A global scientific instrumentation manufacturer required assistance in collecting relevant data from facilities around the world in order to be able to calculate its greenhouse gas inventory, and to monitor key environment, health and safety processes.

Prior to this, the client had used spreadsheet based systems that were emailed around to different end-users. While certainly functional, such data collection processes are prone to errors and data quality issues due to version-control and other issues. However, many of the commercially available software systems that are on the market are expensive, require the involvement of teams of software engineers to implement, and are more work than many clients are able to provide.

For this client, Sustainserv deployed the EcoBusiness software solution, a web-based platform that enables companies of all sizes to easily collect energy and other greenhouse gas relevant data from multiple facilities in a streamlined manner. In contrast to many other commercially available software systems out there, EcoBusiness ( which is available in multiple languages) is a rapidly deployed, customizable and highly cost effective system that is supported by Sustainserv's decade of experience in greenhouse gas accounting, and sustainability data systems.
