VISIBILITY INTO EVERYDAY Optimization
Making necessary Connections inside & outside your enterprise
Few distributed organizations have the people, resources, and operational processes in place to implement an enterprise-wide carbon emissions management strategy. The challenges of organizational boundary definition, determining materiality of carbon emissions across distributed locations, and capturing actionable intelligence all stress operations management.
Documenting the carbon management processes within an organization is the key success factor. A Sustainability Resource Planning (SRP) platform from Verisae include the tools and services to measure, manage, and monetize the carbon assets or liabilities associated with your organization’s emission management strategies.
Not only understanding the requirements for carbon reporting and disclosure but also having the internal processes to aggregate emissions data centrally is a mission critical to optimizing business operations. Internal resources and business processes should be in place to accurately measure and manage carbon emissions at the highest level in the organization as possible.
Improving Asset-Level Utilization & Business Operations
Through the aggregation of asset-level data around servicing, energy usage, and resulting carbon emissions, distributed organizations gain an unprecedented level of control and a set of management tools to fix inefficient processes. Business intelligence applied to an enterprise-wide solution moves an organization to a paperless workflow where time, levels of effort by service providers, and budget versus actual costs are now visible in near real-time. Determining the “true cost of ownership” for all assets dispersed across a global organization becomes as simple as running a report.
Saving Money Optimized Service Provider Management
Documenting service contracts, collecting accurate data on actual work completed, and auditing service companies on a regular basis enables action and enhanced operational management. Leaders and laggards become visible across their interactions with your distributed enterprise. Centralizing operational decisions helps to ring ROI out of service contracts, electronic invoicing, warranties, and equipment rebate usage.
Discovering the Hidden Costs of Doing Business
By layering business rules and logic on top of a centralized database, organizations can understand, often for the first time, where operational expenses are bleeding revenue from the bottom line. This level of knowledge means more opportunities for cost avoidance, revenue recapture, and operations optimization.
Once hidden costs across redundant processes, overpayment to vendors for unfinished work, or fines & fees paid during procurement become visible and within reach an enterprise process engineer can unlock the potential of an electronic workflow.
