Boost Parcel Claims Approvals by 5x+

SimpleClaims automatically detects lost and damaged shipments — and files carrier-ready claims for you, all in one place.
A dashboard displays insurance claim statistics, including a claim approval rate of 94.7%, total payments of $990,785.44, 9,517 approved and 543 denied claims, and bar and pie charts visualizing this data.

More approvals. Higher payouts. Hours back to your team.

We start by reviewing your claims process, then show you how much more you could be recovering.  It's difficult for most companies to track claims KPIs. Here's what success looks like with SimpleClaims:
 >99%

On‑time filing

Deadline alerts and carrier-ready evidence mean fewer missed claims.
5x+

Approval rate lift

Because we know exactly what carriers require, every claim checks all boxes for approval.
80–90%

Fewer minutes per claim

Less manual work and more centralization frees up hours for ops and finance teams.
20–40%

Faster claim-to-cash

Cleaner data, smarter logic, and more dollars back where they belong.

Two ways claims begin. One place to win them.

SimpleClaims handles both hands‑off auto‑claims and customer‑flagged claims, then gives your team multiple ways to file - fast.

AutoClaim (hands off)

We find and file it for you.
SimpleClaims detects non-POD and carrier damage events, assembles evidence, and files on time - zero manual work.

AutoClaim (hands off)

How it works:
  • Triggers on carrier signals and rules you control
  • Pulls descriptions & values from your data sources
  • Builds carrier-ready evidence packs automatically
  • Deadline reminders and status updates built in
  • UPS & FedEx supported (DHL & USPS - Jan, '26)

Customer-flagged claims

Turn call-ins into claims - instantly.
When customers report issues not identified by the carrier, CX or Ops file claims in seconds - one unified queue for everything.

Customer-flagged claims

How it works:
  • Start a claim from tracking or order number
  • Pre-populated description and value
  • Attach photos, notes ticket IDs and more
  • Unlimited, unified bulk claims upload
  • SFTP and API claims push for hands-free filing

Filing customer-flagged claims - three easy options:

1

~5 seconds per claim

Auto-fills descriptions & values
Any carrier, one easy form
Validates to prevent denials

2

3

SFTP / API

Connect, Organize, Automate.

SimpleClaims turns messy, multi‑carrier workflows into one guided flow—so Ops works a single queue and Finance closes the loop with clean reconciliations.

Step 1 — Ingest Data

Connect your data in seconds.
Connect parcel carrier accounts (billing data and tracking events), order fulfillment systems (ShipStation, EasyPost) and eCommerce systems (Shopify, BigCommerce, ShipStation, Netsuite, Extensiv).
Read‑only by default, SSO & roles enforced
Field mapping with validation and transparent lineage
APIs & webhooks for downstream systems
A webpage section titled Data Sources lists various shipping companies like UPS, FedEx, Veho, Jitsu, LSO, DHL eCommerce, and MANIFEST, each with Add Account and Show Accounts buttons beside them.
A table of eligible FedEx shipments shows tracking numbers, carrier, type, invoice number, charge amount, days since shipment, expected delivery date, and claim status for multiple packages.

Step 2 — Detect Issues

We'll find every eligible claim - automatically.
Rules and carrier signals flag non‑POD loss and carrier‑identified damage into a prioritized queue.
Monitors carrier tracking events to identify damage and non-POD at day 7 past expected delivery date.
Deadline timers start on ingest; risk alerts before windows close
Tune thresholds to your business needs & workflows
Auto-notify your CS team of issues via app, email or API (roadmap)

Step 3 — Auto-Claim or Manual Claim

Fast, centralized filing, across all carriers.
AutoClaim takes care of all non-POD loss and carrier-identified damage claims from start to finish. But for any claims your customers flag (like hidden damage or mis-delivery),  you can file claims from a single form, use batch filing or set up API or SFTP claims-sync to move faster on volume.
Row‑level validation prevents batch rejections
Comments, mentions, and activity history on every claim

A digital claim management interface displays the Checklist tab, showing a submission checklist with sections for description, value, proof of shipment, notes, waiver, and photo evidence, some marked as optional or completed.

Step 4 — Assemble evidence

All necessary info and documents, auto-built.
We pre‑fill description, value, order details, build your proof of value document and shipper waiver, attach photos/PoD as available, validating all required fields per carrier.
Per‑carrier checklists (no guesswork)
Completeness checks reduce denials
Notes & attachments kept in an immutable audit trail

Step 5 — Manage & Dispute Denials

One consolidated queue, all carriers.
View rejection reasons and notes from all carriers, open disputes, and add required documentation from a unified interface.  Smart Disputes identify claims that shouldn't be disputed (ex: package recovered) and claims that should (ex: missing POD).
Smart groupings of carrier rejection reasons across carriers
View denials by brand, carrier, service or claim type

A table titled Carrier Payments lists payment details, including tracking and claim numbers, check numbers, dates, eligible amounts, and paid amounts for various claims. Total amount paid is $8373.24.

Step 6 — Reconcile to Finance

Match payout → post to GL → report.
Link carrier payments to claims, handle reversals/chargebacks, and report recoveries by carrier/service.
Clear 'paid claim' status with payout details
GL mapping & exports for month‑end close
Webhooks/exports to BI, ERP, or your data lake

File everywhere you ship. Connect what you already use.

Answers to common questions.

UPS and FedEx are live now. USPS and DHL enable on Jan 1, 2026. On the platform side, connect via Shopify, BigCommerce, ShipStation, or SFTP; APIs and webhooks are available for custom flows. (Features vary by carrier/service level—e.g., batch filing where supported.)
Outcome‑aligned: 25% of paid claims processed through SimpleClaims. We invoice monthly in arrears with a line‑item report (claim ID, carrier, paid date/amount). If a payout is reversed/charged back within 60 days, we credit the associated fee on the next invoice. No platform base fee by default; optional enterprise minimums only if mutually agreed.
Two ways claims begin, three ways to file: Auto‑claim (hands‑off): We detect non‑POD loss and carrier‑identified damage, assemble evidence, and file on time. Customer‑identified claims: Turn call‑ins/misdelivery reports into claims in seconds. Filing avenues: (1) Unified manual form (start from tracking or order number; typically ~5 seconds), (2) Bulk upload (unlimited rows, mixed carriers, row‑level validation—no all‑or‑nothing batch rejections), (3) Automated push via API, direct integration, or SFTP.
We auto‑pull order details, declared value/invoice, tracking events/PoD, and photos (when available) from your connected systems. Per‑carrier checklists and field validation ensure completeness before submission. You can also attach notes, tickets, and additional documents; everything is recorded in an immutable activity history.
Yes—paid pilots typically run 30–90 days. We stand up connectors (Shopify/BigCommerce/ShipStation/SFTP, UPS/FedEx), enable SSO/RBAC, baseline KPIs (minutes/claim, on‑time %, approval %, claim‑to‑cash), and run live claims (auto + customer‑identified). We conclude with an executive readout and rollout plan. USPS/DHL can be added as they go live.
ShipScience SimpleClaims is SOC-2 complaint.  We offer SSO (SAML/OIDC), role‑based access, encryption in transit and at rest, audit logs with export for SIEM, configurable retention, optional SCIM provisioning, and hardened SFTP (managed keys, IP allowlists, checksums). See the Trust Center for details.
No—SimpleClaims complements insurance. We centralize carrier claims (loss/damage), prevent deadline/field misses, and produce clean evidence packs. If you use insurance, SimpleClaims still reduces effort and improves documentation quality.
Bulk uploads: no row limits; you can submit all carriers in one file. We validate per row so a single error doesn't reject the whole file. Batch filing: supported where the carrier supports it (e.g., FedEx); we'll show progress and any row‑level exceptions.
