InSeconds IS A GREEN COMPANY


There is nothing wrong with making money and making a difference!

We are all about adopting sustainable practices and being ecologically responsible.

As global warming becomes more and more of an issue, we should take steps to make sure the future of those who we love is secure.

Having an environmental conscience goes beyond respecting rules and regulations. We have to understand the impact our activities have on our planet’s health. InSeconds understands that paper production is extremely harmful to the environment.

Have you ever stopped to calculate how many trees are taken down every year to supply the needs of one single institution? In the US alone we use 2.8 million sheets of paper for every 100 students at a cost of $20,000 per year.

If you consider that one tree only produces 20 rims of paper, it is necessary to take down 3 trees per student per year.

There are even more environmental impacts to be taken in consideration:

InSeconds promotes practices that reduces the need for printing.

Signature online is secure and reduces the need to print, sign, and scan..

Every form of communication among franchisees, administrators, students, suppliers is digital, reducing the need for paper forms and speeding the administrative process. This eases the communication process for complaints and requests made by the student as well as email marketing for campaigns to capture leads.

Tests, quizzes, and activities can now be available online also reducing drastically the need for paper consumption.


Paper and your conscience

We understand that printing is a necessity in certain instances, for unavoidable situations InSeconds was designed with configurations that allows fonts and sizes to be adapted to a smaller yet readable scale and alerts/reminders before printing that a more economical printing is available such as black and white.
