Data drives business. It helps us find actionable insights that lead to operational developments and financial gains. Sustainability data is no different. When presented properly, recycling program data can help leaders make timely and efficient decisions related to sustainability needs and goals.<\/p>\n

Data Visualization and Customization<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Full visibility to reporting data is key to any sustainability program. Quest Resource Management Group (Quest) has and continues to provide customized reporting for clients based on their specific programs and operational needs. By integrating a new business intelligence & analytics (BI&A) platform with customizable<\/a> sustainability data visualization into its client reporting system, Quest now offers clients virtually instantaneous access to their programs\u2019 data in an easy to digest visual format.<\/p>\n

Quest\u2019s new BI&A tool puts sustainability and operational insights in the hands of clients with the capability to pivot, slice and filter data down to their desired level at their fingertips. This data can be displayed in pie charts, bar graphs, line graphs and donut charts for ease of communication in presentations and reports. Data viewing options at the line of business, regional and store levels help clients easily navigate data and find key insights for their businesses.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ability to drill down to data at the store level is especially beneficial to Quest clients with hundreds or thousands of individual locations across the country,\u201d said Quest CEO Ray Hatch<\/a>. \u201cThis platform gives them the advantage of not only comparing the volume diverted at each store, but the level of contamination and emergency service requests as well. That information is valuable from a sustainability reporting standpoint and from an operational view as well,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The Right Data at the Right Time<\/strong><\/h2>\n

According to a May 2013\u00a0survey by Aberdeen Group, data visualization tools provide more timely access to decision-driving information. \u201cIn organizations that use visual data discovery, managers are almost 30% more likely to find information in time to support their decisions, compared to managers in organizations that only have managed reporting and\/or dashboards,\u201d the study states.<\/p>\n

This timely information helps sustainability managers and executives make well-informed decisions about their businesses and sustainability programs based on hard numbers and facts. Additionally, this interactive data platform allows users \u201cplay with\u201d and dive deeper into the available data which often leads to the discovery of trends and key insights that would not be visible with other BI&A tools.<\/p>\n
