Carbon Accounting Software for Sustainability Managers and ESG Leads

Sustainability managers at Australian NGER reporters and ASRS Group 2 entities carry the number. You are accountable to the CFO, the audit committee, the assurance provider, and the ASIC surveillance team, while spending most of your day chasing site managers for fuel dockets, reconciling utility bills to the finance ledger, and rebuilding a VLOOKUP table that broke when the supplier changed their invoice layout. Carbonly is built so you spend less time on data entry and more time on strategy, materiality assessment, and the reduction work that actually moves the number.

What changes for sustainability managers and esg leads

  • Site managers forward fuel dockets and utility bills to a per-project email address from the truck cab; the AI extracts and files them automatically
  • The VLOOKUP table is replaced with five-tier material matching that learns per-supplier per-material, with confidence scores exposed on every row
  • The audit trail proactively answers the assurance walk-through - factor version pinning, source-document provenance, reviewer confirmations, content fingerprints on every write
  • Scope 3 supplier engagement runs through the Supplier Portal with the Supplier Data Chase Agent chasing on your configured cadence rather than you emailing 200 suppliers a spreadsheet
  • AR5 for NGER and AR6 for AASB S2 both render from the same activity data without double entry
  • The board dashboard reflects the live ledger, not a monthly PowerPoint you rebuild by hand

What the system does

  • AI document engine reads supplier invoices, fuel dockets, utility bills, delivery notes, and meter readings in eight file formats
  • Per-supplier extraction templates auto-derived from five samples of Ampol, AGL, Origin, Boral, InfraBuild, Cleanaway or any other supplier you use
  • Trust Graduation Agent moves per-material per-supplier mappings from "AI proposes, human confirms" to "auto-confirm on high confidence" based on real confirmation history
  • Data Health Agent flags outlier readings, unit mismatches, factor version drift, and missing mappings before they reach a published number
  • MCP server lets you ask ChatGPT or Claude "what were our Scope 1 emissions for Q3 by facility" and get an audited answer with source-document links
  • NGER submission generation with Method 1/2/3 method category labels; AASB S2 disclosure generation with paragraph 29(a)(vi) methodology disaggregation

Frequently asked

What if my team is one person plus a consultant?

Per-project pricing (Small, Medium, Large, Enterprise) with a $100/month workspace minimum means a single-facility SME with one sustainability lead runs on the same platform an ASX-listed reporter uses. The consultant helping you can hold Auditor or Manager role in the same workspace and see the same audit trail without a separate handover.

How much time does this actually save?

The construction data-entry benchmark of 10,000+ fuel receipts a quarter is the workload the platform is designed for - the scale that would previously have taken a sustainability team of two a full quarter of manual data entry. Your mileage will vary with your volume and document mix; the honest answer is that the clerical hours compound down as the tenant library learns, and the reduction and strategy hours compound up.

Do you support existing consultant relationships?

Yes - consultants are buyers of the platform, not competitors. Your existing sustainability consultant can hold a role in your workspace and see the same audit trail, the same evidence pack, and the same materiality assessment. The strategy and stakeholder engagement work stays with them; the data-clerk work stops being yours.
