CarbonSupplyChain: Emissions Audit Trail
Automated supply chain emissions tracker that generates compliance reports for mid-market manufacturers needing to report Scope 3 carbon under EU regulations.
The Problem
Mid-market manufacturers struggle to track and report emissions across their supply chain (Scope 3) for EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) compliance. Most either manually spreadsheet their supplier data or use enterprise software costing $50k+/year. There's no affordable tool that auto-ingests supplier invoices, cross-references emission factors, and generates audit-ready reports.
Target Audience
Supply chain managers and sustainability leads at manufacturing companies with 200-2000 employees in Europe facing CSRD deadlines (2024-2028)
Why Now?
CSRD enforcement timeline creates immediate compliance pressure. EU regulations went live Jan 2024 and first reports due 2025—companies are actively budget-hunting for solutions that aren't Salesforce.
What's Missing
Existing solutions are either enterprise-priced or incomplete (missing supplier invoice automation). Mid-market buyers need something 10x cheaper that works out-of-box with their current ERP/accounting system.
