How CimpactPro's Step-by-Step Guidance Specializes the User

Carbon Management with CimpactPro: How Step-by-Step Guidance Simplifies the User Experience

Carbon footprint calculation and reporting processes can be complex and daunting, especially for users who are new to the field, due to the technical details involved. CimpactPro aims to guide the user through this challenging journey like a compass, transforming even an inexperienced user into an expert in the process. So, how does this step-by-step guidance feature of the software facilitate and empower the user?

A Systematic Journey: Category Based Guidance

The software is based on the category-based structure of the ISO 14064-1 standard. In this setup, the user encounters an ecosystem that starts with Category 1.1 (stationary combustion), continues with Category 1.2 (mobile combustion) and progresses sequentially. For example, a user who will enter stationary combustion data enters the relevant field, selects the fuel type (diesel, gasoline, natural gas, etc.), enters his/her data, completes the process and moves on to the next step. This systematic structure prevents the user from losing their way.

Smart Support Against Forgetfulness

As carbon accounting is usually a once-a-year process, it is natural for users to forget the details of the process. CimpactPro offers a versatile support mechanism against this situation:

• Built-in Guides and Manuals: The user can easily find and remember a forgotten detail or data entry method thanks to the tutorials and detailed guides within the system.
• Artificial Intelligence Support: Users can get instant help by asking questions to the AI assistant about the issues they are stuck on.
• Step-by-Step Reporting: Especially the reporting module has a structure that guides the user step by step. The system requests all the data required in a report from the user in order. If the user does not know some data, the AI will generate default data and help them how to change it to complete the report.

Design that Eliminates the Need for Consultants

One of the main design goals of CimpactPro is to eliminate the dependency of organizations on a consultant or mentor. Our goal is to enable in-house staff, which we call "green collars", to be able to do and manage this work on their own. Needing a consultant every year reduces the benefit of a digital solution. Thanks to the guidance within the software, graphs and tables showing progress, users can easily grasp the entire ecosystem and master the process.

Last Step Seamless Validation Process

So, how far can this error-free journey that CimpactPro offers take a company? The answer is clear: With very basic activity data, you can transition to a seamless reporting and validation process. Our software has been tested many times with different companies and the reports that come out of it have gone through validation processes without any problems. All the user needs to do is to follow the steps correctly and enter the activity data correctly into the system. The final report generated with the guidance of the software can be submitted directly to a verification body without any modifications and proceed to the verification process.
