SERVICE
Automated, accurate, audit-ready sustainability data
“GLYNT worked with us every step of the way, always focused on getting us the accurate, verified data we need as soon as possible.”
Sustainability Specialist, Procurement, Global Manufacturer
What data challenges did this manufacturer face?
With just 1.5 FTEs and no developer support, the team manually transcribed utility invoices in 14 languages from three different ERP systems. Formats, units, and terminology varied by country, and each invoice was dense — packing in 5–20 meters.
The team needed a solution that could:
- Deploy without developer resources
- Process dense, multi-meter invoices
- Unify data across three ERP systems
- Automate multi-lingual invoice processing
- Stream data into the carbon reporting software they had
How were these sustainability data challenges solved?
GLYNT.AI replaced manual effort with automated ESG data collection. The sustainability team now forwards its energy, fuel, water, and waste bills, and GLYNT.AI returns structured, audit-ready sustainability data that flows into their carbon accounting software.
GLYNT.AI also handles the complexity that made manual work so difficult:
- Unpack complex, multi-meter invoices into granular data
- Aggregate and harmonize data across 14 languages
- Deliver seamless data flows into carbon accounting software
- Generate a separate, granular data file for energy expense management
- Automatically update data every month
What sustainability data results did GLYNT.AI deliver?

Frequently asked questions
What is ESG data collection?
ESG data collection is gathering the data behind ESG reporting from its sources: utility bills, invoices, ERP systems and supplier records. GLYNT.AI covers the environmental side of ESG: energy, fuel, water and waste data. It collects that data automatically, in any format or language, and delivers it checked and audit-ready to your reporting systems.
Does GLYNT.AI handle invoices in multiple languages?
Yes. GLYNT.AI automatically processes invoices in multiple languages, including non-Latin character sets, and harmonizes the data into one consistent format. This manufacturer’s invoices came in 14 languages.
Can GLYNT.AI work across multiple ERP systems?
Yes. GLYNT.AI is built to consolidate data from multiple, disconnected ERP systems, so we can bring it all into a single unified data source.
Does GLYNT.AI require developer resources to implement?
No. GLYNT.AI is built to work without dedicated developer support, even for small sustainability teams.
How long does it take GLYNT.AI to deliver usable data?
GLYNT.AI delivers usable data within days of onboarding, not weeks or months. For this manufacturer, the first site’s data arrived in 5 days.
What utility data types does GLYNT.AI cover?
GLYNT.AI processes energy, fuel, water and waste data, including invoices that cover multiple meters.
Does GLYNT.AI integrate with carbon accounting software?
Yes. GLYNT.AI customizes outputs to feed directly into your existing carbon accounting software, and also provides a separate, meter-level data file for energy procurement.
How often does GLYNT.AI update data?
GLYNT.AI updates data monthly, on a fully automated schedule, so your team is never stuck doing last-minute manual reporting.
Can GLYNT.AI handle the complex energy and fuel bills of a global manufacturing center?
