Not only do we have a great set of technical experts as a part of our team every day. But, the level of detail and thoughtfulness of what they deliver is so good, that a simple explanation of the next idea serves as the basis for them to take it and turn into reality. MindK’s support allows us to focus on core business, product growth and our customers’ needs.

Radically simplified data entry

CSR reporting can be overwhelming for users, especially, with manual data entry. There were just too many conversion and emission factors differing by activity, type, or fuels.

To solve this issue, we introduced a convenient DIY reporting kit. Users can pick all the necessary indicators, save the form, then use it for future reports.

Comprehensive company and user management

Every company has a different hierarchy and organizational structure. For this reason, CEMAsys provides multi-level hierarchies of departments, subsidiaries, and suppliers.

With 7 different user roles, employees can have different access levels for each module. A single sign-on makes it easy to manage credentials for the whole enterprise.

A clear view of KPIs and analytics

An interactive dashboard helps users set up, track, and improve energy reduction initiatives.

Users can securely import historical CSR data. 20+ graphs help modeling the impact of different scenarios on future sustainability.

Supply chain management

Companies want to ensure all their suppliers follow the same social responsibility standards. To meet these needs, we created a flexible survey and analytics module.

A simple wizard allows users to add questions with custom weights, and send them to suppliers and their subsidiaries. The results are displayed on a graphical dashboard for easier analysis.

Secure document management library

Cloud storage makes it easy to manage, access, and share data on the go. All the documents attached to surveys are automatically saved to the library. The import function allows the exchange of large amounts of data with other systems.

CEMAsys covers the entire range of sustainability needs for European and global enterprises.
