought an AI tool to the market, that supports in solving a long-standing industry pain point – this time in the ocean freight industry: filling out cargo insurance quote forms for users to review and approve. ‘Quote AI Autofill’ brings automation to a process that has long relied on manual data entry in the freight industry. The tool addresses a persistent gap: around 70% of cargo travels uninsured or underinsured, partly because outdated workflows make it cumbersome for freight forwarders to offer coverage as a standard service. That process is now set to gain from artificial intelligence, as users can upload or paste documents they already have – such as bills of lading, commercial invoices, booking confirmations, or even email threads – and Breeze’s AI automatically extracts and populates key quote fields, including commodity type, cargo value, Incoterms, route, and vessel details.
Crucially, every AI-completed field is clearly flagged and editable so that no quote is submitted without explicit user approval. This keeps humans in control while eliminating repetitive data entry. The launch reflects a broader shift in freight tech toward embedding financial services directly into operational workflows, rather than treating them as separate steps. It also signals growing industry recognition that marine insurance infrastructure needs to catch up with how modern global trade actually moves.
Eyal Goldberg, Chief Executive Officer, Breeze, explained: “Forwarders are working in a market shaped by disruption, uncertainty, and pressure on margins, yet too much of the insurance process still depends on copying information from one document to another. Quote AI Autofill is designed to remove repetitive manual tasks, speed up quotes, and keep the user fully in control.”
