Automated data matching
Problem: Manual merging of ERP exports and emission factors.
Solution: The module imports your Scope 3.1 data (e.g., from ERP systems), automatically categorizes it, and links it with over 150,000 emission factors.
AI-powered document analysis
Problem: Invoices and delivery notes require tedious manual review.
Solution: Simply upload PDF invoices – the system extracts relevant data using AI and assigns the appropriate emission factors automatically.
Drill-down & hotspot analysis
Problem: Lack of transparency at the product level.
Solution: Interactive dashboards display emissions per product, component, or supplier, highlighting the largest emission sources.
Activity & industry factors
Problem: Selecting the right factors is complex.
Solution: Industry- and product-specific recommendations simplify selection, while custom factors can be integrated individually.
