In May 2024 we released our new Automated Emissions Reporting: a tool that summarizes your emissions data, pinpoints where energy data is missing in your portfolio, and streamlines public reporting and disclosure procedures. We also developed an easily accessible way to track vendors, a common painpoint we hear from our customers that we have allieviated with this new feature. In addition, we have enhanced our Compliance reporting by making it easier to understand compliance requirements across building portfolios, offering the option to export that data.

Our new Environmental Impact Dashboard automates emissions calculations and energy and water usage in one simple dashboard to make managing your data simple and straightforward for ESG reporting, tracking compliance requirements and disclosure requirements, and more.
If you are involved in reporting on emissions, then you know the difficulties lie in ensuring you have complete data and performing the nuanced calculations needed for various time ranges. The dashboard makes it easy to overcome both challenges by highlighting where there is incomplete data and automating the nuanced calculations. All of these calculation and reporting capabilities are enabled by Backpack's digitization platform that manages the collection and vailidation of utility-related data.

Knowing who is providing services across your portfolio and within a building usually requires an email, phone call, or digging up a spreadsheet that might not be up to date. With Backpack, you can now maintain this information in a centralized repository that ensures quick access to contact details.

Utility data serves many purposes, and getting the data in the right format, with the right level of detail, and in the requested units is always a challenge. Backpack now offers added flexibility and control over the utility data exports. This includes invoice data for reporting, meter-level data for detailed analysis, and the ability to convert to the units of your choice. Whatever data granularity needed is now just a single export away.
