Technology for SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production

Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns

QUIDGEST’S PRODUCTS WHICH SUPPORT THIS SDG

WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT TOOL

Access to running water, basic sanitation, and urban waste is the foundation stone of a developed society. Poor infrastructure can lead to both spread of diseases and the waste of resources – both hurdles can cost vast amounts of money to solve.

The Water Resources Management Tool was created with these issues in mind. It enables holistic management of the water supply and waste disposal systems and answers to all the operational and commercial details of this sector. Thanks to artificial intelligence (AI), the solution is also an enabler to finding water leaks, infiltrations in the sewage network, and abusive water consumption.

Moreover, the integrated solution will help you save resources with its AI-propelled predictive maintenance feature, which can anticipate pipe malfunctions.

This solution is also helping to fulfill the following Goals:

PUBLIC FINANCE SHARED SERVICES

Given the multiple variables at stake, having a holistic view of a country’s revenue/tax collection and expenditures can be challenging. However, not having a vision of the balance can be a more demanding challenge for decision-makers. Quidgest’s approach on this subject is complex but simple to understand: centralize all the information in a single platform by providing common ground corporate services.

Individual departments usually carried out something that is now done a single time, reducing unnecessary duplication of effort, harmonizing policies, and consolidating relevant data under a single umbrella platform. Transparency, international credibility, and better resource management are some of the benefits of Quidgest’s Public Finance Shared Services solution.

This solution is also helping to fulfill the following Goals:

PUBLIC FLEET MANAGEMENT SHARED SERVICES

In a world where resources are scarce and time is precious, it is vital to efficiently manage both. Business fields where vehicles carry enormous importance can always improve their management.

Systems such as the Public Fleet Management Shared Services not only provide the immediate answer to this problem but also a clear and fast return on investment. The solution is able to track the fleet, manage operational costs as well as managing the security of the driver and its load, and monitoring the service provided based on personalized Key Performance Indicators.
