What we do - Sustainability

By aggregating key data elements into a well designed business model and a securely governed data platform, sustainability managers can begin to make informed decisions, create change, and be better stewards. Many complex systems such as global fisheries or energy production are unsustainable by nature and due to scale. In order to create change and better manage complex systems, we need to better understand the data surrounding them.

Our Value

Improving sustainability relies on partnerships, not just projects. Our sustainability work comes from trusted partnerships with non-governmental organizations (NGOs), domain experts, and solutions providers. First and foremost, we serve as an independent advisor; this is the cornerstone of all our projects, in both strategy and engineering.

Data Strategy

  • Strategic Planning - for longevity
  • Expertise in Multiple Industries - reaching beyond sustainability
  • Neutrality - objective viewpoints with multiple stakeholders
  • Translation - between sustainability and technology business needs

Fisheries Data Strategy & Management

Working with industry partners, consult and assist in the development of an international program to demonstrate the delivery of an efficient Electronic Monitoring (EM) program in commercial fisheries at scale.

Additionally, develop a Data Platform and data management system to facilitate the transfer, storage, governance, and reporting of EM data.

  • Development and design of an efficient EM program delivery at scale
  • Identifying and communicating value and incentives in the program for all stakeholders
  • Building of a custom and centralized data platform built to house data from hundreds of vessels, multiple supply chain partners, EM providers, and analysts
  • Stewardship and governance of all program data
  • Ensuring both the program and data structures are built with future use cases and technology in mind

Sustainable Spaces

Helping cities and local governments improve their management and sustainability efforts while ensuring equitable access to services. As part of this initiative we worked with a U.S. mobility company introducing e-scooters to European cities. Our expertise in data management allowed us to create a secure data platform for the operation, rental, and maintenance of their fleet.

We have also developed and consulted on several trail management applications and an urban noise monitoring system feeding data to officials to take action on events such as noise violations.

Decision Making on the Edge

While this phase often starts during delivery, the monitoring and analytics phase is critical to the success of any project. We work with our clients to determine KPIs. Using measuring tools, reports, analytics, software and monitoring infrastructure we gather feedback to assure we've exceeded expectations.

This phase is your assurance of sustained success, as we continuously optimize and adjust strategies based on solid data. Get ready to witness the tangible impact of your decisions and enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing your project is not just complete but is continually evolving and improving with productOps.
