Ascent Data recently engaged Sequoia for waste and recycling services after Ascent Data determined a need to reevaluate its current waste and recycling operation. The result was a waste management program that saved Ascent Data money and reduced environmental impact, even though there was already a contract in place.
"Sequoia evaluated our waste contracts and compared them to current market rates. They also reviewed our existing equipment, usage and overall needs, and then negotiated with haulers to provide a project plan and contract that further decreased our environment footprint and saved us money," said Joseph H. Jones, COO at Ascent Data.
Sequoia Waste Solutions focuses on waste and recycling and manages it as if it were a standalone business unit. "We drive efficiency to three phases of the waste removal process, market rate, equipment optimization and material diversion, saving companies on average 10-30 percent on their current expenditures at no cost to them," said Brian Dolan, VP of Business Development at Sequoia Waste Solutions.
Sequoia's Network Operations Center is staffed around-the-clock and through its ticketing system for service inquiries, clients receive real-time status updates via either the phone or web. "Sequoia's Online Portal allows Ascent Data to view the important data of each location-specific waste operation, including but not limited to the equipment, the breakout and amounts of materials leaving the building, monthly bills, cost reductions, trend analyses and customer service resolutions," said Jones.
"Sequoia's goal is to maximize program benefits, while minimizing our clients' time, effort and costs," said Dolan.
