The Data Engine for Precision Scope 3 & Supplier Intelligence
Move your users beyond generic spend-based averages. Power your platform with company-specific emission factors, automated benchmarking, and real-world tracking of supplier decarbonization progress.
The Challenge
Carbon accounting platforms face a "granularity wall." Most rely on generic EEIO (Environmentally-Extended Input-Output) factors to estimate Scope 3 emissions. While useful for a first pass, these average factors fail to reward green procurement: if a customer switches to a premium, low-carbon supplier, their spend goes up, and paradoxically, their calculated emissions go up too. This breaks the logic of decarbonization.
To compensate for this lack of granular performance data, many platforms integrate Climate Targets (like SBTi status) as a proxy for supplier maturity. The assumption is that a supplier with a "Committed" badge is a green supplier. However, this creates a new blind spot: a target is merely a statement of intent, not proof of action. Knowing a supplier has a target tells you nothing about whether they are actually hitting it.
Without both Company-Specific Emission Factors to fix the calculation math and Target Progress Tracking to validate supplier promises, your users are left with a static view. They cannot accurately calculate their purchased goods, and they have no evidence that their supply chain is actually decarbonizing.
Why Tracenable
A Data Partner to Upgrade Your Calculation Methodology
Tracenable provides the API-first data layer that enables "Hybrid Method" calculations, allowing your platform to deliver higher precision and deeper supplier intelligence than the competition.
Company-Specific Emission Factors
Replace generic EEIO averages with precision. Ingest calculated Revenue Intensities (tCO2e / $ Revenue) for thousands of global suppliers, allowing your users to calculate Scope 3 based on actual supplier performance, not just industry averages.
Actual Progress vs. Climate Targets
Don't just show the "Pledge"; show the reality. We track global companies' actual GHG reductions against their stated targets. Give your users visibility into which suppliers are executing their transition plan and which are falling behind.
Benchmarking & Market Intelligence
Turn raw data into a product feature. Use our standardized industry metrics to auto-generate peer benchmarking dashboards inside your platform, helping your customers understand how their intensity compares to the market leaders.
Commercial Display Rights
Build without legal gray areas. Our licensing is designed for SaaS. We offer clear commercial display rights, allowing you to display Tracenable data directly to your end-users without the restrictive "internal use only" clauses of legacy vendors.
Seamless API Ingestion
Keep your factors fresh. Our REST API and automated data feeds ensure your platform's calculation engine is always running on the latest annual disclosures, instantly updating as new supplier reports are published.
