Witness Terminal

Firsthand reports, and everything around them.

Witness Terminal is a live event monitoring workspace for teams. It brings firsthand reports together with ships, flights, cameras, outages, news and prices at the same place and time, so your team can investigate what happened and decide what to do.

01One report

It starts with one person who is there.

A report is more than a picture. It arrives with where and when it was captured, recorded at the moment of capture, and it keeps a confidence that moves as other people and other evidence come in.

02One event

Many reports become one event.

When several people report the same place and time, Witness builds one event and keeps every report attached: what was seen, what is claimed, what is disputed, what nobody knows yet, and how the record changed with each new report.

Event history: five versions, from the first report of smoke to the fire spreading to a second roof section
03One situation

Bigger events stay together.

Related events nearby are grouped by place and time into one situation, so a team sees the whole thing instead of four separate alerts.

  2. 15:42Expressway lanes closed near the terminal
  3. 16:22Smoke and a burning smell downwind
  4. 16:46Trucks queuing outside the terminal gate

04Everything around it

Then line it up with everything else.

Open any event and look around it: everything recorded at that place and time, within the distance you choose. Your own data sits on the same map.

Witness reports come from people who are there. Everything else on the map shows what they touch.

05What it means for money

Put the event next to the price.

Watch a price for a move and see what is happening at the places behind it. Compare commodity history, and keep the event and the move on one screen when you explain the call.

A response with steps and owners, and the decision record with what was known at the time
06The decision

Decide, and keep the record.

Alerts reach the right people in Slack, Teams or email. Each one ends in a decision with an owner. Responses keep the steps and what was known when you decided, and if a report behind a decision changes later, the decision is flagged.

Use cases

Monitor sites, routes, and the events that affect them.

Monitor incidents near a siteWatch an area around a warehouse, office or venue for nearby incidents. Review the evidence and surrounding activity before deciding whether to change access, shifts or deliveries.
Investigate port and route disruptionsWhen a shipment is delayed, look at reports around the port or route alongside available ship and flight activity, outages and news.
Reconstruct what happened at a placeUse the event history and place-and-time view to see what was recorded, when it changed, and what the team knew when it made a decision.
Put commodity prices in contextReview commodity prices alongside reports and disruptions at places that matter to the market. Use the context to decide what warrants a closer look.
