Logistics claim management is the systematic handling of loss, damage, and discrepancy claims arising during transportation or warehousing. Freight forwarders, shippers, and logistics providers implement processes to document damage, meet filing deadlines, assert liability claims against carriers and insurers, and negotiate settlements. Effective claim management shortens processing time, reduces losses, and ensures valid compensation is recovered. Unlike reactive damage reporting, it is proactive, comprehensively documented, and often supported by dedicated software systems.
