Software / Auto-Inventory
An emissions inventory that holds up when somebody checks it.
Most corporate inventories are a spreadsheet that one person understands. Auto-Inventory turns activity data into a Scope 1, 2 and 3 inventory where every figure carries its own evidence — built for the moment an auditor, an investor, or a customer starts asking questions.
The problem it solves
Assumptions get lost between spreadsheets. A factor gets updated in one tab and not another. The person who built the model leaves. Two years later nobody can explain why last year’s Scope 3 moved 12%, and the honest answer — that the method changed, not the emissions — is the one answer you cannot give a stakeholder.
That is a data architecture problem, and it is why we stopped solving it in Excel.
What it does
Scope 1, 2 and 3 in one place
Fuel, electricity, travel, waste and supply chain in a single inventory, rather than five workbooks that have to be reconciled by hand each year.
Every number is traceable
Each figure keeps its activity data, its emission factor and its assumptions attached. When someone asks where a number came from, the answer is one click, not an afternoon.
Factors that stay current
A maintained factor library with vintages, so recalculating a prior year uses the factors that applied then — not whatever is current today.
Year-on-year comparability
Consistent structure across reporting years means a change in your inventory reflects a change in your business, not a change in how you counted it.
Reporting-ready outputs
Structured to feed the disclosures you actually have to make, rather than producing a number you then have to reshape for every framework separately.
Built from real reporting cycles
Developed while running inventories for clients, so the awkward parts — partial data, mid-year site changes, restatements — are handled rather than assumed away.
How it is delivered
Set up around your data, not the other way round.
We configure the inventory around the systems you already have, map your activity data in, and run the first reporting cycle with you. After that it is yours to maintain, with us involved as much or as little as you want. Licensed annually.
