Claims Scattered Across Formats
Loss, damage, shortage, and delay claims were tracked in a mix of spreadsheets and email threads with no consistent structure.
LOGISTICS & SUPPLY CHAIN MVP CASE STUDY
Bringing Every Freight Claim Into One Lifecycle
Loss, damage, shortage, delay, and carrier-related claims were tracked across scattered spreadsheets and emails, making it difficult to see claim status or outcomes at a glance. MVPHUB built a greenfield freight claims management MVP covering the full claim lifecycle from filing to resolution.
▣ Every Claim Type, One System Loss, damage, shortage, delay, and carrier claims all tracked in a single lifecycle.
♙ Full Status Visibility Teams see every claim's stage from filing through resolution without chasing spreadsheets.
✦ Greenfield MVP Build Built as a focused lifecycle tool rather than a bolt-on to existing claim spreadsheets.
Managing Freight Claims As A Process, Not A Pile Of Emails
Freight claims come in many forms — a shortage on arrival, a delay penalty, damage discovered at delivery — and each one traditionally lived in its own email thread or spreadsheet row with no shared structure.
This MVP treats every claim type as a single lifecycle: filed, under review, awaiting carrier response, resolved. Teams get one place to track status, evidence, and outcomes across every claim in flight.

The Challenge
No Unified Status View
Knowing which claims were open, awaiting a carrier response, or resolved required manually checking multiple sources.
Inconsistent Claim Outcomes
Without a structured process, similar claims were sometimes handled differently depending on who managed them.
What We Can Identified
A single claims lifecycle covering loss, damage, shortage, delay, and carrier-related freight claims from filing to resolution.
Unified Claim Filing
Any claim type is filed through one structured form, capturing the shipment, carrier, and evidence details needed to pursue it.
Lifecycle Status Tracking
Claims move through clear stages — filed, under review, carrier response, resolved — visible to the whole team at a glance.
Carrier Response Tracking
Correspondence and responses from carriers are logged against each claim, keeping the history in one place.
Evidence & Documentation Storage
Photos, delivery records, and supporting documents are attached directly to the claim rather than living in separate email threads.
Claim Outcome Reporting
Resolved claims are tracked with their outcomes, giving teams a record of recovery rates and claim types over time.
Aging Claims Alerts
Claims sitting too long without movement are flagged so nothing quietly stalls past a resolution deadline.
How MVPHUB Delivered The Claims Platform From Concept To MVP
1
◇ Map Claim Types
We identified the distinct claim types — loss, damage, shortage, delay, carrier issues — and how each one's process actually worked.
2
✎ Design One Shared Lifecycle
We defined a single claim lifecycle flexible enough to handle every claim type without becoming type-specific chaos.
3
✦ Build Tracking & Documentation
Our engineers built the claim filing, status tracking, and document storage as one connected system.
4
♢ Test Across Claim Scenarios
We validated the lifecycle against real claim scenarios spanning each type to confirm nothing was left unaccounted for.
5
⌁ Launch For Claims Teams
The freight claims MVP launched, replacing scattered spreadsheets with one shared, trackable claim lifecycle.
A claim without visible status is a claim that stalls. Track every type in one lifecycle so nothing sits forgotten in an inbox.
Engineering Behind The Claims Lifecycle Experience
Unified Claim Data Model
Loss, damage, shortage, delay, and carrier claims were structured under one flexible data model rather than separate silos.
Lifecycle State Tracking
A clear stage model keeps every claim visible from filing through resolution.
Document & Evidence Storage
Supporting evidence is stored against each claim in a structured, retrievable format.
Built For Continued Growth
The claims model was structured to extend with new claim types and carrier integrations over time.
The Outcome
Before: Claims Buried In Spreadsheets & Email
× Claims scattered across spreadsheets and email threads
× No unified view of claim status across types
× Inconsistent handling of similar claims
× Claims stalling without anyone noticing
After: A Tracked Claims Lifecycle
✓ Every claim type filed through one structured process
✓ Clear status visibility from filing to resolution
✓ Carrier responses and evidence logged in one place
✓ Aging claims flagged before they're forgotten
A Greenfield MVP Built For Claim Accountability

From Scattered Spreadsheets To One Claim Lifecycle
File it once. Track it consistently. Resolve it with evidence in hand.
This MVP focused on giving every claim type a shared, trackable lifecycle rather than building bespoke workflows per claim category from the start. That foundation lets the team see claim status clearly today while supporting more automation later.
THE MVPHUB PRINCIPLE
“A claims process only works if every claim type lives in the same visible system. Unify the lifecycle first, specialize the details later.
