Software Need Assessment
Find out whether spreadsheets are still enough for your carbon-data workflow, or whether dedicated software is likely to save time and reduce risk.
1. Reporting frequency
How often do you prepare carbon data or respond to customer requests?
2. Number of contributors
How many people regularly provide or review carbon data?
3. Scope 3 complexity
How many Scope 3 categories or value-chain data streams are material?
4. Supplier data
How many suppliers are involved in carbon-data collection?
5. Evidence and audit trail
How difficult is it to trace reported figures back to source data and evidence?
6. Rework
How much of the process is rebuilt or manually reconciled each reporting cycle?
7. Integrations
Would connecting ERP, procurement, energy, travel or other systems remove recurring manual work?
8. Customer requests
How often do customers ask for carbon questionnaires, evidence or product/supplier data?
9. Governance
Do you need role-based access, approvals, ownership and review workflows?
10. Assurance readiness
Is third-party assurance, auditability or formal review becoming relevant?
