Data is, and has always been, an essential business tool. But the power and advantage of today’s data-driven decisions lies in the ability to gather, interpret, and deliver those data points in such a way that organizations can make agile and confident decisions at any moment.

‍

This ability to surface, interpret and deliver industry-specific intelligence is at the heart of the innovation DTN delivers. Complex data sets are tapped, modelled, and layered with expert insight and analysis. This essential intelligence is then delivered through technologies that are easily accessible and scalable for dynamic market needs.

‍

“Our mission is to empower our customers with intelligent and actionable insights to run their organization in a much better way,” says DTN CEO Marc Chesover.

Operational Intelligence Improves Vulnerable Supply Chains

‍

As the primary mechanism for delivering goods in a global economy, supply chains are indispensable for people’s daily life. They are also highly vulnerable because of the complex interdependencies and sensitivity to disruption. This is where data and digitization has become more critical.

‍

“Companies need data for indications of disruptions to the supply chain, but more importantly, they need operational intelligence that lets you know what to do to return from a disruption to your supply chain,” says Lars Ewe, Chief Product and Technology Officer at DTN.

‍

Operational intelligence is an accurate reflex index for decision makers because it offers insights in real time that support the ability to quickly course correct, improve safety, capitalize on efficiencies, or take early advantage of opportunities.

‍

For instance, DTN uses atmospheric and oceanic models combined with vessel characteristics to deliver both advance and in-transit shipping routes that result in improved efficiencies and reductions in carbon emissions for shipping companies.

‍

That kind of operational intelligence drives the innovation that DTN brings to each of the industries it serves. For downstream oil and gas, operators tap into real time DTN insights from an ensemble of energy market data in near real time to optimize buying, selling and delivery decisions. DTN agronomic, grain market, weather, and field condition data supports decisions that improve production and sustainable farming practices. For other industries, DTN intelligence supports advance planning for asset protection as well as in-the-moment safety decisions as weather conditions unfold. These DTN solutions are often critical to an organization’s decision-making as it moves to optimize and protect its part of the supply chain.

Innovation That Delivers Actionable Insights

‍

“Actionable insights require multiple processes working in concert”

• A deep understanding of the industry
• Data expertise of the multiple data sets that have relevant impact on the industry
• Scalable technology that organizations can readily access
• Integrated processes to deliver real-time insights

‍

The intersection of these centers of expertise is what makes DTN an innovator, bringing positive disruptions to complex, often manually managed, supply chains.

‍

As Marc Chesover explains, “There are controllable and uncontrollable risks. And when we are able to address the uncontrollable risks and leverage the insights, supply chains become ever increasingly more efficient.”
