nowcast
Challenge
The company nowcast measures lightning strikes throughout Europe and makes the data available to insurance companies. To enable reliable and exact settlements, accurate geocoding - which is the linking of raw data of the lightning strike with the street data - is indispensable.
Solution
nowcast relies on MapMarker® from Pitney Bowes Software; a division of Pitney Bowes Inc. MapMarker is a very efficient, extensively scaleable tool, which transfers the geocoded addresses of the entire Federal Republic of Germany to a company’s application server. The application is 100 percent Java-based and is platform independent. The business data is linked to the geocoded addresses via standardised APIs.
