"I have a solution, but it only works for spherical chickens in a vacuum!"— Leonard, Big Bang Theory

🌍 The Impact?Apart from all the money we save our clients ($288M and counting), and the delight we bring in the customer experience of their customers, our proprietary algorithms sequester emissions equivalent to 30,000+ acres of forests every year.
