Business Challenge
Pelmorex is a global leader in providing accurate weather forecasts, alerts and insights. Its mission is to keep communities safe and empower people and businesses to make informed, smart and confident decisions in the face of evolving and unpredictable weather conditions. As the company expanded its platform across North America, the team needed a scalable and cost-effective solution that could provide broader pollen coverage, particularly for U.S.-based users and Canadians traveling across the border.
Benefits
- Scalable coverage: Enabled pollen data delivery across the U.S., supporting users at home and on the move
- Lower operational cost: Achieving cost efficiencies while obtaining larger data sets
- Smooth implementation: Fast rollout with minimal lift for developers, supported by clear documentation
“I had a ton of questions during implementation, and Woolpert always got me the answers right away. The documentation was strong, and the whole process was smooth from the start.”

Working With Woolpert
Woolpert provided onboarding support, product expertise, and implementation guidance throughout the process. Karen Ahmed, Product Operations Manager at Pelmorex, noted “I had a ton of questions during implementation, and Woolpert always got me the answers right away. The documentation was strong, and the whole process was smooth from the start.”
The Solution
To address the need for greater scale and flexibility for the US market, Pelmorex adopted Google’s Pollen API, part of the Environmental Data APIs within Google Maps Platform, as the API offered a computed data approach with significantly broader geographic reach. The team was able to implement the new solution quickly, supported by detailed documentation and responsive guidance from Woolpert and Google.
