The ideal foundation for further analyses or as a data basis for your ESG software.
SmartSustain explained
How SmartSustain works
Use SmartSustain to intelligently extract data from existing documents and prepare it for in-depth analysis. Simply upload utility bills or energy certificates via drag & drop, and SmartSustain will automatically extract all relevant information – including consumption and emissions over time. In combination with the esgREview module, you can use comprehensive analysis options to make data-based decisions faster.
Use data to optimize your properties step by step
Utility bills and energy certificates can be easily uploaded to the SmartSustain portal via drag & drop as individual PDF documents or via bulk upload. The assignment takes place directly at the property level, so that the data is automatically assigned to the correct property. Duplicates and incorrect documents are immediately identified during upload and checked by quality assurance. All ESG-relevant information is then precisely extracted and processed.
Once the data has been uploaded, extracted and classified, it undergoes a final check by our in-house quality assurance to guarantee almost 100% data quality. In addition, users can run a plausibility check to quickly and easily identify missing documents to ensure the completeness of the data.
The data is now quality-assured and clearly presented – the ideal basis for further analyses. If required, the data can be exported or integrated directly into further systems, such as an ESG reporting tool, via interfaces.
With the esgREview extension for SmartSustain, you can compare and benchmark individual properties or entire real estate portfolios. Consumption, costs and emissions can be compared both in absolute numbers and in relation to one another (e.g. consumption per square meter). This allows you to identify properties with the highest consumption and specifically determine where sustainability measures can be invested most effectively.
The transparent presentation of the supplier mix enables targeted optimization measures. You can easily identify the most favorable provider and take advantage of significant savings potential by switching suppliers. At the same time, the clear presentation of consumption improves the use of framework agreements and helps you negotiate better terms. What’s more, you can make sustainability activities measurable by analyzing consumption and costs over time in detail for each property or portfolio.
