Use Cases

Gas Supplier

A bottled gas supplier knows that demand for gas rises dramatically during periods of cold weather. They send out a weather triggered SMS and email campaign to customers in affected areas, stating that temperatures are due to fall sharply, and to stock up on bottled gas. Because the message is hyper-targeted, contextually relevant, and provides valuable content, it generates a massive lift in sales. 

Hospitals

When the temperature falls even by 1°C below a threshold, hospitals become flooded with weather related injuries (669,000 in the UK in Dec 2012). In order to effectively manage resources, Health Trusts allocate additional staff from Staff Bank to hospitals located in high risk areas. By integrating WeatherTrigger into their staff management platform, Health Trusts can more effectively manage staffing, based on intelligent forecast data. 

Smart Grids

WeatherTrigger offers smart grids a flexible solution for power-flow control management at the application level.
