Accurate weather forecasts are extremely important to us. We can’t just send out all our staff at once — we often have to alert specific parts of our winter service area locally. Working with Weather Solutions and having direct personal contact with the meteorologists is incredibly valuable to us and has become an indispensable part of our operations.

The Challenge
The winter service provider Borchers operates throughout the greater Hamburg area in Germany.
