Get acquainted with the team responsible for the EHS-DashboardTM!
Who we are
Higher Elevation Software, LLC (HES) was founded with a singular goal: to provide Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) professionals with smarter, more efficient tools for managing compliance, safety, and sustainability data. We are a team of EHS experts and software developers who understand that businesses need more than just data collection—they need actionable insights that drive real change.
Our flagship product, the EHS-Dashboard™, was designed to eliminate the common inefficiencies of EHS management by offering a customizable, cloud-based solution that enhances visibility, streamlines reporting, and ensures compliance. Unlike one-size-fits-all software, our platform is built for flexibility, allowing organizations to integrate their unique processes and achieve meaningful improvements in workplace safety and environmental performance.
At Higher Elevation Software, we don’t just build software—we create solutions that drive progress and make life easier for EHS professionals.

Our history
The idea for the EHS-DashboardTM emerged in 2015 from firsthand experience with the challenges of managing EHS data using outdated tools. Many organizations relied on spreadsheets, disparate databases, and manual reporting methods, making it difficult to track compliance, identify trends, and make informed decisions. Our team saw an opportunity to develop a solution that simplifies complex processes and centralizes EHS data into a single, intuitive platform.
By working closely with industry leaders and EHS professionals, we built the EHS-Dashboard™ to address the specific needs of modern EHS and ESG programs. From automated data collection and real-time analytics to customized dashboards and seamless integration, the platform empowers businesses to go beyond compliance and implement strategic, data-driven improvements.
Since its launch, the EHS-Dashboard™ has become an essential tool for companies looking to streamline their EHS operations, enhance corporate sustainability, and ensure long-term regulatory compliance. As the industry evolves, so do we—continuously innovating to provide the most effective solutions for today’s EHS challenges.
