Software Selection Service

Software is a key enabler to companies with emerging sustainability ambitions. Moving from spreadsheets and emails to an organized sustainability hub reduces the risk of error and improves the quality of data which ultimately drives better decision-making. However, the sustainability market is overwhelmed by dozens of SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) companies vying for their piece of the pie in an ever-expanding market to support companies on their climate journey.

ESG OWL Approach

We utilize our extensive experience and expertise in enterprise software to help you select, set up, and utilize software that meets your company’s current and future needs related to sustainability, carbon accounting and ESG.

Our approach to software selection begins with a needs assessment to identify the pain points and key feature requirements needed by the manufacturer. Next, we analyze the customer’s requirements to develop a shortlist of available software vendors. ESG OWL will lead the manufacturer through assessment and demonstration phases of the decision-making process. Ultimately, we will provide a recommendation that takes into account the software’s capabilities, customer service capabilities, price, and reputation that will be best for the client.

We may support the contracting process with the selected vendor. Our in-house experts will guide you through the software implementation to ensure the project stays on track and delivers the expected value.
