For medium-sized businesses and SMEs

ESG software for medium-sized businesses that cuts costs first.

Where emissions are generated, costs are almost always incurred. strait makes both visible in a single invoice — and CO₂ accounting according to Scope 1, 2, and 3 runs continuously in the background, instead of starting from scratch once a year.

Over €3,500/year in savings potential already identified

Starting position

ESG data fails because of the database, not the formula.

When figures are gathered once a year from invoices, spreadsheets, and emails, it costs time, does not withstand any scrutiny, and does not save a single euro.

Manual and error-prone

Values are reconstructed from scattered sources at the end of the year instead of being recorded on an ongoing basis.

Incomprehensible

If no one knows where a number comes from anymore, it can neither be verified nor replicated.

Of no use in day-to-day business

A balance sheet that only reports does not change a single consumption. Only when the same data also shows the costs does a reason to change something arise.

"We started with electricity, water, air quality, and temperature, and saw consumption patterns we'd never had on our radar before. Then we added the level sensor in the silo. In the past, an employee had to climb up regularly, and all the machines stood still while they did. Today we can see the level live in the dashboard. That alone saves us over €3,500 a year. At the same time, all our ESG data comes together automatically. We're now well prepared for new ESG requirements."

How it works

Get started in 3 steps

Step 1

Intro call

In a short call, we take a look at your business and clarify where the biggest lever is and whether strait is the right fit for you.

Step 2

Setup

We install the sensors, set up your site, and train your team, so everything runs with no effort on your part.

Step 3

Get started

You use strait day to day: compare sites, implement measures, and pull records at the push of a button.

Cover

The Corporate Carbon Footprint: Scope 1, 2, and 3

Scope 1 — direct emissions

Own combustion and processes: gas, heating oil, wood and fleet — the basis of every greenhouse gas balance.

Scope 2 — purchased energy

Electricity, district heating, and cooling from meter data instead of estimates.

Scope 3 — Supply Chain

The categories for which purchasing, billing, and operational data are available. What is missing is named instead of estimated.

Frequently Asked Questions

What medium-sized businesses want to know in advance

What is ESG software?

Software that calculates and continuously updates consumption, purchasing, and operating data into sustainability metrics — including carbon footprinting. The difference compared to a spreadsheet is that every value remains linked to its source and timestamp instead of being reconstructed once a year.

Do we as an SME even need ESG software?

This depends less on the size of the company and more on how often figures are requested and how high the energy costs are. For many SMEs and medium-sized businesses, sustainability software pays off first on the cost side — with the documentation being a byproduct.

Is ESG software also available near me?

strait runs in the browser and is therefore independent of location — whether in Nuremberg, the Ruhr area, or East Westphalia. Businesses are supported throughout Germany; only the optional sensor technology is installed on-site. Hosting is in the EU.

What data is needed for a reliable CO₂ footprint?

For Scope 1 and 2, meter data, fuel consumption, and fleet data are usually sufficient. For Scope 3, purchasing and invoice data are also included. The process starts with what is available — missing items are identified rather than overestimated.

Does the software cover Scope 3?

It structures purchasing, invoicing, and operational data as the basis for Scope 3 assessments. Which categories become resilient depends on the data situation and the chosen accounting framework, not on the software alone.
