For the past 9 months we’ve been diligently adding features to CoreHSE.com that could be considered heavy on the H and a touch light on the E. That has now changed.
With our latest release, you can use CoreHSE.com to track Energy/Resources for your facilities. It is so simple you might have overlooked this opportunity. With a few clicks you can enter details from your energy bills. You can even split up the usage by meters.
Now, let’s stand back a bit and see why in the world you would do such a thing. Take a look at this graph.
If I were a savvy coordinator, I would look at the above graph and start asking questions like:
- What the heck happened in February? Did we shut down the well?
- April was pretty good, but January was huge - why is that?
- We have been using less and less of the well water throughout the year - why is that?
And what if you could index these values by the number of hours worked or sales volume (a feature that will be a part of the next release 
)? Yeah, right, you get a whole new set of questions. You can then start asking questions about your businesses impact on your resource usage. These observations lead to action. Action leads to improvement. Improvement leads to competitive edge.
Oh, and these graphs are so sweet. Just right-click, copy, and you can paste them into any document. No more grabbing data, pasting into Excel, building a graph, changing the colors....buh lah! Just click and you are done.
