Reliably analyze large datasets

The biggest challenge for LCS in preparing its first carbon footprints was managing the immense volume of data. A wide range of invoices and receipts had to be collected and analyzed. Reviewing each document individually to ensure compliance with sustainability guidelines and standards proved to be an overwhelming task. The process was particularly complex in the transportation sector and with their metal suppliers. When it comes to the sustainability of the supply chain, it is essential to identify and assess risks. Manually categorizing and processing these risks required an efficient solution that also ensured reliable and accurate analyses.

With two key personnel responsible for sustainability management, it was essential for LCS to have efficient tools at their disposal to carry out their tasks effectively.

We really liked the fast and uncomplicated communication and the way Code Gaia responded to our needs with a dedicated contact person. The ease of use of the tool and the automated data processing were invaluable in view of the large volumes of data to be analyzed.
