“In EcoOnline all our documents are there and searchable, and we have great data to go off. The vast number of tools the EcoOnline EHS management solution offers acts like a one-stop-shop
for safety. We can pull up results and information for customers, which eliminates the need for big stacks of paper. Now we’re able to save so much time and hold people accountable for
each other’s safety.”

The mission
Keeping all team members safe by gaining full visibility into activities and driving accountability was a challenge Eric and his team faced.
Employee safety is the number one priority at Pieper Electric and it is up to them to ensure all workers go home safely at the end of the day.
Without being able to drive accountability and follow-up on those who may not have completed the necessary training, it was more challenging to ensure risks were
mitigated on-site.
The solution
Eric and his team realized the way they operated had to change to help properly protect their people.
They looked at several different safety solutions to help solve these problems, but unfortunately none were able to deliver quite like EcoOnline.
It was the most customizable digital solution on the market and a great fit for Pieper Electric.
“You’re crazy if you’re still using paper. It’s not worth it. There is so much time-wasted and little value added that way. Without this system, you would need one to two full-time employees to sit there going through that data. The EcoOnline EHS management solution has made safety a lot more visible.”
