Why Benchmark Labs?

Intelligent Insights

Created by experts for everyday users. We bring the best available scientific tools and datasets to improve our users’ decision-making process.

Personalized Attention

We provide asset-specific weather forecasts for the agricultural sector and other fixed asset verticals.

Team Work

We operate in an environment defined by collaboration and continuous improvement. Those characteristics are also embedded in our forecasts.

Innovation

Modern weather models produce forecasts for grid cells, but not for specific locations within grid cells. As a result, forecasts are often inaccurate and can lead to significant financial losses.
