Concern about our environment and the effects we are having is increasing every year. World population continues to grow for another 20 to 30 years along with our “need” for new gadgets. This means more mining, factories, resources and ultimately a higher environmental impact.

Henry Ford said “If you can not measure it, you can not improve it”. Our duty to protect our environment means we must keep a close eye on our environmental impacts both at the local and global level… and that is where the environment tracking system comes in. This database allows you to measure, monitor and manage all types of environmental data in one central location. The software can also be used to submit compliance and auditing reports to the authorities, as required.

Amongst the EMS (Environmental Monitoring Systems) available there is no doubt that the ETS (Environmental Tracking System) is both the best value and most flexible offering in today’s market with the following key features:

1. Automated Uploads. Data can be sent in from monitors using telemetry and the ETS will process it automatically, bringing ...
... valid data in and notifying the users.

2. Security & storage: The software allows you to store your data in a centralized secure location only accessible to your staff. Nobody can access your date unless you have given them a username and password.

3. Warnings and alert: The ETS sends warnings when your limits are breached. These can be sent by email or SMS and by sending timely warnings you can take control of the situation before any major damage has been done.

4. Automated report: You know how much time gets wasted, sorry I meant spent, on reporting so you will love this one - the Environmental Tracking System allows you to create a report based off an previous report, refreshing all of the tables and graphs automatically! With it’s drag and drop interface they are quick and easy to create or edit too

5. Centralised data: Keep all of your data in one location accessible by all of your staff and suppliers so that your data does not get lost and you have a single copy – not spread around on various spread sheets and systems. You can have access to all the information with just a few clicks and compare data on the same graph. Furthermore you do not have to worry about losing the data as it is easy to locate.

6. Multiple uses: The Environmental Tracking System can perform multiple functions including:

- Assessment of emissions
- Compliance reporting
- Reduction of emissions and increase in efficiency
- Energy monitoring
- Offset and credit tracking

The software can store any environmental data as long as it text and numbers! Flora & fauna, weather, surface & ground water, rehabilitation, CO2 emissions, Gas and Ventilation, dust and air quality to name a few – but you can create your own.

7. Cost effective: Environmental Tracking System is available for you to own at a fraction of it’s competitors. If you go for the hosted solution you have no capital outlay and no worries about servers and backups.
