Vortexa
Enterprise only

Vortexa delivers real-time crude oil, refined products, and LNG flow analytics used by energy traders and analysts. Its strength is oil & gas: cargo tracking from loading to discharge, floating storage analysis, and refinery throughput signals. Outside energy, coverage drops sharply — grain, agriculture, and dry bulk are not Vortexa's focus, and there is no satellite crop intelligence or sanctions risk scoring.
