About this project

For Weerexperts, IJsSoft developed a web application that allows the team to process weather data. Based on this data, various weather maps and dashboards are automatically generated. These maps and dashboards are then automatically delivered to customers' systems. By automating most of these processes, the team can focus more on the meteorological aspects of their work.

Weerexperts is one of the leading companies in the field of meteorological services and weather data in the Netherlands. The Weerexperts team provides radio and television broadcasts for various regional broadcasters in the Netherlands. They support the broadcasters not only by supplying the presenters but also by handling the technical side, such as weather maps and forecasts.

Weerexperts also offers weather monitoring services for events and festivals. IJsSoft created a dashboard with all relevant weather data and hazard alerts needed by the organization before, during, and after the event. Live data for the upcoming hours appears directly on the control room screen.

Roland van der Zwaag, director of Weerexperts, says: "The dashboard is a welcome addition to our weather monitoring services. Of course, we are present during the event, but with this unique tool, the organization can assess potential hazards much faster and more accurately. Having live data for the coming hours is crucial."

Weerexperts serves its clients around the clock, so IJsSoft provides an on-call service and solid monitoring. Through smart integrations with Weerexperts’ data providers, we can not only process current information quickly, but also immediately detect and address any outages or malfunctions. We monitor everything and can see within seconds if a disruption occurs anywhere in the process.

Bastiaan Verhoeven, director of IJsSoft: "The delivery of weather data must never fail. When Weerexperts came to us, their organization depended on a web environment with limited capabilities. Failures were frequent, and current weather information didn’t always reach the broadcasters. We mapped out the processes, standardized where possible, and built a web environment with strong monitoring and duplicated processes."

Roland says: "We are very satisfied with how IJsSoft thinks along with us about technical solutions and how things can be done even smarter and better. Tools have been built that fit perfectly with our processes, and much has now been automated. That makes us happy. We also have no concerns about outages, everything runs smoothly. And if something does happen, IJsSoft handles it and is there for us."
