Dashe Reviews and Details

Questions & Answers

1. Why should a person choose Dashe over its competitors?

   Most carbon reporting solutions are either expensive enterprise platforms that require months of implementation, or consultant-led services that deliver an annual PDF full of estimates. Dashe's sits in the gap - affordable enough for mid-market organisations, powerful enough to track Scope 1, 2 and 3 in real time, and simple enough to be live in a day. The data is activity-based and auditable, meaning it stands up in tender submissions, investor reporting and regulatory compliance - it's output is directly useable to return value. Dashe was build from 10 years of watching businesses spend thousands on carbon reporting and get nothing usable back.

2. How would you describe the primary audience of Dashe?

   • Sustainability managers, operations directors, bid managers and commercial directors at mid-market organisations.
   • Particularly relevant for construction contractors bidding on public sector frameworks, manufacturers and professional services firms with net zero targets, housing associations, NHS trusts, local authorities, event organisers and logistics companies.
   • Dashe is also well suited for digital and tech products and services - even tracking carbon from things like development hours, hosting, storage and video communications accurately and with granularity.
   • Designed for organisations that need credible carbon data without the cost or complexity of enterprise sustainability platforms.

3. What's the story behind Dashe?

   Dashe was co-founded in Leeds by Steve Bullen and Andy Woodward after spending 10 years working in the sustainability industry and watching businesses get failed by the tools and services available to them. Companies were spending tens of thousands on consultants and software and ending up with spreadsheets full of estimated data that was out of date before it was finished - and couldn't be used to make decisions, win tenders or market their progress. Dashe was build to replace that with something that actually works in the real world. Real-time, contactless carbon tracking that gives organisations data they can trust and use from day one.

4. Which are the primary technologies used for building Dashe?

   Cloud-based SaaS platform with accompanying mobile app, desktop app and API integrations to connect with existing business systems for automated data collection. AI-assisted data processing for emissions calculations using activity-based methodologies aligned with the GHG Protocol. Built to support SECR, ESOS and UK Sustainability Reporting Standards compliance.

5. What makes Dashe unique?

   Dashe tracks carbon emissions in real time using activity-based data rather than spend-based estimates. Most carbon reporting tools and consultants produce annual reports based on proxy calculations - Dashe connects to your existing business systems and gives you live, auditable emissions data from day one. The Dash3 supply chain module lets suppliers share actual emissions data directly into your reporting, replacing the surveys and spreadsheets that most organisations rely on. Organisations are typically live within a day of onboarding.
