How can our Lightning Alert service help you?

Critical decisions made easy

The Total Lightning Network is a key consideration across many industries. If your business or supply chain operates out in the open or in the air, your company could be at risk.

Visualise approaching storms as our customisable GIS system, Stormtracker, plots strike data across your site and infrastructure. This enables enhanced understanding of the potential risk inherent in each severe weather system and how storms produce hazardous conditions. Integrated satellite technology improves tracking accuracy, while real-time weather forecasts provide deeper insights into developing thunderstorm activity and potential disruptions.

Personal push notifications give users real-time severe weather and lightning alerts, based on their phone’s GPS position, enhancing their awareness of personal risk. Users can see lightning as it happens and track associated precipitation, ensuring more informed decision-making.

Lightning strike history is archived for over five years, enabling you to extract the reportable data required for risk assessments or insurance claims, with advanced calculation tools ensuring precise analysis.

The brightest minds to help light the way.
