SONAR and WeatherOptics Deepen Partnership to Deliver Hyperlocal Weather Intelligence Through Enhanced Critical Events Module

SONAR, a leading global supply chain intelligence platform, is pleased to announce an enhanced partnership with WeatherOptics, a leading weather impact and risk intelligence provider. This collaboration allows mutual customers to customize the Critical Events module within the SONAR platform by easily uploading their own specific locations and facilities, enabling them to better anticipate and track weather issues that could impact their supply chain.

Through this expanded partnership, users can now upload their specific business locations to map critical weather events directly onto their supply chain network. While all SONAR users have access to a high-level overview of major weather events like hurricanes and severe storms, this enhancement provides mutual customers with deeper, more tailored insights for the locations that matter most to their business.

Benefits for these customers include automated notifications for key operational locations, daily executive briefings with 72+ hour forecasts on major weather threats, and access to comprehensive risk data. This data includes real-time and predictive insights on how weather is expected to impact key operations like shipment delays, road danger, power outages, flooding, and overall risk to daily business. Users can also monitor live disruptions such as storm damage, wildfires, road incidents, and lightning strikes as they occur.

This integration leverages WeatherOptics’ proprietary weather impact indices. The company specializes in translating weather data into actionable business impacts by combining hyperlocal weather predictions with non-weather variables such as hydrological and geospatial data. This creates sophisticated models that provide a granular depiction of weather’s effect on operations, generating insights that don’t just forecast the weather, but predict the impact.
