WeatherOptics translates weather data into actionable insights for logistics companies, providing predictive intelligence as a risk score or delay time that allow businesses to easily understand how upcoming weather will affect their operations. These insights help predict and mitigate uncertainties like trucking delays, warehouse disruptions, and driver risk due to weather.
“WeatherOptics insights are designed to predict potential risks to supply chain and logistics operations by combining weather modeling with industry-specific data points like geospatial variables, telematics data, and power outage reports. This allows us to deliver granular insights on exactly how actual business operations will be affected by upcoming storms.
