The collaboration aims to help UK businesses and organisations mitigate the growing risks of surface water flooding.
Under the agreement, Previsico’s cutting-edge flood forecasting solutions will be integrated into Esri UK’s services through an API, enabling Esri UK’s clients across sectors like utilities, transport, architecture, engineering, construction (AEC), housing, local and central government, retail, real estate, and non-profits to access real-time flood insights.
Previsico’s solutions combine geospatial data, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and advanced flood modelling to provide businesses with actionable insights to prepare for, respond to, and prevent flood impacts. These tools are already utilised by insurers such as Liberty, Zurich, and Generali, public sector entities like National Grid and National Rail, and numerous corporations and small-to-medium enterprises.
Jonathan Jackson, CEO of Previsico, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership “We are delighted to be working with Esri. Through our partnership, the synergies between us can be clearly leveraged to a wider audience, helping to support a greater breadth of businesses in their response to floods, pollution, and damage to assets and infrastructure.”
Nicola King, Data Partner Manager at Esri UK, also highlighted the collaboration’s value “Esri UK is thrilled to welcome Previsico as a new member of the Esri Partner Network. Previsico’s cutting-edge data solutions will empower our customers across various industries to proactively address flood risks, optimize operations, and safeguard their assets.”
The partnership will focus on enhancing Esri UK’s offerings for its existing clients while opening new opportunities for businesses and communities to better manage surface water flood risks. Looking ahead, the collaboration could expand to Esri’s global network of 650,000 clients, bringing Previsico’s advanced flood forecasting solutions to organisations worldwide.
Previsico’s forecasting technology incorporates data from the UK Met Office and its US counterpart, alongside IoT-enabled ground devices and advanced modelling, to address the increasingly critical issue of surface water flooding in the UK and beyond.
