Manufacturer’s sales teams are being flooded with inquires on how their products are green. While rating systems are undergoing version changes and are being updated, training on these changes and how a manufacturers’ products support ratings system is costing manufacturers between $15,000 - $50,000 (development, time and travel) to keep their sales teams ready for the marketplace.
ecoScorecard provides a web-based tool to your sales staff giving the answers they need immediately. Now, clients can get the answers they need within minutes and sales staff can provide the necessary green answers to provide the best possible customer service.
Companies are increasingly hiring additional resources to keep up with the changing green building marketplace. A full time green expert on staff typically costs over $50,000 a year.
ecoScorecard provide s expertise, for roughly the same cost (and often times less), we keep our clients ahead of the ever-changing rating systems with up to date information on how your products support the new systems. When a rating system is updated, our system automatically incorporates those changes.
There are many manufacturers trying to build internal systems that can provide some of the information the market is requesting. We know this process; we spent several years designing these internal systems for clients. While there isn’t one fixed cost, the cost of these systems can easily exceed $200,000 and take between 9 to 12 months to launch.
ecoScorecard provides an effective solution for a fraction of the cost of an internally built solution. With ecoScorecard there is minimal IT involvement. Once product attributes are incorporated into our database and our technology platforms are aligned, we can launch ecoScorecard on your site in just eight weeks. Hosting, data management and traffic reporting are supplied by us.

While there is growing data about the green building marketplace and the emerging green economy, how much do you know about your clients and their green project needs? What is known about what they think of your products and how they can help with their green project? To get those answers, standard industry analytics can cost over $50,000 per year with a significant investment in mining that data and extrapolating what it all means.
ecoScorecard provides our clients with monthly market intelligence on how visitors are using their ecoScorecard web site. What keywords are they searching for? What rating system is being selected to evaluate against? What type of project they are working on? Our analytics provides insight to each of those questions and can (with coordination with your sales leadership) be used to judge the effectiveness of your regional marketing efforts.

The best reason to sign up for ecoScorecard is the cost. The yearly subscription for ecoScorecard is less than the cost of hiring someone internally to keep up with rating systems, less than the cost of a couple of ad placements, and less than the cost of hiring a 3rd party to handle these requests.

ecoScorecard offers an unprecedented view into the green building marketplace. Our system provides both market intelligence (market wide information) and business intelligence (manufacture-specific usage data).
Data is useless until it becomes understandable information. Once the data has been broken down, it becomes a powerful tool that affects how things get done. Our tool’s functionality operates 24/7 and independently of your corporation’s IT infrastructure. The ecoScorecard engine serves as a stand-alone utility servicing your existing product web site by providing the environmental information your clients need. Or, ecoScorecard can mirror your product catalogue but creates an environmental attribute focused approach to presenting your products. Through our analytics reporting, the ecoScorecard engine captures not only how many users are coming to your site, but also how much time they are spending and how many page views they see. Our system tells you what products they searched for, what keywords were used and what ratings system they were modeled against. And, when they save their project search in your ecoScorecard project folder, we can report their job title, their company name, the project type, size, stage of construction and location as well as other information.
In effect, the ecoScorecard analytics report will show you how people are searching your data and - as a result - how to optimize it to put your best foot forward.
Market Intelligence Reports provide information about the green building marketplace by summarizing system-wide usage characteristics and data such as:
Our Business Intelligence Reports cover all of the information above, as well as:
