Sustainability Consulting Firm Transforms Emissions Reporting for 15 Clients
Company Type
A sustainability consulting firm that offers "Chief Sustainability Officer as a Service" to 15 clients, managing emissions inventory and compliance reporting.
The Challenge
With each client submitting around 100 bills or tickets per period, the consulting firm’s team was overwhelmed by manual data validation and consolidation. Reviewing low-quality or incomplete documents took hours of back-and-forth, delaying their reporting timeline. The team needed a faster, more reliable way to validate utility and fuel consumption data and ensure accuracy across multiple clients.
The Solution
Cedalio stepped in as their AI-powered companion, automating data extraction and validation for each document. The platform flags low-quality files for follow-up, highlights periods with missing data, and provides a centralized dashboard for real-time performance monitoring. This allowed the team to cut down manual processing time and focus on higher-value activities, like generating insights for their clients.
The Impact
- 80% Reduction in Manual Validation Time: Cedalio’s automation reduced time spent on document validation by half, speeding up the overall process.
- Improved Data Quality: Automated identification of poor-quality documents enabled the team to quickly request better evidence, reducing errors and omissions.
- Faster Reporting: The firm can now deliver comprehensive emissions inventories to clients in just a few hours—a task that previously took weeks.
- Centralized Performance Overview: The dashboards provide a clear view of each client’s energy performance, making it easier to spot inefficiencies and communicate results.
