The challenge
Severe weather was disrupting deliveries and the bottom line
Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits (SGWS), a leading distributor, faced significant disruptions to its business operations due to fast-changing and often severe weather conditions across its various locations.
These disruptions impacted logistics, delivery schedules and, ultimately, profitability. Southern Glazer's needed a comprehensive solution that provided live data, customizable alerts, integrated camera feeds and historical weather analysis to mitigate these risks.
The solution
Tailored systems for every site, plus custom tools
Weatherstem collaborated closely with SGWS to develop and implement tailored weather monitoring solutions for each of their operational sites. Recognizing that a one-size-fits-all approach wouldn't suffice, Weatherstem designed "severe weather ready" systems engineered for continuous data transmission, even during intense weather events.
In 2023, Weatherstem launched a pilot program, deploying 13 systems across SGWS' Southeastern locations. Following the success of this phase, the partnership expanded in 2024 to include an additional 13 locations. Weatherstem also partnered with SGWS to create a suite of custom tools:
Custom dashboard
A centralized, real-time view of critical weather conditions, alerts and camera feeds for all locations.
Seamless integration with Noggin
Weatherstem data and alerts built into SGWS' existing incident management platform for better operational awareness and response.
