Benchmark Gensuite EHS

Avantages

The Injury & Illness Recordkeeping functionality is really strong and is built around enabling a company to stay OSHA compliant.

The other basic safety program and compliance assurance tools have everything necessary to run a basic EHS program digitally. Beyond that, there are many different tools and suites available to totally manage, expand, and improve an EHS program digitally.

Our team really likes the ease of retrieving and seeing data and charts for analysis which makes our jobs so much easier.

Inconvénients

Customization of the platform (if needed) can be difficult, slow, time-consuming, and expensive. The permissions and scope model can be difficult for new users and non-EHS professionals to understand and use.

Avantages

Implementing this system is quick. Technical go-live for some basic modules can be as short as three months ! Benchmark ESG is a full suite with all one would need for EHS and ESG management, allowing for phased imlementation of modules at the speed and scope that is needed. The ESG modules are fully CSRD ready . The EHS modules will provide you with functionalities to support your EHS program, covering compliance, SIF and HOP strategies.
The use of embedded AI, like describe-itAI and the PSIF-AI are state of the art.
Also there are options to link up external vendor AI tools. For example, the 3MotionAI ergnomic tools can be integrated into the Ergonomic Risk Assessment module.

Inconvénients

The permission model structures are kept intentionally as simple as possible. Understandable for out-of-the-box. However in some areas permission structures requirements are more complicated. Example around ESG reporting. The need for "Limited Assurance" in CSRD regulations requires a double sign off on the reported data and therefor requires more complexity, clarity and differentiation of permission levels for access, review, reporting and verification. That should probably become an out-of-the-box feature instead of a custom.

Avantages

I was given permission to move to a new incident managemnt platform.

Inconvénients

The system was confusing, you had to build your own reports and they charged for changes to list data. It was not user friendly and our rep at Benchmark was not of little help.

Avantages

The software is intuitive, easy to use, and when I introduced it to Supervisors for use, even they agreed and love it!

Inconvénients

Love the software - it's too bad HR Integration and Single Sign On are add-ons.

Avantages

The software is designed for its intended use so they have already considered elements that I could never have imagined. It works extremely well for its purpose.

Inconvénients

Doing mass uploads via Excel workbooks requires certain security settings that our company's I.T. environment cannot handle. I had to upload from my personal computer.

Avantages

The tool is accessible with a low user threshold. Interaction between modules is great and contributes to building continuous improvement of programs and frameworks. The mobile app is highly appreciated by the users, and the option for externals to access the system with a QR code is a very useful function since we are only 50 employees and use external workers for maintenance and other critical functions. ESG Benchmark allows the EHSQ function to work smarter, and gives the Corporate function immediate insight of incidents, audits, inspections and the risk management.

Inconvénients

ESG Benchmark is expensive to implement with high annual cost for a small organisation.

Avantages

I love the compliance calendar. It allows a person to spread their requirements out through the year and ensure everything is accomplished. It also allows for notice ahead of time instead of when it is due, which allows enough time to complete the task on time rather than in a hurry.

Inconvénients

The LOTO module could use some more feature. For instance, I would love for it to track users that are trained to the authorization level along with their next due date. I also hope that the audit that is completed for the yearly check has some basic questions to lead an individual as to what is required.

Avantages

As a fast-growing company with multiple sites, Gensuite enables us to see critical EHS data from afar. The best thing about Gensuite is that it is user-friendly for our team, encouraging accurate reporting and data from our front line users through intuitive interfaces. We receive great data from Gensuite, and to me, that's what matters most in EHS software.

Inconvénients

One of the challenges we face using Gensuite is that we have to operate as a third-party contractor for another company that uses Gensuite requiring us to input data separately between both instances. To overcome this challenge, I suggest offering flexible EHS data integrations when operating as a third-party contractor.

Avantages

Gensuite has tremendous flexibility and many features. Gensuite's ability to analyze information across a large enterprise adds value for my team. Gensuite also has great workflow capacity and wonderful customer service.

Inconvénients

Not intuitive for first time users. The flexibility and number of features can have a flip side of increased complexity.

Avantages

Super fast deployment that is easily scalable across the organization. Apps are initiative making the transition from paper or static databases quick.

Inconvénients

Some of the standard reporting options are limited to a few data points.

Avantages

I like the fact that I can start with a base application and have the opportunity to customize when needed.

Inconvénients

It would benefit subscribers to have more details upfront concerning the support costs (i.e., how they will be managed, what they are used for, and what happens when their is a surplus at the end of the year, etc.).

Avantages

easy and comprehensive approach about accident follow up and investigation

Inconvénients

difficult for data manage, data minig is not friendly

Avantages

Inspection Tool, and Training Tracker have been very helpful in regards to tracking training and inspection tool has been key to the recent implementation of our audit process.

Inconvénients

It would be nice to be able to generate automatic reports much easier. Also, we do have an issue, the typical response is a help me request that never really ends in a true solution.

Avantages

one stop shop and cross-platform access

Inconvénients

some of the non-core modules are not fully developed - such as MOC, PHA manager, etc.

Avantages

The support team is very helpful and does a great job of responding quickly when assistance is needed. Gensuite replaced several different stand-alone systems we previously used and allows for a one-stop shop where employees can enter or get all of the information they’re after.

Inconvénients

For large data sets, the report pulls are very limited in some cases. For example: pulling all observations globally for a monthly period can be time consuming.

Avantages

It's a user friendly and quick software where waiting time (processing) is negligible.

Inconvénients

Basically there is none. The pros outweigh the cons.

Avantages

Continual improvement.
Moving prehistoric programs forward with technological advances.
Transition into an existing EH&S program

Inconvénients

Few bugs need to be worked within software

Avantages

Intuitive, powerful, easy to explain and manipulate.

Inconvénients

Needed additional engineering for what should of been out of the box, color coding scheme and printing functions.

Avantages

functions, reporting capability

Inconvénients

Training Tracker, difficult to set up. Difficult to start using and manage.

Avantages

I have been using Gensuite for around 7+ years and sharing a couple of USP’s

 New trend is positive
 Always ahead of technology and constantly innovating

For us during Audits, the data retrieval feature with storage and Tableau Analytics is very beneficial since these features helps me in day to day activities as a frontline EHS leader. Also, convenient for our Senior management to use it during the review meetings since this gives us a leverage to show and filter as per our need.

Inconvénients

I do not have cons for this software. It is very easy to use.
