DEAL: Distributor Efficiency Analytics & Learning

Accessible by: anyone

The Problem

Distributors are facing stiff financial pressure and are wasting 10-30 percent on facility and fleet operating costs.

The Solution

ISSA’s Distributor Efficiency Analytics & Learning (DEAL) program, developed in partnership with Sustainability Dashboard Tools, LLC, helps distributors reduce operating costs and be more profitable. Watch this short video to learn how DEAL works!

DEAL can help your business reduce facility and fleet operating costs—up to 30 percent—with its comprehensive, three-part approach:

Learning

DEAL’s education sessions will help you improve operational efficiency by adopting best practices from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ENERGY STAR and SmartWay transportation programs. Learning sessions start with low- to no-cost improvements to tackle the “low-hanging fruit” before progressing to advanced enhancements.

Analytics

Analytics and benchmarking in DEAL’s data portal can help you track your performance and identify opportunities for improvements across multiple facilities by comparing your data to benchmarking data of other cleaning-product distributors. To compare your performance on a national scale, your energy and fleet performance will also be entered in EPA’s ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager and SmartWay Trucking Tool—and your benchmark scores are all migrated into the ISSA DEAL data portal so you only have to use one system. This allows you to leverage industry-specific data, as well as national performance data, to see how you compare.
