Built around whoever asked you.
Nobody wakes up wanting carbon accounting. Someone (a buyer, a tender panel, a board, a certification deadline) put the question in front of you. Find the version of that question below.
Supermarket & retail suppliers
Your biggest customer wants your Scope 3 contribution.
The ask
Coles and Woolworths supplier programs are pushing emissions requirements down their supply chains: science-based targets, supplier scorecards, data requests with deadlines attached. The ask lands on a finance or ops manager, not a sustainability team, because there isn't one.
The answer
- Enter the site's electricity, gas and any fleet fuel from the bills you already have. A year of monthly totals is an afternoon, not a project.
- Get a baseline split by scope 1, 2 and 3, calculated on published government factors with the working shown.
- Hand the buyer's team a report that matches what their template expects: methodology, factor sources, assumptions, appendices.
Straight answer: Food & beverage suppliers with refrigerant or process emissions: those categories aren't built yet. The report scopes what it covers explicitly, which is what the buyer's reviewer wants to see anyway.
Tenders & government procurement
The tender wants emissions evidence. The deadline hasn't moved.
The ask
Government and large-contractor tenders increasingly carry emissions questions, from Commonwealth sustainable-procurement requirements to tier-1 builders scoring embodied-carbon answers. A missing or hand-waved answer costs points; a made-up one costs more.
The answer
- A baseline you can produce inside the tender window, with every number traceable to a source document.
- The report is built for evaluation panels: it states its method, its factor vintage and its boundaries, so the assessor can verify rather than trust.
- Reporting years roll forward automatically, so the next tender starts from current data instead of a scramble.
Straight answer: Structured questionnaire auto-fill (SESP and similar forms) is what we're building next with founding partners; today you get the numbers and the report to answer from, not a pre-filled form.
Climate Active migration
The scheme is closing. Your measured inventory shouldn't close with it.
The ask
Climate Active certification ends 30 June 2027. If you're certified, you've already invested in measurement, and the question is what survives: not the badge, but the inventory underneath it and the ability to answer whoever asked you to certify in the first place.
The answer
- Bring the activity data across (bills and fuel records, the same inputs your consultant compiled) and own it in a system you keep.
- Keep reporting annually on published factors, with a report you can hand to the customers who valued the certification.
- Your reporting cycle keeps its rhythm: the year finalises, the next opens, reminders keep the data arriving.
Straight answer: CarbonCut is not a replacement certification and doesn't pretend to be one. It's the measured, documented answer that outlives the badge.
Transport & logistics
Shippers are asking for per-contract emissions. Your fuel data already knows the answer.
The ask
Retailers and large shippers under their own reporting obligations are pushing emissions clauses into carrier contracts. For an operator, the raw material is sitting in the fuel-card system already.
The answer
- Monthly fuel-card totals by fuel type are one entry each: diesel, petrol and LPG on published transport-fuel factors.
- Record kilometres and you get intensity in fleet language: kg CO₂-e per 100 km, the number an operations manager can sanity-check on instinct.
- Depot electricity and gas complete the picture, and the report splits it all by scope.
Manufacturers under customer scorecards
EcoVadis, Sedex, customer ESG portals: the ratings your customers require.
The ask
Multinational and ASRS-covered customers push scorecards down to their suppliers. The emissions section is where manufacturers most often stall: the rating wants evidence-backed numbers, not intentions.
The answer
- A measured baseline for your sites (electricity, gas, fleet) with an audit trail behind every figure, which is exactly what scorecard assessors reward.
- A report you can attach as evidence, structured the way rating analysts expect: method, factors, boundaries, appendices.
- A reporting cycle that means next year's re-rating starts from live data.
Straight answer: Auto-filling the questionnaires themselves is on the roadmap we're shaping with founding partners; today CarbonCut gives you the defensible numbers the questionnaire asks for.
Accountants & advisors
Your clients are getting the emissions ask. You don't want to run it in spreadsheets.
The ask
Clients under customer or tender pressure turn to their accountant first. Running carbon baselines in spreadsheets doesn't scale past the second client, and reselling an enterprise platform doesn't fit SMB fees.
The answer
- A tool your client can operate themselves after a one-hour handover. Data entry is bills, not classifications.
- Methodology and factor provenance printed on every report, so your firm's name attaches to defensible work.
- Published pricing you can put in front of a client without a procurement dance.
Straight answer: A dedicated multi-client Partner tier is planned but not open yet; talk to us if you want to shape it. Today, each client runs their own workspace.
