By GlobalDataThe firm’s new insurance plans will cover third-party liability as well as personal health and accident coverage for gig workers.
In a press statement, Cachet said: “Traditional insurers struggle to deal with platform work’s unique needs, such as ride-hailing drivers that work across different platforms like Bolt and Uber. This makes worker protection cumbersome and costly.
“Cachet solves the issue of a platform worker’s employment-related data being spread across multiple platforms by aggregating the data across platforms.”
It helps insurers in creating flexible insurance policies while reducing costs for workers.
