The Challenge
JI Capital takes up holistic Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) assessments and impact measurements of small and medium-sized businesses. The process involves ardent evaluation and fulfilling various ESG standards and KPIs analysis of each company to operate successfully in the future. For the ESG assessments, once assessed and scored, factors require reassessments and rescheduling of the ESG audit to check the progress made on the assigned actions to determine the current ESG score. Under Impact performance assessment, KPIs are assigned, targets are set, and the KPI values are updated quarterly based on ESG committees’ approval. JI Capital employees were filling all the information related to these assessments manually for each portfolio company, including the improvement points, due dates for action plans, calculation of current score, rescheduling of action plans, etc., making it very tedious and time-consuming. Employees needed to send reminders to the companies and even charge penalties if the improvements are not taken care of the second time. Following up and tracking these action items on due dates was becoming even more challenging. Different stakeholders, including the fund investors, would have to follow the tiresome and lengthy email communication process to find out the current status of portfolio companies. JI Capital wanted to address all these challenges through automation while ensuring that they could make changes to their processes easily and quickly as and when required.
About The Customer
JI Capital is a Private Equity and Fund management organization. The Monetary Authority of Singapore has granted JI Capital Partners a Capital Market Services license. They have a track record in ESG and Impact investing and have substantial private equity experience. The organization brings together investors from all over the world to channel funds to small and medium-sized businesses working in a few high-impact industries.
The Solution
A need was to create a structured system tailored to their company’s working style, keeping track of ESG monitoring and sending reminders, improving the information flow, and calculating scores in real-time. JI Capital team with the help of Quixy’s implementation team built a real-time monitoring and reporting system for ESG and Impact Performances. The app iMARS, i.e., Impact Measurement Assessment and Reporting System, provides a structured approach to ESG monitoring and Impact measurement and reporting. It facilitates up-to-date information exchange with respect to ESG and Impact KPIs. All the fund details with respect to the investment in various portfolio companies can be managed through a single interface for adding, editing, assigning funds, etc. Similarly, for ESG and Impact KPIs, the existing ESG requirements can be configured, and new requirements can be added, edited, and audited. The identified risks along with criticality can be entered besides action items against each risk with target dates. These targets are tracked through alerts and notifications. All the above functions are achieved with simple configurations using Quixy’s powerful features like list screens, triggers, notifications, dashboards, etc. ESG scores, penalties for the delayed action item, and impact KPI scores are all configured by users with little expertise in coding and can be auto-calculated. The data, information, and functionalities are accessed securely based on roles and privileges configured against each user.

Real-time In-vehicle Monitoring
The telematic solution provides this vital premium-adjusting information. The solution also helps detect and deter vehicle or trailer theft – as soon as a theft occurs, monitoring personnel can alert the appropriate authorities, providing an exact location.“With more and more insurance companies and major fleet operators interested in monitoring driver behaviour on the grounds of road safety, efficient logistics and costs, the market for this type of device and associated e-business services is growing rapidly within Italy and the rest of Europe,” says Franco.“The insurance companies are especially interested in the pay-per-use and pay-as-you-drive applications while other organisations employ the technology for road user charging.”“One million vehicles in Italy currently carry such devices and forecasts indicate that the European market will increase tenfold by 2014.However, for our technology to work effectively, we needed a highly reliable wireless data network to carry the information between the vehicles and monitoring stations.”

Smooth Transition to Energy Savings
The building was equipped with four end-of-life Trane water cooled chillers, located in the basement. Johnson Controls installed four York water cooled centrifugal chillers with unit mounted variable speed drives and a total installed cooling capacity of 6,8 MW. Each chiller has a capacity of 1,6 MW (variable to 1.9MW depending upon condenser water temperatures). Johnson Controls needed to design the equipment in such way that it would fit the dimensional constraints of the existing plant area and plant access route but also the specific performance requirements of the client. Morgan Stanley required the chiller plant to match the building load profile, turn down to match the low load requirement when needed and provide an improvement in the Energy Efficiency Ratio across the entire operating range. Other requirements were a reduction in the chiller noise level to improve the working environment in the plant room and a wide operating envelope coupled with intelligent controls to allow possible variation in both flow rate and temperature. The latter was needed to leverage increased capacity from a reduced number of machines during the different installation phases and allow future enhancement to a variable primary flow system.

Automated Pallet Labeling Solution for SPR Packaging
SPR Packaging, an American supplier of packaging solutions, was in search of an automated pallet labeling solution that could meet their immediate and future needs. They aimed to equip their lines with automatic printer applicators, but also required a solution that could interface with their accounting software. The challenge was to find a system that could read a 2D code on pallets at the stretch wrapper, track the pallet, and flag any pallets with unread barcodes for inspection. The pallets could be single or double stacked, and the system needed to be able to differentiate between the two. SPR Packaging sought a system integrator with extensive experience in advanced printing and tracking solutions to provide a complete traceability system.

Transforming insurance pricing while improving driver safety
The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the car insurance industry on a scale not seen since the introduction of the car itself. For decades, premiums have been calculated using proxy-based risk assessment models and historical data. Today, a growing number of innovative companies such as Quebec-based Industrielle Alliance are moving to usage-based insurance (UBI) models, driven by the advancement of telematics technologies and smart tracking devices.

MasterCard Improves Customer Experience Through Self-Service Data Prep
Derek Madison, Leader of Business Financial Support at MasterCard, oversees the validation of transactions and cash between two systems, whether they’re MasterCard owned or not. He was charged with identifying new ways to increase efficiency and improve MasterCard processes. At the outset, the 13-person team had to manually reconcile system interfaces using reports that resided on the company’s mainframe. Their first order of business each day was to print 20-30 individual, multi-page reports. Using a ruler to keep their place within each report, they would then hand-key the relevant data, line by line, into Excel for validation. “We’re talking about a task that took 40-80 hours each week,” recalls Madison, “As a growing company with rapidly expanding product offerings, we had to find a better way to prepare this data for analysis.”
