Competitive Edge
Direct Competitors : Skymet
• While retaining similar forecasting abilities and an international footprint, most
direct competitors do not maintain an integrated capability in Insurance &
Underwriting and Analytics & Big Data.
• Better funded than WRL
Institutional Competitors : NCMSL, IMD
• Competing only in the DATA space
Target Competition: Climate Corporation
• Strong Analytics and R&D capabilities geared for mature market like the US.
Weaker than WRL integrated capabilities. WRL alternative YOURFARMINFO is
more relevant for the larger global market in Africa and Asia.
