Company and product

Direct answers about what Dcycle is, who uses it, and when it is a fit.

What is Dcycle?

Dcycle is a data platform. Your company already generates environmental data: energy, materials, waste, logistics, and supplier information. Dcycle structures it once so it serves many outputs at the same time.

Instead of rebuilding the same numbers for every report, audit, or questionnaire, teams move from disconnected spreadsheets to one traceable data model that feeds reporting, cost decisions, operations, and audits.

Who is Dcycle for?

Dcycle is for companies that already generate environmental data and want it to work for more than one purpose: cost, operations, reporting, and audit evidence.

It is used by finance, operations, sustainability, and compliance teams that need shared data instead of manual reporting cycles that start from scratch every time.

Is Dcycle a data platform?

Yes. Dcycle is a data platform that structures environmental data so a single datapoint can serve reporting, cost analysis, operational decisions, and audit evidence.

It combines workflows, evidence, calculations, and outputs so teams reuse the same data across many frameworks instead of rebuilding it for each one.

What does collect once, use everywhere mean in Dcycle?

Collect once, use everywhere means Dcycle structures your environmental data a single time and then reuses it across reports, dashboards, audits, and business decisions.

One energy, logistics, procurement, finance, or supplier datapoint can support cost analysis, carbon footprint, CSRD, EcoVadis, CDP, and audit evidence. No re-entry and no reformatting.

How does Dcycle turn environmental data into business decisions?

Dcycle connects environmental data with operational sources such as energy, logistics, procurement, suppliers, and finance, so the same numbers that go into reporting also drive decisions.

This makes it easier to spot inefficiencies, prioritize savings, compare entities, and explain the work in cost and operational terms. Reporting is one output, not the whole point.

Reporting and compliance

Answers about CSRD, ESRS, EINF, multi-framework outputs, and assurance.

Does Dcycle help with CSRD reporting?

CSRD is one of the outputs that come from your data in Dcycle. Once your environmental data is structured, it maps to ESRS requirements and keeps evidence for assurance.

The goal is less manual work and full traceability. Every datapoint stays linked to its source, whether it ends up in reporting, a cost analysis, or an audit.

Can Dcycle support EINF reporting in Spain?

Yes. EINF is one of the outputs your structured environmental data can produce in Dcycle, alongside broader EU requirements such as CSRD and ESRS.

Spanish companies reuse the same data model for national and European needs instead of maintaining a separate process for each.

Can the same environmental data be reused across frameworks?

Yes. Dcycle is built so one structured dataset feeds many outputs: CSRD, ESRS, EINF, CDP, SBTi, GRI, internal KPIs, and cost analysis.

This avoids rebuilding the same spreadsheet logic for each standard or stakeholder request.

Does Dcycle create audit-ready reports?

Dcycle links every reported figure to its source documents, calculations, approvals, and history, so outputs are audit-ready by construction.

Auditors review the evidence trail directly instead of asking teams to reconstruct where each number came from.

Which frameworks can Dcycle support?

One structured data model in Dcycle feeds work across CSRD, ESRS, EINF, CDP, EcoVadis, SBTi, GRI, ISO 14001, ISO 14064, EU Taxonomy, and internal reporting, savings, and operational decisions.

Coverage depends on company scope and modules, but the principle is constant: structure the data once and produce many outputs from it.

Does Dcycle help with double materiality for CSRD?

Yes. Dcycle structures the data and evidence behind double materiality inputs and the ESRS workflow, so the process is traceable end to end.

Double materiality still needs business judgment and stakeholder context. The platform organizes the process and connects every conclusion to reporting evidence.

Can Dcycle prepare EcoVadis and CDP responses?

Yes. EcoVadis and CDP responses are outputs Dcycle builds from the environmental, carbon, supplier, and evidence data already in the platform.

For CDP, AI-assisted workflows speed up questionnaire preparation while human review and evidence control stay in the process.

Carbon footprint and Scope 3

Answers about emissions, Scope 1, Scope 2, Scope 3, and supplier data.

Does Dcycle calculate carbon footprint?

Yes. Dcycle calculates corporate carbon footprint across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 from activity data and emission factors, using the environmental data you already collect.

Consumption, purchases, transport, travel, and supplier data are organized so calculations are repeatable, traceable, and reusable for cost decisions, operations, and reporting.

Can Dcycle calculate Scope 3 emissions?

Yes. Dcycle calculates Scope 3 across supplier, logistics, travel, and purchased-goods categories, and improves data quality over time.

It combines primary supplier data with activity-based calculations where primary data is not yet available.

How does Dcycle improve Scope 3 visibility?

Dcycle organizes supplier, purchase, logistics, and travel data in one place and links every calculation to evidence.

This shows which categories, suppliers, routes, and entities drive emissions and cost, so you can act on the data, not just report it.

Does Dcycle support supplier engagement?

Yes. Dcycle helps you request, collect, organize, and reuse supplier data for Scope 3, cost, and reporting needs.

Supplier workflows are most useful when companies move from estimates toward primary data.

Which emission factors does Dcycle use?

Dcycle works with recognized emission factor sources selected for your company, sector, geography, and need.

The key control is traceability: every calculation shows the activity data, factor, source, version, and result.

Implementation, integrations, and AI

Answers about deployment, data sources, integrations, automation, and AI workflows.

How long does Dcycle take to implement?

Implementation can start in weeks once scope, data owners, and the first objective are clear.

Complexity depends on the number of entities, data sources, outputs, and supplier workflows involved.

Can Dcycle connect to existing systems?

Yes. Dcycle works with your existing business systems and data sources, so environmental data does not live only in spreadsheets.

Typical sources include invoices, ERP exports, procurement, energy, logistics, travel, and supplier data.

How does Dcycle use AI?

Dcycle uses AI to speed up data work: classification, document interpretation, anomaly detection, and report preparation.

AI supports the workflow, while traceability, review, and evidence stay central to reporting, savings, and operational decisions.

What is Leia, Dcycle AI?

Leia is Dcycle's built-in AI. It reasons over your environmental data, classifies information, drafts outputs, and surfaces operational insights.

It is designed to accelerate expert work, not remove data ownership, review, or assurance controls.

What is the Dcycle MCP Server?

The Dcycle MCP Server lets approved AI tools query your data through controlled interfaces, so teams can ask questions about emissions and operations safely.

It is built for AI-assisted analysis while permissions, data access, and traceability stay under control.

Can Dcycle connect to SAP, Sage, Dynamics, NetSuite, or TravelPerk?

Yes. Dcycle works with systems and exports from SAP, Sage, Dynamics, NetSuite, TravelPerk, invoices, spreadsheets, and supplier files.

The exact integration method depends on your stack, data quality, and scope.

Does AI replace human review in Dcycle?

No. AI accelerates data work and report preparation, but human review, methodology, approvals, and evidence checks stay in the process.

That matters for regulated outputs, audits, and any decision that affects cost or operations.

Does Dcycle replace sustainability consultants?

No, and it does not have to. Dcycle gives companies and advisors a shared data system so advisory work focuses on decisions, quality, and strategy.

Teams use the platform to cut repetitive data work while keeping expert judgment for materiality, methodology, and assurance.

Buying, support, and security

Answers about demos, pricing, support model, data control, and security expectations.

How much does Dcycle cost?

Pricing depends on company size, scope, modules, entities, and implementation needs.

The fastest way to get accurate pricing and an estimate of the savings is to request a demo with your objectives and data sources.

What support does Dcycle provide?

Dcycle provides support from specialists who help teams onboard data, improve workflows, and produce outputs, from cost analysis to reporting, savings, and operational decisions.

Support is about making your data usable, not just fixing technical issues.

What should I prepare before a Dcycle demo?

Prepare your main objectives, outputs, entities, countries, data sources, deadlines, and the teams involved in data collection.

This lets Dcycle show the most relevant workflows, from cost and carbon footprint to CSRD, supplier engagement, or audit evidence.

Can Dcycle work for companies with several subsidiaries or sites?

Yes. Dcycle consolidates environmental data across subsidiaries, sites, facilities, and geographies with multi-entity management.

It supports local data ownership and centralized outputs at the same time.

Does Dcycle work with consulting firms and partners?

Yes. Dcycle gives consulting firms, partners, and internal teams a shared data system and evidence trail.

Partners spend less time chasing files and more time on methodology, analysis, and decisions.

Is data secure in Dcycle?

Dcycle keeps your environmental data controlled, traceable, and accessible only to the right users.

For sensitive information, review access controls, data residency, permissions, audit logs, and contract terms during procurement.
