Spectee Pro

Spectee Inc. is a Tokyo-based crisis intelligence company headquartered in Gobancho, Chiyoda, led by CEO Kenjiro Murakami. It helps companies and public bodies see disasters and disruptions as they happen, and released the first Spectee service in 2014.

Spectee Pro, launched in March 2020, uses AI to collect and analyse social media posts, about 10,000 road and river cameras, Japan Meteorological Agency and local alerts, satellite imagery and vehicle probe data, and shows them on a map. It sends voice, email and app alerts when events occur near registered sites, and combines weather data, satellite images and past data to estimate current flood extent and predict damage areas. An API dataset lets clients feed the information into their own systems. Users include manufacturers, logistics firms, infrastructure operators, media and local governments.

• Crisis information collection: AI filters social media, cameras, weather and alert data by area, event and keyword.
• Site alerts: Voice, email and smartphone notifications when events occur near registered locations.
• Flood estimation: Combines weather data, satellite images and past data to map current and expected inundation.
• River monitoring: Shows the status of rivers nationwide on one screen.
• Logistics route risk: Uses vehicle probe data to detect disruptions and suggest alternative routes.
• API dataset: Delivers Spectee data into existing software and applications.

• A Japanese-invested automotive parts maker in Vietnam monitors typhoon and flood events around its plants and tier-2 suppliers.
• A logistics company tracks road disruptions during heavy rain and reroutes deliveries.
• An industrial park operator receives site alerts and flood estimates to coordinate tenant response.

• Detects disasters and incidents near factories, warehouses and suppliers within moments of occurrence, speeding up initial response.
• Fact-checked crisis information reduces confusion from the flood of unverified social media posts during disasters.
• Estimates flood extent and likely damage areas to support business continuity decisions.
• Fixed monthly pricing, a free trial and an API that works with existing systems without replacing them.

More frequent typhoons, floods and heatwaves are pushing manufacturers and logistics firms to strengthen business continuity planning and supply chain risk management with real-time data. Vietnam's export manufacturing, much of it run by Japanese and other foreign investors, was disrupted by events such as Typhoon Yagi in 2024, raising demand for location-based alerts and flood information for plants and suppliers.
