Problem
Enterprises with extensive, multi‑tiered supply chains often cannot consolidate Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions into a single, reliable dataset. Disparate data sources, manual collection, and inconsistent emission factors create audit risk and impede timely ESG reporting and target planning.
Solution
Optera delivers a cloud‑native emissions management platform that ingests and normalizes emissions data from ERP, procurement, energy, and IoT systems using AI‑driven extraction and mapping. The platform maps data to a configurable organizational hierarchy, applies a curated global emissions‑factor library—including the Direct‑Use Product Emissions Database covering 500+ product types—and produces audit‑ready reports aligned with CDP, CSRD, TCFD, CBAM and other regulations. Real‑time dashboards surface year‑over‑year trends, hotspot analysis, and scenario‑based decarbonization pathways, enabling sustainability teams to set science‑based targets and track progress. Integrated APIs and a supplier‑engagement portal allow automated data exchange with upstream partners, while a dedicated advisory team provides guidance on methodology, verification, and regulatory compliance.
Target Audience
The primary users are ESG and sustainability officers, corporate procurement leaders, and supply‑chain managers at mid‑size to enterprise organizations that must report on and reduce Scope 1‑3 emissions.
