In 2023, leaders in the manufacturing sector discovered a beacon of guidance in FTD solutions. Our Water Management Application (WMA) software emerged as a crucial tool for navigating the intricate complexities of industrial facilities, focusing on optimizing efficiencies and driving sustainable performance.

The results? Staggering global impact and significant benefits for everyone involved.

Take, for instance, one of our clients who, within a year of deploying our WMA, saved over 9 billion gallons of water and realized cost savings exceeding $60M, with projections of $140M in savings the following year.

FTD solutions leverages our proprietary software to illuminate pathways for industrial facilities to enhance capacity, align with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals, and manage industrial wastewater efficiently. The year 2023 also marked the expansion of FTD, notably with the development of our Energy Management Application (EMA), building an all-encompassing solution for environmental sustainability.

2023 Highlights: A Year of Recognition and Impact
