What do sailing and data have in common? 

Sailing is a perfect metaphor for the world of data: both things require the skills to read the environment, identify opportunities and make quick, accurate decisions. 

Indicium, with its focus on data analysis and strategic decision-making, finds in Bruno Fontes a partner who embodies these skills.

And the company's connection with sport goes beyond shared values: CEO Matheus Dellagnelo was a two-time pan american champion sailor, and his deep relationship with sport was essential to his growth in the business world, resulting in great achievements here. 

Data, performance and strategies in competitions

The use of data analysis in sailing competitions can impact both the training and performance of athletes and the strategies for the competitions themselves.

For example...

• Using data to adjust training routes and simulate different weather and sea conditions, according to ongoing performance analysis.
• Use analysis of wind patterns and sea currents to optimize routes during competitions. 
• Use sensors to track the speed, direction and angle of the sail, as well as environmental conditions such as wind speed and current to make possible adjustments to the boat's configuration and sailing tactics during races.
• Using devices to monitor health and fitness data, preventing injuries and ensuring that the athlete is in the best possible shape by monitoring heart rate, stress levels and other physiological parameters.
• Studying the patterns of other competitors to develop specific overcoming strategies.

So, we can see that the combination of sport and data is very powerful, and the partnership between Indicium and Bruno Fontes exemplifies this.
