Measuring footprints at enterprise scale.

A global medical technology company needed software to calculate product environmental impacts instantly from its ERP data. We scouted providers, vetted them with experts and questionnaires, and shortlisted three for demos and pilots.

The Client

The client is a global medical technology company focused on patient care innovations. It wanted to simulate how changes in materials, logistics, energy and other factors would shift its footprint.

The Challenge

Footprints are complex.
Make them instant.

Prescouter was asked to find software that could instantly calculate the environmental impacts of the client’s products by drawing data directly from its enterprise resource planning databases.

  • Integration

    ERP connection

    Pulling data straight from ERP.

  • Speed

    Instant calculations

    Impacts computed on demand.

  • Scenarios

    What-if modeling

    Testing materials, routes and energy.

Our Approach

Narrowing the field through stage-gated vetting.

Technology scouting
10potential providers found

Scout the market

Our researchers used public data, databases, white papers and expert interviews to find providers.

Questionnaires
3providers shortlisted

Vet the shortlist

We assessed technical and business strengths, from ERP integration to partnerships and roadmaps.

Software demos
3demos conducted

See it in action

We scheduled demos with all three providers ahead of pilot studies.

The Outcome

Three tools ready for pilot studies.

Prescouter completed 3 intelligence briefs, identified 10 potential providers and refined them to 3 through a stage-gated approach shaped by client feedback. All 3 were assessed against client specifications, recommended for engagement and pilot studies, and shown in live demos.

  • Scouting

    10 providers

    Identified across capabilities.

  • Shortlist

    3 recommended

    For engagement and pilots.

  • Demos

    3 live demos

    Run with every finalist.

Sustainability data is only useful when it flows from systems teams already use. Integration should be the first test, not the last.
