ClearStandard Eliminates Corporate Burden of Chasing Down Utility Data and Accelerates Critical Sustainability Reporting
Initial platform release automates the collection of energy consumption data and the calculation of scope 2 GHG emissions, providing accurate and timely KPI monitoring.
Blue Bell, Pennsylvania US, March 23, 2024 — Linx-AS LLC (www.linxas.com), a consulting and software development firm specializing in product lifecycle management (PLM), sustainability, and environment, health, and safety (EHS), announced the launch of ClearStandard, a data transformation and integration platform for sustainability data.
The scope 2 module of ClearStandard features a cloud subscription service to accurately capture utility bill data directly from online accounts. The data is standardized for automated calculations and generation of sustainability and compliance reporting as well as integration into the portfolio of SAP sustainability solutions for enterprise-wide use.
“Businesses are under increasing pressure for more accurate and timely reporting,” stated Matt Duka, director of marketing at Linx-AS. “As with many sustainability initiatives—and scope 2 is no different—the barrier is harvesting the data. Our solution kicks down that barrier, allowing companies to focus more on improving sustainable performance and less on collecting utility bills.”
Developed on the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), ClearStandard provides an open cloud architecture to exchange data and automate processes. The solution functions as cloud middleware between transactional sources of record and consumers of compliance and sustainability data.
“ClearStandard allows companies to focus more on improving sustainable performance and less on collecting utility bills.”
“SAP provides a robust portfolio of solutions to drive sustainable performance strategies, from ESG to net zero among others” stated Jeff Frye, president of Linx-AS. “However, the data you need drive business value is often not coming from SAP. It’s in point solutions, spreadsheets, and notepads. SAP BTP gives our solution the flexibility to centralize data through apps and APIs and present it in a sustainability context to decision makers.”
Though ClearStandard was designed to integrate with SAP sustainability solutions, the data subscription feed can be used independently with third-party systems or for custom applications.
