- ESG, NetSuite ERP
In an era where sustainability is more than just a corporate buzzword, organisations are under increasing pressure to track and minimise their carbon footprint, comply with evolving regulations, and align with ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) goals. At OSSM, we are committed to helping businesses achieve sustainability targets without compromising on performance or profitability.
Through our partnership with Simble, a leader in energy management technology, we offer cutting-edge solutions that not only enhance energy efficiency but also integrate seamlessly with NetSuite. By leveraging Simble’s CarbonView and SimbleSense tools, businesses can adopt intelligent business strategies for sustainability—improving reporting accuracy, reducing waste, and making informed decisions that lead to long-term cost savings. When combined with NetSuite ERP benefits, these tools provide a powerful solution for optimising financial and operational efficiency. In this blog, we’ll explore how these innovative tools work, the benefits of integrating them with NetSuite, and how they can help businesses drive both sustainability and financial efficiency.
Why Sustainability Matters for Businesses Today
Before exploring the technological tools, it’s important to understand why sustainability is a key driver of business success in 2025. Investors, customers, and stakeholders are increasingly holding businesses accountable for their environmental impact, making ESG initiatives a critical aspect of long-term success.
By adopting smarter energy management solutions, businesses can:
• Reduce operational costs by identifying inefficiencies and optimising energy use
• Ensure compliance with national and international sustainability regulations
• Improve their competitive advantage by demonstrating a commitment to ESG initiatives
• Enhance financial reporting accuracy by incorporating sustainability data into business performance metrics
CarbonView: A Smarter Way to Manage Carbon Emissions
Understanding and managing carbon emissions is crucial for businesses looking to meet sustainability targets. Simble’s CarbonView provides a centralised platform to monitor, measure, and report on carbon footprints across multiple locations. By automating utility data entry and enhancing sustainability tracking, businesses can:
• Ensure compliance with environmental standards and regulations
• Identify areas for emissions reduction and energy savings
• Gain actionable insights through automated reporting and analytics
CarbonView’s intelligent analytics not only help businesses track carbon emissions but also provide visibility into energy consumption trends. This allows decision-makers to implement more effective sustainability initiatives while also identifying cost-saving opportunities. By consolidating data from multiple sources, businesses gain a holistic view of their environmental impact, making it easier to set realistic reduction targets and track progress.
Another advantage of CarbonView is its ability to validate utility bills, ensuring that businesses are only paying for the energy they use. This feature not only improves financial oversight but also helps in identifying billing discrepancies that may have otherwise gone unnoticed.
SimbleSense: Real-Time Energy Insights for Smarter Decisions
For businesses with high energy consumption – such as manufacturing, logistics, and retail, understanding usage patterns is essential to reducing waste and lowering operational costs. SimbleSense provides real-time energy monitoring, enabling businesses to:
• Detect inefficiencies and hidden energy costs
• Leverage IoT-powered sensors to track energy use across assets
• Automate energy-saving actions based on demand
By offering a live view of energy consumption, SimbleSense helps businesses take immediate action to optimise energy use – whether through turning off idle equipment, reducing peak-time consumption, or integrating renewable energy solutions. The result? Lower costs, improved efficiency, and a more sustainable business model.
Additionally, SimbleSense enables businesses to forecast future energy consumption based on historical data. This predictive capability allows organisations to make informed decisions about energy procurement, reducing exposure to fluctuating energy prices. With this level of insight, businesses can negotiate better contracts with energy providers and optimise their energy sourcing strategies.
Why Integrate Simble with NetSuite?
Combining Simble’s powerful tools with NetSuite allows businesses to unify financial, operational, and sustainability data within a single cloud-based platform, offering:
• Comprehensive Sustainability Reporting: Businesses can align sustainability efforts with financial performance, tracking carbon reductions alongside cost savings.
• Improved Compliance and Risk Management: Automated reporting ensures adherence to evolving ESG regulations while reducing manual errors.
• Enhanced Decision-Making: By consolidating energy usage data with financial metrics, organisations can optimise resource allocation and drive efficiency.
By integrating sustainability data into NetSuite, businesses can generate reports that not only fulfil compliance requirements but also provide transparency for stakeholders. Investors and customers are increasingly demanding detailed ESG disclosures, and having a unified platform for sustainability and financial reporting simplifies this process.
