ClimaChain, the industry’s only pollen-driven demand forecasting app, is now live on Insight Cloud, the analytics app store developed by Seek, where data meets apps. From Insight Cloud, businesses can instantly discover, subscribe to, and deploy ready-to-use apps for any use case.
The ClimaChain launch provides retail pharmacy chains, pharmaceutical brands, and consumer health companies a direct way to access long-term and hyperlocal pollen-driven demand forecasts that connect real-world signals to actual sales performance.
ClimaChain on Insight Cloud
A partnership built for smarter, faster demand planning
For most retail pharmacy and consumer health teams, the seasonality of pollen is well understood. Its impact on allergy product sales is widely recognized, but it has never been actionable in a way that demand planners could use to make precise business decisions. ClimaChain changes that. It is the first and only app that converts pollen and environmental patterns into forecasts and insights that are hyper-local, down to the store and SKU.
The result has been empty shelves in high-risk locations, excess stock where demand never materialized, and promotional timing driven by last year’s sales instead of this week’s risk. Businesses that have attempted to build climate-aware forecasting in-house have meant months of development, fragmented data sources, and missed insights that are not bringing actionable business intelligence.
With ClimaChain now available as an app on Insight Cloud, all of that complexity is removed. Teams can upload internal POS data and instantly access store-SKU level, historical impacts, pollen-driven demand forecasts, all from a single pane of glass in the same marketplace where they already find and subscribe to other high-value insights, and start deploying them the same day.
What ClimaChain brings to Insight Cloud
ClimaChain is built to give planners, category managers, and supply chain leaders the clearest possible view of climate-driven demand signals and shifts. With its modular and flexible approach, ClimaChain allows teams to activate only the capabilities they need, whether it is forecasting, inventory analytics, or climate insights. This makes the app easy to scale across functions while ensuring every feature directly supports business outcomes.
Demand forecast
Analyze and act on 4-week rolling pollen-driven demand forecasts by store and SKU. Compare performance across products and regions, prioritize inventory based on location and brand-specific insights, and validate accuracy with built-in reports.
Climate insights
Track species-level pollen trends, temperature, humidity, and influenza risk for every store. View week-over-week and year-over-year seasonal changes, identify which stores, zip codes, and distribution centers are most at risk, and uncover where climate factors are already influencing demand.
Inventory analytics
Pinpoint stockouts, understocking, and excess inventory. Compare inventory levels against sales over time, and instantly run opportunity cost analysis to measure potential gains from improved availability.
Alert center
Set your own risk thresholds and get alerts on your dashboard and by email before demand shifts happen.
ClimaChain has already delivered up to 50x ROI, improved forecast accuracy by 20% and captured 7% incremental sales across thousands of stores. Three of the top five OTC allergy drug brands rely on ClimaChain to forecast demand smarter across thousands of major large-chain retail outlets.
These brands use ClimaChain not just to protect availability during peak pollen season, but also to optimize promotional timing, improve replenishment, and reduce waste in low-risk areas.
ClimaChain’s value extends well beyond allergy symptom mitigation. Respiratory products, cold and flu remedies, and even certain skincare categories see measurable shifts in demand based on environmental conditions such as pollen, air quality, and humidity. ClimaChain was designed to adapt to any product category where climate plays a role, opening up new opportunities across the consumer health and wellness landscape.
Whether it is preventing out-of-stocks on antihistamines in high-risk regions, anticipating respiratory medication demand during dry and dusty weeks, or positioning moisturizers ahead of low-humidity seasons, ClimaChain gives teams the foresight they need to act with precision.
