Lumenia ERP HEADtoHEAD™ Guest Post from OSSM.
In today’s business landscape, achieving sustainability goals is not just about doing the right thing for the environment – it’s also a strategic decision that drives cost savings and efficiency. With growing pressure to reduce carbon footprints and comply with international sustainability standards, businesses need solutions that not only track their environmental impact but also help them take meaningful actions toward sustainability. At OSSM, we’ve partnered with Simble, a leading provider of energy management software, to offer innovative solutions that empower businesses to meet their ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) goals, reduce energy costs, and optimise their operations.
Through Simble’s two powerful tools; CarbonView and SimbleSense – businesses can effectively monitor their carbon footprint, track energy consumption, and take action on energy savings. But the true magic happens when this data is integrated into NetSuite. By combining the power of Simble’s energy management software with NetSuite, businesses can seamlessly report and manage sustainability data, making smarter decisions that support both environmental goals and financial performance.
The Simble CarbonView: Measuring and Managing Your Carbon Footprint
Simble’s CarbonView helps businesses track and monitor their carbon footprint while working toward sustainability targets. It consolidates energy and resource data from multiple sites into a single database, enabling businesses to monitor progress and stay on top of compliance. The software automates utility data entry and applies a systematic approach to bill validation, making it easier to manage sustainability data. Businesses can identify opportunities to reduce emissions, improve energy efficiency, and meet their sustainability goals.
CarbonView also offers powerful analytics to support financial management. It generates reports that highlight cost-saving opportunities, helping businesses optimise energy use and analyse utility procurement. By consolidating all sustainability data, businesses can track the impact of energy-saving initiatives, promote behavioural change, and make smarter decisions for long-term sustainability and cost reduction.
SimbleSense: Real-Time Data for Smarter Energy Decisions
SimbleSense empowers businesses, especially heavy energy consumers like manufacturers to monitor and manage their energy usage in real time. By analysing consumption patterns, it uncovers hidden costs and inefficiencies, helping businesses take corrective action and reduce expenses.
Beyond identifying waste, SimbleSense enables businesses to control and optimise energy consumption using IoT technology. Smart sensors and monitoring devices continuously collect and transmit real-time energy data, providing a live view of how power is being used across different assets or locations. This allows businesses to detect inefficiencies instantly, set automated controls, and remotely adjust energy usage based on demand. Whether it’s turning off idle machinery, reducing peak-time consumption, or integrating energy-saving strategies, SimbleSense helps businesses make data-driven decisions that lower costs and improve efficiency. More than just cost savings, SimbleSense supports long-term sustainability by integrating energy-efficient upgrades like solar panels, battery systems, and smart lighting to help businesses move toward carbon neutrality.
Integrating Simble with NetSuite for Unified Sustainability Management
While Simble’s software provides powerful tools for tracking and managing energy usage, its true value is unlocked when integrated with NetSuite. As a leading cloud-based business management solution, NetSuite allows companies to centralise financial, operational, and sustainability data in one platform. By connecting Simble’s solutions with NetSuite, businesses can gain deeper insights, improve reporting accuracy, and make data-driven decisions that align sustainability efforts with overall business strategy.
1. Comprehensive Sustainability Reporting
NetSuite’s reporting capabilities will allow businesses to combine sustainability data from Simble with financial metrics. This will help demonstrate the impact of energy efficiency initiatives and carbon reduction efforts in a broader business context, offering insights into cost savings and long-term profitability.
2. Cost Reduction and Compliance
Linking Simble’s energy data with NetSuite will help businesses to identify cost-saving opportunities while ensuring compliance with environmental regulations. By analysing energy inefficiencies alongside financial reports, businesses will be able to take informed action to reduce waste and improve sustainability efforts.
3. Simplified Data Management
Integrating Simble with NetSuite will allow businesses to consolidate sustainability data in a single system, reducing the need for manual data entry and minimising errors. Automating this process will improve reporting accuracy, providing businesses with real-time insights to support smarter decision-making.
4. Enhancing ESG Performance with Simble and NetSuite
Integrating Simble’s CarbonView and SimbleSense with NetSuite presents a powerful opportunity for businesses to strengthen their ESG strategies. By combining real-time energy monitoring with NetSuite’s reporting and analytics, businesses can track carbon emissions, identify areas for improvement, and ensure compliance with environmental regulations – all while uncovering cost-saving opportunities. This integration will enable businesses to align sustainability initiatives with financial, operational and compliance targets, creating a more transparent and responsible approach to ESG management.
