    The problem

    A clear mission and no build team. Reporting had to suit very different industries and hold large volumes of data securely.

    What we built

    An emissions engine, a real-time dashboard, an onboarding wizard, role-based access and Net Zero goal tracking.

    The result

    Live and in use, delivered by one accountable partner from architecture to launch.

    The full story

    A UK SaaS startup came to TechChaps with a clear mission (help organisations measure, manage and reduce their carbon footprint) and no build team. The product needed an intuitive dashboard covering data input, analytics and rewards; reporting flexible enough for very different industries; and a database design able to handle large volumes of emissions data securely.

    What we built: a full carbon accounting SaaS, taken from specification to a live product:

    • Carbon accounting engine: collates, measures, tracks and reports emissions across business activities, with prior-period comparison and full Scope 3 / SECR reporting
    • Real-time, customisable analytics and reporting dashboard
    • Onboarding wizard so non-specialist users can self-serve
    • Role-based access control with secure authentication
    • Net Zero goal tracking with sustainability badges
    • Data management: mass upload, custom emissions categories, carbon-intensity metrics

    Team: 1 IT consultant, 1 project manager, 1 designer, 3 developers, 1 QA tester. Stack: Vue.js, Node.js, MySQL.

    The result: the product is live, serving enterprises that measure and report their emissions. A non-technical founding team got a production SaaS, architecture through deployment, from one accountable partner, without assembling their own engineering team.
