Platform and tools
The ODC / OWC checker and the securing calculator, the 45-second film, the numbers, inside the platform, the Field Academy, research and the guides.
Why now
Grid corridors, battery storage and wind parks are putting record volumes of ODC and OWC cargo on national highways. Each load needs evidence an insurer can rely on.
765 kV-class transformers and shunt reactors ordered for renewable corridors, with deliveries running 2026 to 2027 across several states.

Why iCargoFinsure
Heavy cargo needs more than a checklist. It needs one record that every party can trust, built the same way on every move.
Our benchmarks come from a transformer maker’s book of 207 trips and 242 ODC and OWC inspections, fully anonymised. See the numbers.
AI-assisted readings are confirmed by a human maker and signed by a checker. Nothing is approved by the software alone.
Photographs, securing checks and maker-checker records in one standard record, from the first photograph to safe unloading. See how it works.
The Field Academy walks you through the maker, checker and unloading steps with demo data. Enter the Academy.
Illustrative campaign artwork, not photographs of real cargo or customers. The force figures in the artwork are examples.

The vision
Every trade starts as a root: a real cargo, photographed, measured and recorded. From that root rises one trunk, a single record every party can trust. Branches reach out to surveyors, transporters, insurers and financiers, and leaves carry the documents, the movements and the money. Grown far enough, the tree becomes embedded, insurance-integrated logistics for the whole trade. ODC and OWC cargo is where we plant it first.

Pilot scope: two categories, MoRTH and non-MoRTH, which you switch between in the app. The pilot data holds only the unit of measure, quantity and HSN code of what was floated: no names and no values.

Inside the app
Cropped from the current iCargoFinsure customer workspace and filled with demo data. The full workflow stays behind the demo.
Counters for drafts, work in progress, awaiting review and returned inspections, with the latest records below.
Tap the screen to enlarge. No client information is shown.
Engineering check
Change the weight or the available capacity and watch the verdict. The worked example is a 68 t vessel.
Illustrative. Not a certified securing-adequacy calculation.
ODC / OWC checker
Units are normalised to metres and kilograms before comparing, as the app does on every maker save. Your entries are kept on this device.
Want to see where a real move lands? See three real inspection reports.
For whom
Standardise ODC inspections across plants and logistics teams, and keep warranty evidence that holds up at claim time.
Guided capture, AI pre-filled forms and one-tap reports. Join as a surveyor.
Consistent, checker-signed evidence for marine-transit underwriting and faster, evidence-backed settlements. Read the insurer brief.
Route, driver, trailer, securing and unloading linked into one job record your client and insurer both accept.
Field Academy
Pack the evidence. Measure the load. Question the lashing. Hand the file to your checker, then follow the cargo to final rest. Your progress is saved.
Ten SOP photographs, documents, packages, centre of gravity, dunnage, lashing, vehicle, driver and submission.
Correct cargo details with a reason, return to the maker, or approve. Audit trail kept.
Equipment rating against chart capacity, rigging checks, four photo approvals, incidents and HOLD.
0.8 g longitudinal, 0.5 g transverse and 0.6 H assumed CG. Illustrative, not a lashing design.
The full client-edition guide, 11 chapters, searchable, with tables and 38 screen placements.
The real portal screens for paid users, plus ten field decisions to test your judgement.
A guided practice environment and technical reference, not a live survey, permit, verified registry response or cargo-securing certification.
Research
The thinking behind the platform, with the 2025 inspection data behind it: why inland ODC risk hides in the tail, and why an inspection-first record can see it before the loss.
Working paper · December 2025
Varun Gowariker, Murugan Lakshmanan and Bhavani N.
Claims and loss runs describe risk after the fact. Using anonymised 2025 inspection data, the paper looks at tail delays, concentrated exposure and delay amplification, and finds that risk clusters around combinations of operator behaviour, route constraints and governance gaps rather than shipment volume alone.

Mean 1.4 days and P90 2 days, yet the slowest inspection ran 11. Orange bars sit beyond P90.
Carrier concentration is high, and higher by shipments than by money.
Each bubble is a carrier. Two smaller carriers carry the worst tails.
