Read about how Sanviken Energi improved their chemical system by restoring order in their safety data sheets through EcoOnline
"Within our business, we have a total of almost 500 different chemicals. Before we switched to Ecoonline, we had a lack of order on our safety data sheets and out in the different operations there were a variety of chemicals that were not used and many were very old with incorrect labelling. We had major shortcomings in the update in the chemical system and this was largely due to the fact that it was perceived as unnecessarily complicated to use"Environmental Engineer, Johan Rune

Improvements
When we switched to EcoOnline systems, we got a fresh start and went through the entire business and cleaned away all unnecessary chemicals. The chemicals that we registered in EcoOnline’s system are the range that we use today. We formed a chemical group with a representative from each business area who approves new chemicals before they can be used in the business. All chemicals have been risk assessed and we are now working to develop the right protective equipment with the support of the CAS numbers for the chemicals we use. It feels safe to know that we have a good structure where it is easy to find safety data sheets and information for the chemicals that are in the business.

Implementation
Straightforward, configurable implementation
One of the main advantages to a single code base SaaS platform is that implementation does not require a lot of time-consuming configuration.
When Mitie made the move, within two days 80% of the incident management module was configured.
As part of a staggered implementation, the Mitie team launched incident management, before turning their attention to the audit management module.
Soft Rollout
Mitie opted for a soft rollout approach. This involves gradually rolling out the new solution and integrating it with existing systems and processes, but despite their cautious approach, take up of the new processes has been good across the group.
