Customer Story: How One Company Saved 200+ Hours Using Carbondeck

Spreadsheets were slowing them down. Emissions data was scattered, compliance deadlines were looming, and reporting took weeks.

Then they switched to Carbondeck.

In this case study, we walk through how a mid-sized industrial company streamlined its GHG accounting process, improved reporting accuracy, and saved over 200 hours annually by moving from manual systems to Carbondeck.

❌ The Challenge: Fragmented and Manual Carbon Tracking

Before Carbondeck, the company relied on:

• Multiple Excel files managed by different departments
• Manually applied emission factors from outdated spreadsheets
• Email threads to verify data across teams

This caused:

• Inconsistent calculations
• Lack of audit trail
• Frustration from the sustainability team
• Delayed reports and compliance risks

"We were spending more time cleaning up data than acting on it."

🚀 The Solution: Onboarding Carbondeck

The company onboarded Carbondeck in under two weeks, using:

• Bulk import features to migrate past data
• Scope 1-2-3 engines to automate calculations
• Collaboration tools to bring departments into one shared space
• Report templates aligned with CSRD and GHG Protocol

Training was minimal and adoption across departments was rapid thanks to Carbondeck's intuitive interface.

⏱ The Impact: 200+ Hours Saved Annually

After 3 months of using Carbondeck:

• Monthly data collection was cut from 10 days to 2 days
• Reports were generated in hours, not weeks
• Collaboration with finance, ops, and legal improved dramatically

📊 The team reported a savings of over 200 hours/year in manual work and coordination time.
