DTN Unveils New Platform for Operational Decision-Making
DTN, a global provider of analytics for energy, agriculture, and weather-driven industries, has announced the launch of its Operational Decisioning Platform, a new enterprise technology designed to improve how companies navigate market complexity. The platform aims to help users make better decisions under pressure by combining real-time data, artificial intelligence, and industry-specific workflows.
The launch comes as businesses face mounting challenges, from supply chain volatility to extreme weather events. A recent PwC survey cited by DTN found that 42% of CEOs believe their organizations won’t survive the next decade without fundamental reinvention—largely due to ineffective decision-making systems.
Sector-Specific Hubs Power the Platform
The Operational Decisioning Platform is built around three core hubs:
- Ag Hub: Offers a real-time digital view of modern agriculture, drawing on data from 95% of U.S. farms. It supports better pricing, inventory, and sustainability decisions with insights into cash bids, carbon scoring, and input supply trends.
- Fuel Operations Hub: Supports the daily pricing and billing for 85% of North America’s fuel supply chain. This hub connects buyers, sellers, and traders through real-time logistics and inventory data, helping users respond to market shifts and optimize margins.
- Weather Hub: Delivers localized forecasting and risk modeling to sectors like aviation, logistics, and utilities. With inputs from over 70,000 sensors and 180 meteorologists, the hub translates complex weather data into operational guidance.
Platform Designed for Speed and Confidence
DTN CEO Patrick Schneidau emphasized that the platform was created to help operational leaders act decisively in unpredictable conditions. “This platform gives operational leaders the clarity, speed, and confidence to act no matter the level of volatility,” he said.
Users in live event management, like Aaron Schellinger of Danny Wimmer Presents, have already cited its effectiveness: “In live events, every decision impacts our crews, artists, and fans. This platform and the meteorologists at DTN give us the confidence to act decisively, knowing we’re backed by the best data available.”
DTN Sharpens Focus on Operational Intelligence
The launch of the Operational Decisioning Platform reflects DTN’s broader shift toward helping executives in high-stakes industries make more informed decisions at scale. For over four decades, DTN has served companies in agriculture, energy, and infrastructure. With this platform, it aims to provide “decision-grade” data and AI tools tailored to the realities of modern operational challenges.
