One of the world’s largest logistics providers received an email alert from the Seerist platform warning of potential impacts to their Mediterranean transportation and shipping operations due to increasing civil unrest in Italy stemming from skyrocketing fuel prices.

With over 30 staff members spread across ten Ukrainian cities, a technology company needed to know how events on the ground were affecting those people and their operations. To do so, they tasked their security team with providing three situation reports per day for their executives so they could stay abreast of the situation. Instead of attempting to corral and coordinate enough analysts who could handle the rapid-fire workload, the team turned to the Seerist platform. With it, they could monitor stability in each of the cities, verify events instead of depending on noise-filled chatter, and rely on human analysis to confirm what was happening on the ground. These insights also allowed the team to understand the broader implications of each event, which helped company leaders make smarter strategic decisions more quickly.

Thanks to the combined efforts of our AI and on-the-ground analysts, our clients had ample time to act as the sought to protect their people, assets, and interests.

Each of those events, along with other contextual intel and analysis, filled our clients’ daily alerts about the growing tensions in the region. Allowing them to take whatever steps they deemed necessary to safeguard their own people and operations.
