Bottomline³ is distinguished by more than just the peerless methodology behind the software. Ease of use, speed of calculations and flexibility of outputs are just some of the areas that we have focussed our efforts. The overall quality of the product can best be understood by considering comments from our users. 

Hatch, one of Australia's largest engineering services companies, is actively integrating sustainable deveopment into the way it does business. This required the development of systems, procedures and tools for applying sustainability to their work. The Hatch toolbox now includes several powerful tools developed in-house to assist business and project decision-makers.

Hatch considers the ISA tool - Bottomline³ - to be the most sophisticated ecological accounting tool of its type currently available. Its ability to quickly and simply allocate upstream and downstream impacts in unique. Hatch is excited at the prospect of using the software to more accurately analyse and understand the impacts of our clients' businesses.

Hatch has an emerging need to determine the accurate social, economic and ecological footprint of businesses. While they have completed enough work to understand the vast magnitude of this task, it was only recently that Hatch was introduced to the Integrated Sustainability Analysis capability. To our delight we have found a well conceived, developed and packaged tool that will meet the majority of our requirements.

Philip Bangerter, Hatch's Global Director of Sustainability considers that Bottomline³ is a breakthrough in sustainability accounting and will set the benchmark for a new global standard. "Hatch appreciates the effort and time invested by the ISA team in developing this tool. It is a valuable contribution in our drive toward sustainability and we are pleased to be among the first commercial users of this tool."

Hatch has 2500 people in Australia focused on the resources, energy and heavy infrastructure sectors. Its global office network provides a rich source of experience for clients and has positioned Hatch to be a major force in sustainable development. For more information, visit the Hatch Web site.
