Yes — Helios has a proven track record of helping companies both reduce costs and better manage risk.
Reducing Costs and Making Money
A great example comes from Libby’s, a leading canned fruit and vegetable brand.
Using Helios’s climate risk forecasts, Libby’s identified heavy rainfall in key mandarin-producing regions of China six weeks before the market reacted. By acting early, they secured a year’s supply before prices rose, saving 15% on procurement costs. That kind of foresight doesn’t just protect budgets — it improves margins and strengthens supplier relationships.
Additional examples include:
Helios’s relationship with Walmart, where we help the sourcing or surety of supply teams stay ahead of long-term price fluctuations, find new areas to dedicate time and resources into sourcing from, and predict long-term yield outcomes, likelihood of climate change affecting supply and more.
Helios’s relationship with Arthur Trading, where we help the trader look for specific climate-related opportunities to maximize their alpha on trades
Managing Risk Across Volatile Supply Chains
Helios’s tools — especially the CommodiTrack™ platform — help companies see climate-related risks before they hit production and pricing. Our regional climate profiles, WA%R (Weighted Average % Risk) ratings, and price forecasts give procurement teams the confidence to make proactive sourcing and hedging decisions, reducing exposure to sudden market shifts.
For companies worried about climate-related supply disruptions, Helios boasts an average 91% accuracy rate in catching climate-related supply disruptions.
Outstanding Track Record in Climate Supply Disruption Detection
Helios’s backtesting across three commodity classes—pineapples, table grapes, and durum wheat—shows a high detection accuracy for climate-related supply disruptions:
Commodity/ Detection Rate
Pineapple 92.3%
Table grapes 87.1%
Durum wheat 93.6%
These high rates confirm that Helios will flag most real disruptions before they hit markets.
