API image endpoints
New API endpoints for uploading and managing images on products, materials, suppliers, and switches.BOM import
A new bill of materials (BOM) import feature allows uploading structured BOM data from CSV files to create
product hierarchies.CO2e display improvements
CO2e values are now displayed with better formatting, handling very small numbers and using consistent precision.Supplier API
New public API endpoints for managing suppliers - create, read, update, and delete supplier records.API token management
API tokens can now be created and managed directly from the UI, with configurable permissions.Viewer role
A new read-only user role, Viewer, allows stakeholders to view data without edit permissions.Processing calculator updates
Processing calculators now support any unit type, giving more flexibility in how manufacturing processes are
modeled.Materials import
Materials can now be imported in bulk from CSV files with automatic field mapping.Supplier archive
Suppliers can now be archived, removing them from active views while preserving their data.Transition plan timeline
A new timeline view for transition plans allows tracking sustainability goals and milestones over time.Public API launch
The Variable Public API has been launched, providing RESTful endpoints for programmatic access to products,
materials, and environmental data.Weight tracking
Product weight tracking has been introduced, supporting mass-based calculations and unit conversions.Electricity modeling
Full electricity modeling support has been added, including electricity activities, location-based emission
factors, and renewable percentage tracking. Electricity is now a first-class element type in the LCA model.
PreviewReport export
LCA reports can now be exported for sharing and archival purposes. PreviewUsers can now request carbon footprint data from suppliers directly through the platform. PreviewActivity query improvements
Activity queries have been significantly optimized for better performance with large datasets.Global UsedIn
The “Used In” view is now available globally, showing where any material or product is referenced across the
entire organization.Transport UI and locations
Transport modeling has been updated with improved UI, named transport lanes, geolocation search with
previously used locations, and sea route matching.The PACT (Partnership for Carbon Transparency) API implementation has been updated to meet conformance
requirements, including proper unit handling and sector-specific rules.Transport element
Transport is now a first-class element type in the LCA model, with dedicated distance entry, mode
matching, and emission factor support.Product carbon footprints can now be exported for sharing with external stakeholders. PreviewDigital product passport
Initial support for digital product passport (DPP) data structures and display.Data visualization
A new data visualization module provides charts and visual breakdowns of environmental impact data, with
privacy controls for sharing.CPC codes
Central Product Classification (CPC) codes can now be assigned to products, improving alignment with
international classification standards.Activity date handling
Activity date change handling has been improved with better validation and edge case support.
