Within the first 10 months of ditching spreadsheets and launching their Benchmark Gensuite solution, the enterprise was able to:
With ambitious plans for continued global expansion, a multi-specialty chemical company had outgrown using spreadsheets to collect and trend on environmental, health, and safety data across its sites.
Maintaining real-time visibility of safety observations and inspections at the site, department, and equipment-specific levels was challenging if not impossible with multiple spreadsheets.
Tracking site-specific regulatory obligations and corrective actions to completion also required manual follow up to ensure these critical tasks were reviewed and completed on-schedule.
It was time-consuming and labor-intensive for leaders to evaluate each location’s progress towards enterprise-wide EHS performance goals, especially as the organization continued to expand.
The company needed a comprehensive EHS management solution to:
In its search for an EHS software platform, the enterprise had several goals for its solution. With operations in 58 countries, the system needed to be easy to use for all employees, no matter what language they speak.
The enterprise selected Benchmark Gensuite because it offered:
The Benchmark team worked closely with the enterprise’s EHS leadership team to identify the applications that would meet their objectives.
Next, specific configurations were defined and implemented to meet its data collection needs at site- and department-specific levels. The organization also worked with the Benchmark Gensuite team to ensure its solution addressed its global, regional, and site-specific compliance requirements.
Within three months, the organization had implemented our Incident Management, Action Tracking System, Compliance Calendar, and Inspection Tool enterprise-wide. After a successful start, they then launched the Waste Tracker, Training Tracker, and Safety Risk Assessments at 34 specific sites based on their operational needs as the next phase of their deployment.
Directly after implementation, the organization started seeing value from their solution.
Employees across the globe could now quickly record safety activities at any time using their preferred languages. With the help of our best-rated mobile app, workers in the field also gained the ability to record near misses, inspections, behavior-based safety observations, and assign corrective actions on the spot to draw attention to issues and risks that need to be addressed.
Workers and supervisors received automatic reminders of coming due assignments. Dashboards provided complete visibility into the status of all tasks, saving supervisors from sending emails or manually following up on coming due or overdue assignments. The result? Over one thousand corrective and preventative action plans were completed on or before their required due dates.
Leaders could consistently measure individual sites’ progress towards enterprise EHS performance goals, spot and address roadblocks, and communicate effectively across sites to bring all objectives to completion. With the help of Benchmark Gensuite, the organization completely digitized and transformed its EHS data collection in three months and achieved its program’s strategic goals within ten.
