01
Answer customer questions
Give customers a device result with a lifecycle breakdown and its recorded basis.
What you can do with CarbonTrace
Calculate, compare and share the carbon impact of your IT.
Calculate the impact of a device or an entire inventory. Compare reuse with new purchase, answer customer questions and bring consistent IT data into your reports.
Start free with 25 calculations per month.
FROM DEVICE DATA TO A CLEAR RESULT
02
Make reuse decisions visible
Compare a refurbished device with an equivalent new-purchase scenario using stated assumptions.
03
Prepare IT reporting input
Bring device results together for management, customers and Scope 3 reporting workflows.
Customer-ready output
Show the answer, then show what it is based on
A number alone rarely closes a customer question. CarbonTrace connects the outcome to the device details, lifecycle phases and available source and model records.
- Explain which lifecycle phases drive the result.
- Share reports and certificates where your plan includes them.
- Let a reviewer inspect the stated basis instead of rebuilding a spreadsheet.
From one device to your workflow
Use the same results across your entire operation
Once the first result is useful, CarbonTrace helps you repeat the work across inventories, teams and systems.
How it works
From device details to an answer you can use
Start with one laptop or upload an inventory. The same calculation route takes you from input to a result you can review and share.
01
Enter or upload your devices
Add a device’s details, or import a CSV or XLSX file when you have a larger inventory.
02
Calculate and compare
See production, transport, use and end of life separately. Where relevant, compare refurbishment with an equivalent new purchase.
03
Share the result
Use a report or certificate for a customer conversation, and keep the calculation record available for review.
Built for review
Keep the context behind every calculation
CarbonTrace records the selected inputs and calculation route. A matching manufacturer footprint can be used where available; the category model covers other supported IT equipment. Source detail varies by factor and product.
Inputs stay with the result
See the device configuration, location, lifetime and other assumptions used.
Source and model records
Inspect available publication details, factor versions and methodology notes.
Appropriate reporting use
Use the result as IT reporting input and review its scope before external disclosure.
Try it with an IT device you know
Create your first calculation, inspect the result and decide how it can help your customers or team.
