Modernizing the Acquisition of Insurance
Industry experts solving industry-wide inefficiencies
Our story
Redkik was born as a result of collaboration of innovators from the USA and Nordics, with the mission to transform and improve the insurance industry for all parties within logistics and transportation.
Before founding Redkik, our founder & CEO, Chris Kalinski ran a shipping company, where he experienced first-hand the industry’s inefficiencies. The process of acquiring insurance was hard, complex and gave no flexibility to concentrate on his company’s core business. This is when Chris thought to himself: “There must be an easier way of doing this”.
As a solution, he gathered bright-minded individuals from the tech and business worlds to work on an instant and embedded transactional solution, which turned into Redkik.
What we do
Redkik’s software allows insurance to be transacted in an instantaneous way without the inefficiencies of traditional insurance. The solution has been created by industry experts to answer the difficulties of others finding themselves in similar situations. The solution moves all the complexity into the background, where the system utilizes AI and machine learning algorithms to make the user-experience as easy and simple as possible.
Starting as a cargo insurance solution, the market’s immediate response has since molded the flexible software to be used to solve additional inefficiencies for warehouse, gap, spike and cyber insurance.
Multiple other applications are currently being developed.

What people say about us
I recently purchased a new sailboat. I was unable to drive across the country to pick it up myself, so I hired my local marine services company to facilitate the delivery. They sat down with me and went over the quote process and I was surprised at how simple it was to get my boat delivery insured using Redkik’s technology, and I work in the software industry! It was even easier than calling my insurance agent.
What people say about us
I see Redkik as a valuable tool that will assist Oakcliff and many other programs as we move boats and equipment around the world to different events.
