What’s inside?
Windward is proud to announce a significant milestone in our journey: reaching 200 customers.
The success we have achieved for and with our ocean freight, trading and shipping, and government customers stems from our ability to provide innovative technology and services that produce AI-powered, actionable insights.
Customers choose Windward and then stay with us for the cost-savings, greater efficiency, strategic decision-making, and the ability to rapidly facilitate global trade.
Our Journey & Customer-Centric Approach
We began our journey mainly collaborating with government agencies and meeting their unique needs. That’s still an important part of what we do, but as our discussions and relationships expanded throughout the maritime ecosystem, we recognized that the results we were helping govt. agencies achieve could be extended to other sectors.
This realization led to a strategic expansion into the trading and shipping sector, where Windward’s Maritime AI™ platform was a natural fit. More recently, we’ve established ourselves as a rising leader in the realm of ocean freight and container tracking, a move that marks another significant evolution in our ongoing journey.
One of the standout features of our customer-centric approach is our ability to provide actionable insights. By tapping into vast amounts of maritime and logistics data and leveraging advanced analytics, Windward’s Maritime AI™ platform enables customers to make informed and strategic decisions.
Whether it’s eliminating false negatives and false positives to facilitate quick trading, flagging potential risks, or offering the most accurate ETAs and exception management for container shipping, the platform is designed to put the power of Maritime AI™ into the hands of the customers.
Our Windward User Group allows customers to optimize existing workflows, learn from colleagues’ experiences, and gain new skills. And Windward’s Customer Success Team is also always there to support our customers, whether it be via training sessions, or on how to implement our latest features.
Here’s a great explanation of how our technology works: look into the “engine room.”
Keeping You Agile and Flexible
The maritime and supply chain ecosystems change rapidly, meaning you need agility and flexibility, which results from understanding past, present, and future trends, and possessing a technology base that empowers you to react quickly and strategically.
Windward frequently launches new features and updates to provide maximum value to our customers in this dynamic landscape, which has been a key factor in our success. After Russia invaded Ukraine, upending the global ecosystem and triggering cascading regulations and sanctions, we launched a Russia Sanctions Compliance solution and worked (and are still working!) tirelessly to offer insights and analyze new trends.
Windward’s recently-launched Route Deviation Alerts is another example. It can improve supply chain management following the outbreak of the Red Sea crisis.
The Right Leaders & Trusted Advisor Status
As noted in the section about Windward’s journey, our leadership team has been able to match the organization’s strengths to industry needs, deftly steering the ship through the inevitable waves and storms.
Throughout the years, we have been replied upon by our customers as a trusted advisor. Major media outlets also depend upon Windward’s experts to offer AI-powered insights that explain what is happening and what is likely to occur.
Whether that is a BBC News interview with our tireless Co-Founder and CEO, Ami Daniel, a front-page The New York Times article, or an Associated Press article pre-2020, our insights help lead the important industry conversations and educate the general public.
Integrating Maritime Expertise with Advanced Technology
AI has recently become something of a buzzword, following the generative AI explosion – who doesn’t love ChatGPT? But not all AI is created equal – it’s important to understand how long technology vendors have been in the AI business and whether they have actual maritime experts training the AI models.
Windward is a pioneer that has been deep into Maritime AI™ for over a decade, and we recognize the importance of staying at the forefront of digital transformation.
Decades of industry experience is a key differentiator for understanding the unique challenges and intricacies of the maritime world. This extensive knowledge ensures that the technology solutions developed by Windward are not only state-of-the-art, but also practical and aligned with the realities of the maritime and supply chain industries.
By merging the expertise of seasoned professionals with leading technology, Windward offers customers a holistic solution that considers both the technological and human elements of maritime operations.
Looking Forward
Windward’s ability to blend deep maritime expertise with cutting-edge AI solutions has set us apart in the industry and driven our success in meeting the diverse needs of our customers. As we celebrate this milestone, Windward remains dedicated to continuously evolving and providing unparalleled actionable insights to the maritime world, so we can offer even better results to both our existing and next 200 customers.
