An Application that is Changing an Industry

An Application that is Changing an Industry

 

"It's supposed to be automatic, but actually you have to push this button." - John Brunner

Our Application Has Improved...Again.

What's improved?

Several things have been added and improved.  

The two major items are: 

1) Groundwater elevation contour maps which can be completed in seconds, and; 

2) Iso-chemical contour maps, also completed in seconds.   

In order to evaluate these new features for yourself, click on a link below to go directly to a demonstration page in the application without having to have a username or password.

Groundwater Contour Example Site #1

Groundwater Contour Example Site #2

Iso-chemical Contour Map Example Site #1

Iso-chemical Contour Map Example Site #2

For some users, you may have to click the link twice. Read the instructions on the right side of the top title bar. You have to select your preferences and instruct the application as to which dates and data to use. As it says above, you still have to push some buttons.  

Who would use this application?

• Every single Project Manager managing a groundwater sampling project. Of course the project manager is going to have to be comfortable with technology and have a desire to save money.  If you're concerned about cutting into revenue from reporting, we suggest you look at it as an opportunity to spend the money saved on reporting, on needed investigation, remediation or closure. 

• Oil Company Environmental Managerswith numerous groundwater sampling and remediation projects who are interested in saving money and having access to real time project data and generating various project reports on their own. The software starts saving money from the very first sampling event. 

• Manufacturing and production facilities Environmental Managerswith multiple groundwater sampling projects. Having to obtain your information from your contractor costs you money every time you ask for it. It is far more convenient to have the data at your fingers tips and generate your own reports anyway you want them, in seconds, as you need the information.

• Regulatory Agencieslooking to manage agency run projects more efficiently. A typical Quarterly Monitoring Report can now be done, with all the typically desired graphics and data in under 10 minutes. All of the tables, the graphs, the maps with the lab data printed next to the well and color coded against clean-up criteria, and the groundwater elevation contours and the iso-chemical contours. Everything in under 10 minutes. Click on a link above or log in to try it for yourself.

Who is hesitant to use us?

• AutoCad Technicians/Draftsmen. We are significantly cutting into their work load and need for their services.  Our system can do in seconds what can take an AutoCad Technician hours to generate. The application can handle hundreds of wells at a site and can generate multiple large format blue print size maps with hundreds of wells updated and generated to your preferences in seconds. 

• Old School Project Managers. I've talked with many Project Managers about our software and a few of them (not all) have asked me "How am I supposed to make any money if your software is generating the report in seconds?". To me the answer is simple: increase your market share through improved efficiency and better service and thus increase your profit margin. If you can simultaneously cut the price for the client and also increase your profit margin, isn't that the right answer for long term business success? 

• People that are resistant to change and technology. Now I'm not saying that all technological advancements are for everyone, but I do feel comfortable saying that the environmental industry is pretty much a technology industry. The technology in the industry is ever changing and at a faster and faster rate all the time.  So if you want to be successful in the environmental industry, long term, you might want to embrace the technology.

How much is this going to cost?

It depends on a coupe of factors. These factors are; how many wells you are sampling at a site and how many sites do you have?. We bill based on the wells sampled in a year. For the typical site our software will range from $200 to $600 per year per site. Roughly the cost of one or two maps generated by an AutoCad Technician for one sampling event. 

Discounts are given for larger volumes. Call or e-mail for a quote. 

How do I learn more or try it for myself?

Call me or e-mail and we will set up a web demonstration or a free trial, which ever you prefer. I can be reached at 231-933-7035 or at schindler@sampleserve.com. Or simply login using the instructions below or to the right.
