Challenge	Fortive, a company with operating companies specializing in a wide range of sectors, is driven by the motivation to create a world that is stronger, smarter, and safer for everyone. However, creating a better future requires the collection and management of a constant flow of high-quality data. Sustainability, in particular, is a remarkably data-intensive practice. Prior to using Intelex, the sustainability team was using Excel spreadsheets to collect data. However, the disparate and constantly expanding data sources, as well as the specialty knowledge required to ensure the quality and fidelity of the data, made this an impractical solution over the long term. Beyond collecting the data, the most important step is communicating the meaning of that data to a diverse range of stakeholders inside and outside the company. Read More
About Customer	Fortive is a company that operates in various sectors, including advanced healthcare solutions, intelligent operating systems, industrial safety, and environmental products. The company was founded in 2016 and has grown to more than 17,000 employees at 175 global locations in over 50 countries. Fortive’s operating companies include Accruent, Fluke, Industrial Scientific, Intelex, and Tektronix. The company is driven by the motivation to create a world that is stronger, smarter, and safer for everyone.

Solution	Fortive adopted Intelex and Datamaran to manage its sustainability data. Intelex became one of Fortive’s operating companies in 2019 after being acquired by Industrial Scientific. The Corporate Sustainability team uses the Corporate Reporting application to facilitate collecting sustainability data. It also uses Fortive’s in-house learning solution to ensure that everyone receives the training they need to understand how to collect and enter sustainability data. Fortive adopted Datamaran for materiality analysis in early 2020. The system has a one-of-a-kind ability to transform what is typically a manual, time-intensive and snapshot-view process into a data-driven, tailored and high-fidelity process. The transition to Intelex has enabled Fortive to collect, collate, analyze and experiment with data in a much faster timeframe and with greater agility. Read More Log in to view content
