Fujitsu Eco Track® is a cloud service enabling large and medium companies to reduce energy cost and simultaneously meet regulatory requirements on energy efficiency. Designed as an international solution, Fujitsu Eco Track® supports multiple languages, national laws and global reporting standards like ISO 50001.
European Parliament Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) requires European enterprises to regularly undergo audits on their energy efficiency. Leveraging the experience from complying with similar laws in Japan for more than ten years and from servicing more than 80 major customers, Fujitsu offers Eco Track®, a new version of its environmental management system, to customers in the European Union.
Eco Track® comes in 5 editions addressing different company needs and price-points. Starting from the pure energy reporting needs of mid-size companies, below 10 organisational units. Eco Track® editions can serve up to largest corporations with thousands of units, substantial workflow requirements and total flexibility in reporting element definitions.
Eco Track® can aggregate any subset of the defined set of survey items with respect to any subset of the research period and any combination of reporting organisational units. Any item or item class can be aggregated and displayed in appropriate graphical representation for organisational units along corporate structure, spatial distribution, or other criteria like linkage to certain portfolio elements of the respective company.
Of course, Eco Track® provides all basic management features required in ISO 50001 compliant processes, like checking progress against past periods or relative to defined targets. In addition, Eco Track® can benchmark any organisational unit against other units and against arbitrarily definable management-indices. These may reflect company performance in terms of output of specific products, revenue or profit and loss. They may also refer to economic data like vertical sector statistics, GNP or other company external parameters.
Aggregation can be performed by using arbitrary sets of conversion factors that are perceived as meaningful in respect to a given target. For instance, CO2-aggregation in the definitions of the GHG-protocol, kWh-aggregation in the definitions of physics (or with weights as used in Japanese reports), monetary aggregation e.g. in EURO-currency at a given date of reference prices, or any other set of factors can be used to aggregate.
This way, interesting business decisions may be addressed, like, "What is my next investment’s trade-off between CO2, kWh and Euro?". "How should my company react if factors prices move to a projected level vector?". "Which energy saving measures are really significant now and in the long term?". There are no limitations regarding the number of management indices or conversion factor sets. Fujitsu provides conversion-factors to CO2 according to the GHG protocol, conversion factors to kWh according to physical definition and conversion factors to Euro currency according to annual price averages for Europe.
Data entry to Eco Track® is performed by defined organisational units that may differ with respect to any form of hierarchical or spatial characteristics. The reporting company may choose to treat an entire subsidiary the same as a specific department of location.
Target setting is done centrally by a qualitative proposition while quantitative targets at the base level of reporting are set individually. Synchronisation with corporate quantitative targets is achieved by aggregation. This way, any form of company policy generation can be reflected by Eco Track®.
If required, targets can be entered in a centrally controlled batch process. Only the lowest level in the reporting hierarchy can enter data about resource consumption. Management, in appropriately defined structures, must approve or reject such data and forward to the next level in a chain that ends at the corporate level. Any reporting, forwarding or rejection can be commented resulting in an audit proof quantitative structure across the entire company.
Fujitsu Eco Track® supports manual data input via a web browser with plausibility checks. In addition, import and export functions are available for the standard xls and csv file formats. All data is stored in an SQL database, managed by Fujitsu, and archived for the entire duration of the Fujitsu Eco Track® subscription.
Fujitsu Eco Track® is designed for use in European multinational business enterprises. The application is currently available in German and English, and more languages will be added to the offering.
Fujitsu Eco Track® supports users who create reports and conduct analyses – extensive and in-depth specialist knowledge is not required. The application can be accessed from any computer equipped with an internet connection and a web browser. Every user is assigned a specific ID enabling him to conduct work sessions in his preferred language. It goes without saying that several different users can conduct work sessions at the same time.
