Weather and Climate Analytics
Weather impacts nearly every human activity. We often take it for granted, but many of the decisions people make each day are based on current weather or the expected weather. The first cool weather of the season brings people into stores looking to update their wardrobe. A warm spring day encourages people to check out the bedding plants at their local nursery. A hot summer day often causes a spike in beverage sales. Every business maintains records of inventory and sales. Some get very specific by tracking product placement on store shelves. Many leading companies are now learning that incorporating weather into their sales and marketing analysis can provide valuable insights. AWIS can help you quantify how weather drives sales and help you make better decisions on inventory, logistics, staffing, and give you better knowledge about your business.
