Flotilla, has launched a series of tech platform updates, including a new Application Programming Interface (API), as part of a major innovation drive to aid SMEs with sustainable business transformation.
Providing a solution to the challenge of collecting accurate scope 3 carbon emissions data, which is often the most complex data to collect and can account for up to 90% of emissions, businesses can now easily assess spend and environmental impact across their entire supply chain. The Flotilla API integrates with SME finance software such as Sage, QuickBooks and Xero to automate data collection and enable real-time measurement, helping businesses to achieving up to 60% efficiency gains in comparison to manual data collection. This contrasts the lengthy process of employees manually collecting, inputting, and verifying data over days, weeks, or even months, with the efficiency of automated real-time data collection, delivering enhanced accuracy and consistency.
Part of Flotilla’s Net Zero Transition Project Planning Tool, UK businesses are now better equipped to take responsible business action against climate change, in a move designed to build national confidence in carbon data.
Speed of data access not only enables better decision making, but also ensures SMEs are able to provide robust ESG intel for time-bound bids and tenders, ensuring they remain competitive.
These new enhancements include optimising in-platform data collection to support businesses with decarbonisation and wider ESG strategies.
New intuitive design and alignment with business impact areas ensures data is actionable, adding value to a business in a tangible way and reducing environmental jargon to make pursuing net zero strategies easier. Flotilla has pivoted its data collection methods to prioritise the urgent need for seamless data collection across multiple departments, locations and systems, helping multi-site businesses to align strategic decarbonsiation plans with real-time data access for improved decision making.
