The Earth is constantly sending signals. Vegetation stress weeks before a harvest shortfall. Urban growth patterns that reshape consumer demand and catastrophic flooding events that close distribution corridors before a logistics team has seen a weather alert. The data exists and the science is mature, but for most enterprises, these physical-world signals have remained out of reach because they are too complex to operationalize and too disconnected from the systems where supply chain decisions actually get made.
EY and Xoople, building together on Microsoft, set out to close that gap. Combining EY’s deep supply chain consulting experience and enterprise client relationships with Xoople’s scientific-grade Earth data, grounded in the infrastructure of Microsoft Planetary Computer Pro, Fabric, and Foundry, the three companies have built a solution that brings geospatial intelligence into enterprise demand forecasting and scenario planning as a first-class data source that is accessible so that the right data is available at the right time.
The result is not proof of concept. It is an enterprise-ready capability, already in use with global clients, with a clear pathway to scale.
