Transportation and Logistics weather software

Need an application that tracks, studies, or otherwise uses weather information? We can design tailor-made weather software to enable your business.

What is Weather Software?

Weather Software either uses observational data collected by Doppler radar, radiosondes, weather satellites, buoys, and other instruments are fed into computerized NWS numerical forecast models. The models use business and geospatial context, equations, along with new and past weather data, to provide the best forecast guidance.

Which Transportation and Logistics Companies Use Weather Forecasting?

Weather solutions have wide-ranging uses and can be found in nearly every industry or niche. Here are some bold examples.


The organization’s routes (which famously rarely turn left) are all optimized through their weather-enabled ORION system.

British Airways

Charting and planning flights require specific geospatial knowledge - which is why virtually all airlines rely on weather software.

U.S National Park Service

The weather software is used to monitor 85 million acres of natural and cultural resources. It’s also used in hazard warnings, as well as rescue.

Uber Freight

The company built real-time digital brokerage technology to help carriers and shippers and balance the goal of reliable transportation options with affordability during disasters


Amazon Forecast Weather Index – automatically include local weather to increase forecasting model accuracy for their retail clients and other users.
The company that uses React JS development - Atlassian


Controlant’s Cold Chain as a Service® platform use weather software to support the pharmaceutical, medical, and food industry and ensure that their cargo does not become damaged.

Why Do You Need Weather Forecasting Software?

Successful delivery demands real-time insights and smart, automatic advisory.

In logistics and transportation, being on time and meeting clients expectations are everything. Dispatchers need to aware and prepared for weather disasters threats to each shipment. Finding the best weather software provider is crucial to run a stable and effective business.

Where We Need Weather Forecasting Software?


Biggest global shipping leaders like USPS, FedEx, and UPS transport 534 million mails and packages daily. Weather is one of the main factors and increases the costs of the final delivery. Overall, transportation companies annually lose $3.5 million to severe weather events. Whether they are transporting on the ship, rail, or road, companies must plan for, monitor, and adjust when weather strikes.


Trucking is one of the most commonly reported modes of transportation that is impacted by weather. While many consumers are sympathetic, significant delays are still frustrating. Heavy snowfall and ice can cause blocked roadways and traffic jams in colder climates. Large amounts of rainfall can cause localized urban flooding, often leaving roadways impassable for days.

Air transportation

Weather is also one of the leading causes of delays in airline operations, particularly in the mid-latitudes, which are generally more prone to widespread thunderstorms. Airports located in areas prone to visibility issues, can offer a challenge when planning early-morning flights. In mountainous areas, low clouds and fog can bring dangerous conditions, often inhibiting how quickly flights can land. All of this can lead to costly flight delays, which trickle down into delayed deliveries and missed deadlines.

Water transportation

Though visibilities can play a role in water-based travel, areas of high-sustained wind speeds and associated wave heights offer unique challenges to shipping. High ocean waves and squalls are usually associated with large tropical systems, but high-sustained wind speeds over the top layer of the ocean can also bring wave challenges for travel. Having access to accurate weather data can help plan a route that optimizes time and fuel, leading to savings ranging from 4-10%.

General safety

Additionally, it is not only a matter of logistics chain costs optimization but is also a very important safety factor. In reference to U.S. Department of Transportation statistics:

- 22% of vehicle crashes are weather-related
- 19% of crash injuries are weather-related
- 16% of crash fatalities are weather-related

Benefits of Weather Software Development


Decision Making


Operational Efficiency

Companies use weather data to plan optimal routes or secure the most strategic locations for their physical premises, for the most cost-efficiency.



Automation and Safety

With weather-enabled software, tasks like location-based weather alert reporting and route planning can be automated. This saves lives, time, and money along the way, freeing resources for more important tasks.
