Analyzing carbon emissions from energy usage and company travel can be daunting and time-consuming
Business requires accurate data to take wise decisions on sustainability and carbon emission tracking
Data collection is complex due to various data sources such as IoT Sensors, spreadsheets, cloud, third-party data sources, on-premise databases
Requires huge effort and cost to combine entire data into a single platform and generate KPI dashboards out of it
Tackling carbon accounting audits take months – not weeks or days
