Parsyl is a data-powered cargo insurer for essential supply chains in food and health. Using supply chain data from its sensors and other data sources, Parsyl can more accurately underwrite cargo insurance policies and help customers reduce risk.

Parsyl leads the Essential Consortium, the first consortium for perishable cargo at Lloyd’s. 

Lab activity

Primary focus product area whilst in the Accelerator: Parametric I Supply chain/NDBI

The Lab helped Parsyl develop the new sensor-based insurance product for perishable marine cargo and secure capacity from Ascot, Beazley, CNA Hardy, AXA XL and QBE.  

"Lloyd’s Lab was a pivotal moment in Parsyl’s history. The mentorship and industry exposure we experienced helped us identify where we could best contribute to forward progress in the industry. We celebrate with gratitude and excitement for the future of the Lab."
Gavin Spencer, Chief Insurance Officer
