Enterprise Carbon Manager
Our Enterprise Carbon Management (ECM) software is a hosted solution designed to measure, manage, monitor and calculate the total emissions from every corner of your business.
Underpinned by robust technology and calculation factors based on the most up-to-date local and global protocols, the software addresses the often overwhelming difficulty of carbon data capture and measurement. The benefits of the ECM for your organisation are:
- Reduced time and cost to collect energy and carbon emissions data
- Robust, scalable, and enterprise-focused platform that is simple to configure, can be used in real-time monitoring of smart meters for utilities, and is capable of processing hundreds of thousands of transactions a day
- Flexible, easily customised reports to meet changing management and compliance requirements
- Easy to follow audit trails, reducing assurance and audit costs
- Distributed, web-based architecture allowing for easy access by locations around the world
- Fully outsourced, hosted SAS model, eliminating upfront IT and infrastructure costs
- Consistently maintained up-to-date emissions data for carbon calculations
- Elimination of human error through automated data collection
The key features of the ECM include:
Automated Data Capture
- Captures all your emissions sources from utilities such as energy, gas, and water to air travel, vehicle fleet, taxi use, waste, couriers and paper
- Data can be submitted or captured from almost any source, including spreadsheets, electronic (email, internet and data feeds), invoices, NEMS, GPRS, as well as smart meters and manual entry
- Data can be entered/captured from as many diverse locations as required
Flexible Reporting
- The ECM platform offers customised management reporting and dashboards including reports for CDP, GHG Protocol, EEO, NGERs, NABERS, OSCAR and any other reports that you require to manage your business
- The reports can be output in multiple formats – web-based, CSV, spreadsheet, PDF, MSWord etc
Alerts and Notifications
- The ECM platform has the capability to monitor data for irregularities, sending you alerts or alarms if any of your set thresholds are in danger of exceeding their boundaries
- If your thresholds are breached or about to be, you will be notified via SMS or email alert. For example, you can receive an email when your pre-determined travel emissions threshold for the month has been reached, or an SMS when you have unexpected spikes in energy use
Organisational/Hierarchical Structure
- The ECM platform is designed to effectively manage data within organisational and hierarchical structures. Your data can be categorised according to global location, geographical location, office, floor, specific smart meter etc
- You also have the ability to set multiple access/security levels for different users enabling access to different data and functionality
Audit Trail
- The effective data capture and storage of the ECM platform gives you access to readily available audit trails for all of your data and calculations, helping to reduce audit and assurance costs
Energy and Carbon focused
- The ECM platform provides for all of a business’s utility and carbon measurement requirements along with an extensive energy management system
- Combined with Zerofootprint’s comprehensive and consistently updated emissions factor data, you can be assured of accurate and verifiable measurement and reporting
- The ECM also provides the capability to manage your carbon budget by setting targets for particular emission sources, locations or business divisions
The software provides accurate reporting for compliance and regulatory purposes as well as revealing opportunities for carbon reduction.
