Redkik and Fortress Partner to Launch Bridge Cover, a Flexible Gap, Excess and Spike Insurance for Logistics Operators  

EASTON, MARYLAND, August 13, 2026Redkik, a global software company transforming how insurance is delivered and administered across the logistics and supply chain industries, today announced a strategic partnership with Fortress Logistics Insurance, a specialty insurance brokerage focused exclusively on the logistics industry and recognized for its consultative approach to risk management and program design. 

Together, Redkik and Fortress will introduce Bridge Cover, Powered by Redkik, a flexible gap, excess and spike insurance solution designed to give logistics operators greater flexibility than traditional coverage options. The solution enables operators to close protection gaps, scale coverage during periods of heightened risk or exposure, and access excess limits on demand. All coverage is administered through Redkik’s technology platform. 

A Faster Way to Close Coverage Gaps 

Logistics operators routinely face exposures that standard policies don’t fully address — coverage gaps between programs, seasonal or shipment-specific spikes in risk, and the need for excess limits above existing programs. Bridge Cover, Powered by Redkik and underwritten through Fortress’s specialty programs, is built to respond to those moments with speed and flexibility, giving customers coverage that scales with their operations rather than requiring a new policy or lengthy renewal process. 

By combining Redkik’s real-time data, automation and policy administration capabilities with Fortress’s underwriting expertise in the logistics space, the partnership enables faster access to tailored gap, excess and spike coverage — reducing uninsured exposure for freight forwarders, brokers and final mile operators. 

“By partnering with Fortress, we’re able to put an on-demand, purpose-built solution directly into our platform, so operators can close a coverage gap or add excess limits in the moment they need it, not weeks later,” said Chris Kalinski, Founder and CEO of Redkik. 

“We built Fortress around understanding the day-to-day realities of freight forwarders, brokers and final mile operators, and that means being able to respond when their risk profile changes,” said Brendan M. Walsh, President of Fortress. “Redkik’s platform gives us a faster, more efficient way to respond to customers, and this partnership lets us bring our specialty coverage to a much broader part of the logistics community.” 

Built for the Realities of Logistics 

The collaboration reflects both companies’ shared focus on the logistics industry: Fortress’s programs are purpose-built for freight forwarders, freight brokers, NVOCCs, and final mile operators, while Redkik’s technology platform is designed specifically to transactionalize and streamline insurance for the same community. Together, the companies aim to make gap, excess and spike coverage simpler to access and easier to manage, with quoting and administration handled through Redkik’s platform. 

Fortress Logistics Insurance delivers specialized insurance solutions built exclusively for the logistics industry, serving Freight Forwarders, NVOCCs, Freight Brokers, Warehouse Operators, and Final Mile providers. Combining deep industry expertise with innovative technology, Fortress provides market-leading coverage, competitive pricing, exceptional service, and a seamless digital experience.
