Ecova,
a total energy and sustainability management company, today announced
the availability of the Ecova
Energy and Sustainability Management Platform, an enterprise
software solution designed to help commercial and industrial clients
manage, analyze and report on their resource usage data through a single
intuitive platform. The Ecova Platform is the foundation for energy and
sustainability management, and provides businesses with the insights
needed to increase operational efficiency, reduce costs, and achieve
sustainability goals.
“Energy and sustainability management is no longer a ‘nice to have,’ it
is critical to the bottom line and market leadership,” said Jeff
Heggedahl, president and CEO of Ecova. “Gaining broad visibility and
precise insight through a single platform can help build lasting
advantages for a client’s business and the environment. Our depth and
breadth of experience coupled with the industry-leading Ecova Data
Warehouse guided us as we built a scalable solution to meet the
needs of today’s organizations – no matter where they are on their
energy and sustainability management journey. The result is a platform
that delivers powerful business insights and drives action.”
With the Ecova Platform, organizations will have an all-in-one solution
that removes the need to go to separate applications or databases for
facility, accounting, cost and resource consumptive data – all
significant drivers of data and accounting irregularities. The Platform
offers at-a-glance customizable access, information and reporting
features depending on the role and need in an organization, while
configuration and reporting tools provide insight across the broad
spectrum of energy and sustainability management – including
electricity, natural gas, water, waste, telecom or carbon.
“The Ecova Platform has been a huge asset in managing Walgreens energy
and sustainability needs in our stores,” said Paul Silk, manager of
utilities for Walgreens. “The Platform’s customized dashboard is easy to
understand and helps us better visualize our energy data. Using the
Platform helps us to identify and manage locations which fall above
usage benchmarks in order to significantly reduce operational costs.”
The Platform is built on next-generation technology architecture that
delivers the scalability and security that large-scale organizations
require. Enhanced reporting and viewing features give users the
capability to gauge consumption and cost trends at the macro level or
drill down into the individual bill, line item or location.
