New Key Green Feature: Vendor Map
Our new Vendor Map has proven to be an invaluable tool for our customers with multiple facilities. The Vendor Map allows users to view details about every facility’s vendors. At a glance, you will be able to see all the different electricity, natural gas, water, and waste vendors the facilities in your organization use. Viewing the actual data for these vendors is simple. Just click on the vendor name and you will be brought to the specific Data Collection page for that facility’s vendor.
The search field enables you to filter the Vendor Map. For example, if a user wanted to find all the facilities within their organization that used a particular electricity vendor, all that person needs to do is type the vendor name in the search field.
Once contract end dates have been added to your vendors, the Vendor Map then becomes more robust because you then have the option of viewing your contract end dates in the Vendor Map. This can be useful for renegotiating new contracts in the future.
Key Green is committed to help our customers use their data and create meaningful informational reports.
