The houses fund the platform. Suppliers never pay.
This is not a launch offer, it is the condition for the data to exist at all. A supplier presented with an invoice does not declare, and a house without declarations falls back on spend ratios.
For a supplier: nothing, at any point
Not on registration, not in use, not later, not beyond a certain number of assessments. There is no cost field at all on the supplier side, and no feature unlocks against payment.
Included: life cycle assessments of their parts, their company carbon inventory, regulatory monitoring, methodology and documentation, controlled sharing towards their clients, and the help centre.
For a house: an annual subscription
The subscription covers scope 3.1 consolidation, inviting any number of suppliers, questionnaires, primary coverage tracking, exports and support.
It also covers, and this is the point, free access for every one of your suppliers. You are not paying for software, you are paying for the condition that makes hundreds of companies willing to declare.
What determines the amount
- The number of suppliers to bring on board, which determines the support needed.
- The consolidated perimeter: one house, a group, several brands.
- The need for methodological support at the start, which is not systematic.
Why the price is not shown here
Because a price shown and then adjusted at the first conversation turns against whoever showed it. And because house accounts open after a conversation anyway, in which we try to find out whether the platform will be useful to you.
We would rather state precisely what is included and discuss the amount, than the other way round.
What will never be charged
Free access for suppliers is not a launch phase. Charging whoever produces the data means going without the data: it is a methodological choice, not a loss leader, and it is not meant to change.
There is no commission on exchanges either, and no resale of data. Your data is neither aggregated nor commercialised, in any form.
