The Challenge for Fortive
Fortive’s commitment to building a safer, smarter, and more sustainable world requires managing complex EHS data across a global network of operating companies. With ambitious sustainability goals and aggressive emissions reduction targets, Fortive needed a way to collect, track, and report high-quality data efficiently. Its reliance on Excel spreadsheets and manual processes made it difficult to ensure consistency, accuracy, and timely access to critical information—especially as data sources expanded and stakeholder expectations rose.
Beyond technical hurdles, Fortive faced the challenge of aligning diverse operating companies around shared ESG goals and ensuring clear accountability for data quality. Success depended on turning raw data into actionable insights that could guide decisions at every level. To meet evolving ESG commitments and maintain transparency, Fortive needed a centralized, agile system to streamline data collection, strengthen governance, and support continuous improvement.
“The system has a one-of-a-kind ability to transform what is typically a manual, time-intensive & snapshot-view process into a data-driven, tailored & high-fidelity process.”
Rachel Pantelich, Sustainability Analyst & BI Developer
“We have achieved and continue to achieve these goals with Intelex. The transition to Intelex has enabled us to collect, collate, analyze and experiment with data in a much faster timeframe and with greater agility.”
Alexis Fuge, Senior Director of Sustainability
How Intelex Helped
Intelex provided Fortive with a centralized, cloud-based platform that replaced manual, spreadsheet-driven processes with an integrated system for collecting, managing, and reporting sustainability and risk data. By consolidating data from its global operating companies into a single source of truth, Fortive improved accuracy, consistency, and visibility across key EHS and ESG metrics. The platform’s flexibility also allowed Fortive to customize workflows, track performance trends, and align its reporting with evolving regulatory and stakeholder requirements—saving time and reducing the risk of errors.
In addition to improving data management, Intelex empowered Fortive’s teams with better tools for accountability and collaboration. EHS and facilities leaders across the organization could now review and validate data in real time, while corporate sustainability teams gained faster access to reliable information to inform strategy and drive continuous improvement. The move to Intelex also enhanced Fortive’s ability to monitor risks and benchmark performance, helping the company advance its ESG goals and respond more effectively to new challenges.
