Report numbers you can trace back to a document.
Trip activity, supplier declarations and invoices are captured as the work happens. Agents apply your own factors and method, chase the gaps early and keep the source beside every figure.
The problem
What slows sustainability teams down.
The calculation is rarely the hard part. The hard part is assembling evidence that an auditor or a customer will accept, from records that were never kept for reporting.
The data exists, in many places.
Distances sit in telematics, loads in the TMS and supplier figures in email. Every reporting cycle starts with collecting them by hand.
Every figure has to defend itself.
Auditors and customers ask where a number came from. A figure without its source document is hard to stand behind.
Missing evidence is found too late.
Gaps, expired documents and unclear supplier figures surface near the reporting deadline, leaving little time to resolve them.
Agents
Agents for sustainability teams.
Each SymAgents™ agent starts from a trigger, works in the systems your team already uses and stops at the gate where a person decides.
Sustainability Data Readiness Agent
Checks whether required purchasing, shipment, energy, waste and supplier records are complete for each reporting period, and flags gaps while they can still be resolved.
- Data owner decides
- Correct the record, provide evidence or approve the stated gap
- Outcome
- Reporting data checked before period close
Emissions Measurement Agent
Calculates emissions for each trip from distance, load and vehicle type, and keeps the source records, method and factor beside the figure.
- Sustainability lead reviews
- Approve the method and investigate flagged calculations
- Outcome
- Trip emissions logged with calculation evidence
Supplier Declaration Collection Agent
Requests the declarations required from each supplier, checks what comes back and follows up on missing or incomplete responses.
- Supplier owner approves
- Each external supplier request. The sustainability lead defines reporting requirements and reviews unresolved data gaps
- Outcome
- Supplier declarations on file with their sources
Reporting Pack Assembly Agent
Assembles the figures for a reporting period, identifies unresolved gaps and links each number to its source, method and assumptions.
- Sustainability lead decides
- Review and sign off the reporting pack
- Outcome
- Reporting pack ready with supporting evidence linked
The agents
Read, check and draft
- Log trip activity from the movements already recorded
- Apply the factors and method your team approved
- Chase missing supplier declarations early
Your team
Keeps every decision that involves you
- The methodology and every emission factor
- Every figure that is reported or disclosed
- Every request that reaches a supplier
In practice
Two workflows, start to finish.
Each run shows its sources, its plan and the person who approved it, so the team can check the work before anything changes.
01Supplier Declaration Collection Agent
Gaps are chased while there is time to fill them.
At the start of a period the agent lists the declarations your method needs, checks what each supplier has sent and drafts a request for anything missing or unclear. Gaps surface months before the deadline, while the people who can fill them are still easy to reach.
- Requests drafted from your own template
- Each declaration kept with its source and date
- A person approves every supplier request
02Reporting Pack Assembly Agent
Every figure arrives with its source attached.
Before a reporting deadline the agent assembles the figures for the period and measures the pack against your completeness targets. It lists every gap with an owner, and every number links to the trip record, declaration or invoice behind it.
- Completeness measured before the deadline
- Every number linked to the document behind it
The platform
The products behind these agents.
Every solution runs on the same platform, so each new workflow builds on the connections, context and controls already in place.
- SymAgentsThe library of ready agents these workflows come from
- SymConductorRuns each workflow from its trigger to the closed record
- SymContextLinks records, documents and decisions in the Operations Graph
- SymConnectReads and writes the systems your team already uses
- SymTrustPermissions, approvals and guardrails on every action
- SymPulseTraces every step of every run, so it can be replayed
FAQ
Questions sustainability teams ask.
The answers cover what the agents do, the systems they work with and where a person decides.
No. Symplichain is an execution and evidence layer. Agents collect activity data as the work happens, apply the method and factors your team has approved and keep the source beside each figure. Your reporting tool or adviser keeps the methodology, and no certification or assurance is claimed.
Only the factors your team approves. They are loaded with their source and version, and every logged figure records the factor and method behind it. When a trip has no approved factor, the agent flags the gap instead of choosing one.
It comes from records your operation already creates, including telematics, the TMS, driver apps and carrier updates, connected through SymConnect. The Live Track and Trace Agent captures the shipment journey, while the sustainability agents calculate trip emissions, collect supplier declarations and assemble the reporting pack with supporting evidence.
Every answer and every proposed action shows the records and documents behind it. Arithmetic, dates and tolerances are checked with fixed rules, and missing data is labelled instead of estimated. SymPulse records each step of a run, so it can be traced and replayed later.
No. Symplichain sits over the systems you already run. SymConnect reads and writes them with the permissions each system already enforces, so the record stays where it lives today. Suppliers, carriers and customers do not need to change tools.
