Stable: The Supply Chain Risk Club is officially Live

11 June 2024

1 min read

Stable Group has become famous as the only company in the world to have a product to insure Food and Commodity businesses against price volatility. Stable brought together their data-science-led insights, their brilliant digital platform and a sophisticated regulatory structure and partnered with a consortium of some of the most respected Insurance Companies in the world to develop this ground-breaking product … some of the largest FoodCos on the planet are now customers of Stable.

But what we know about supply-side risk management extends far beyond the Food and Agriculture world and so Stable is now excited to introduce their new Club, which is for businesses - worldwide – that have exposure to Supply Chain risk. The Club will benefit from all the work and insights for which Stable has already become renowned plus a new suite of tools and products to benefit our members!

Members of the Stable Club will have been exposed to balance sheet risk – shareholder risk – during the Covid epidemic; they will have been anxious at the outbreak of war in Ukraine; they may be concerned by the spread of Avian flu; they fear the rise of political and social unrest; they will certainly be bothered by the effects of climate change … if you have a turnover of no less than $100m (or €100m in Europe) and want to understand and manage your supply-side risk better, then you are able to join the Club … membership is free (subject to our due diligence and regulatory checks) and you will be joining like-minded companies with literally $billions of turnover (and exposure!).  Members of the Club benefit from the following:

Risk Management – track and map your exposures

We run your numbers through our sophisticated, live data science algorithms and you get access to a powerful dashboard that identifies your points of weakness; we turn your instinctive supply-chain anxiety into quantifiable and actionable data.  We will hold your hand through the whole process and will bring clarity to your corporate risk planning.

We also automatically alert our members to emerging risks relevant to their exposures – if your specific preoccupation is with the supply and price of avocados, you sure want to know about developing Mexico / US border disruptions and extreme weather events in Nuevo León!

Risk Management – smooth your price risk

We have a sophisticated regulatory structure that allows you, the Member, to design and build your own risk management programme for price risks that have been highlighted on your Risk Dashboard.  We will help you identify the real and probable cost variations on your inventory, cut through the noise about how diversification of risk helps your volatility and get you set with a powerful inventory cost-smoothing mechanism.

Risk Management – protect your exposures

Where the outlier risks to your balance sheet are outside a Member’s owner/shareholder tolerance, your Club has close trading relationships with highly rated Insurers and capital markets that will help you get peace of mind; … with some of the largest balance sheets on the planet protecting your ‘tail’,  you benefit from the volume traded on behalf of other Club Members – you’ll achieve ‘scale’ pricing without necessarily trading at that volume.

Digital Delivery

All products are delivered in a modern digital way – we won’t ask you to fill-out proposal forms and become involved in a lot of the ‘stuff’ that typical insurance companies need; quotes and products are often provided instantaneously or, where more complex, certainly within 24 hours.  By the same token, claims are based on empiric, measurable data, which takes the “adjustment” process out of claims and settles in the blink of an eye, just when you need it!
