Case Study: Building a Carbon Accounting & Energy Management Platform from the Ground Up

Background

Our client wanted to move beyond generic tools and build a tailored carbon accounting and energy management platform. The goal was to empower businesses with real-time, data-driven insights that could reduce energy costs, track emissions, and simplify compliance reporting.


Challenge

  • Existing off-the-shelf tools were costly, rigid, and limited in performance.
  • No infrastructure in place for scalable energy data collection and real-time processing.
  • Needed accurate, ISO-compliant GHG reporting for Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.
  • Required seamless integration of IoT sensors to track energy consumption and system performance.

Solution: End-to-End Ecosystem Development

We designed and developed the entire ecosystem from the ground up, covering full-stack development, scalable infrastructure, IoT integration, and advanced analytics.

Key Achievements

🔹 Custom-Built Platform – Migrated away from off-the-shelf products, reducing costs and increasing efficiency while giving the client complete control over customization and security.

🔹 IoT Integration – Selected, tested, and integrated energy IoT sensors, boosting system reliability by 60% and enabling real-time fault detection.

🔹 Scalable Infrastructure – Designed a self-managed VPS architecture with Docker containers, database replicas, and automated backups, ensuring robust and reliable operations.

🔹 Advanced Analytics & ETL Pipelines – Implemented ETL pipelines to move from NoSQL to a columnar database. This reduced query times by 80% and powered ISO-compliant GHG dashboards for accurate emissions tracking.

🔹 DevOps & Agile Delivery – Introduced CI/CD pipelines, monitoring systems, and agile workflows to deliver the project within just six weeks while ensuring long-term stability and scalability.


Results

  • 80% faster queries for real-time insights.
  • 60% reliability improvement in IoT-based monitoring.
  • Cost savings from moving away from rigid, off-the-shelf tools.
  • Future-ready infrastructure to support rapid data and user growth.

Impact

The client now has a custom, scalable, and efficient carbon accounting platform that enables accurate emissions tracking, real-time monitoring, and significant cost savings. Businesses using the platform can make smarter energy decisions and meet compliance requirements with ease.
