About The Customer

Axis is a property services company that is facing increasing pressure to address the real estate sector's contribution to global emissions. The company is experiencing a shift in customer expectations, with sustainability playing a critical role in winning bigger contracts. However, the company's ability to keep pace with these changes is hindered by legacy processes. The company's team member, Oliver, is spending a significant amount of time pulling fragmented data points into spreadsheets, which offer little insight. The company is in need of a solution that can help them set reduction targets and take strategic action on their carbon emissions.

The Challenge

Axis, a property services company, is under growing pressure to address the real estate sector's contribution to 40% of global emissions. Tenders in this industry used to be decided by balancing price and quality. However, sustainability is growing in weight, often playing a critical role in winning bigger contracts. The shift in customer expectation has happened quickly, but the industry’s ability to keep pace is hindered by legacy processes. Oliver, a member of the Axis team, felt like he was spending all of his time pulling fragmented data points into bloated spreadsheets that offered little insight. He knew that in order to actually set reduction targets and take action on Axis’ carbon emissions, he would need a solution that would give him the space to be more strategic.

The Solution

To address the challenges faced by Axis, the company turned to Emitwise, a carbon management platform. This platform enables companies to progress to the strategic stages of sustainability. With streamlined data collection and automated calculations in the platform, the team at Axis finally had the space to focus on insight and action.

The Emitwise platform provided functionality and outputs that could be applied across three key areas: market differentiation, unlocking bigger contracts, and gaining internal recognition.
