Users enter data manually, upload sheets for AI analysis, and ask an AI guide about data sources; human GHG experts are also available for in-app support. The platform accommodates multiple business locations and sites, with dashboards spanning entities and activities, and role-based invitations for data owners, auditors, and managers. Reporting is presented for the GHG Protocol, PPN 006, and the CO2-Prestatieladder. Hedgehog says it can provide needed emission-factor databases and supports a range of industries, including construction materials, manufacturing, retail, health services, finance, and professional services. Its security measures include HTTPS, OAuth2, role-based access controls, and daily data backups; the company says its information security management system complies with ISO 27001 standards. A free plan covers five emission sources, one user, and one entity. Pro starts at €100 per month, billed annually; Expert starts at €1200 per month.
