Modern Business Intelligence (BI) platforms empower companies to harness big data and leverage it in a way that is visually insightful. BI provides organizations with knowledge and insights to quickly make and execute better business decisions.
Incorporating weather for BI helps businesses to discover how weather affects their sales, energy, product distribution, organizational performance, and more through analytics. Our OnPoint Weather data products provide hyper-local past (back to the year 2000), present, and forecast weather information.
When integrated with a BI platform such as 1010Data or Qlik, OnPoint Weather equips companies to analyze correlated weather information then proactively strategize, improve future performance, and optimize profits.
OnPoint Weather turns granular data into meaningful BI results that enable companies around the globe and across industries to:
- Reduce wasteful spending
- Increase ROI
- Optimize logistics and supply chains
- Fine-tune marketing campaigns
- Effectively allocate resources
- Time seasonal inventory purchases appropriately
- Strategically schedule staff
- And much more
BI informed by OnPoint Weather reveals industry- and location-specific trends. Companies can answer questions such as why one location outperforms another, how to properly stock shelves and manage inventory purchases, how to maintain appropriate staff levels, or why sales are higher (or lower) on a particular day.
Imagine how effective your management team could be with access to high-caliber past weather data.
