Services

Ecodesk enables organisations to improve the management and performance of their supply chain and to reduce their inherent risk through the collection and aggregation of ESG data presented. Ecodesk is not a ratings or rankings provider but does provide flexible supplier scorecard solutions via what is termed an SAQ (self-assessment questionnaire). Like most software providers in the market it displays data to enterprise users in the form of dashboards and digital reporting functions. The SaaS platform is supported by a managed service aspect which helps suppliers with their data submission and understanding their non-financial reporting obligations. The platform is free-to-use for entities responding to a data request and levies a charge for enterprise users to connect with their extended supply chains. This unique approach of "free data" entry and simple communication differentiates it from its competitors and encourages co-operation and data input at all levels.
