Trade and distribution

Full cover for trade and distribution operations to insure all of your risks in France and abroad

If you are a distributor or trader in the mass market retailing, clothing, automotive equipment, gardening or home supplies sectors, whatever your speciality, you have to contend with a growing body of constraints that amplify the risks incurred in your business sector. Verlingue has been an expert in the challenges facing the trade and distribution sector for 30 years, and is by your side to ensure all of your risks, in France and abroad.

In your business sector, there are numerous pressures on your development, including the availability of raw materials, tensions on your supply chains and your entire logistics chain, rising energy costs and tighter legislative requirements, particularly with regard to public buildings. Verlingue, as a specialist in risk analysis, prevention and risk management, makes its expertise in these areas available to you to effectively cover the risks to which you are exposed. Our advisers are by your side to set up the insurance programme best suited to your needs, so you can focus on growing your business.

Analyse your situation and set up a tailored risk-management programme

We bring you a risk-analysis method that provides an overview of your scope of business, even if you have a large number of sites. This initiative is tailored to your requirements and grounded on a thorough analysis of your situation and claims record, based on detailed figures.

This approach to risk management, by being objective, constructive and adaptable, yields a structured action plan with solutions that strike a balance between prevention, technicity and your budget.

Risk@ccess

Our platform gives you access to a dashboard that compiles the progress status of each site’s actions with a consolidated company-wide or group-wide view.

Defending your interests is our priority, in France and on the international market. As a specialist in engineering complaints processes and assisting with compensation, we are also by your side until any issues or disputes have been completely resolved.
