So how do you deliver accurate, audit-ready sustainability data — faster?
The Short Answer: Automate Intelligently.
The Longer Answer: INSYNCR.
From 4 Months to a Few Hours: The Acme Inc. Case
Let’s start with a real-world transformation.
Acme Inc., one of Europe’s leading private equity firms, oversees sustainability reporting across 55 portfolio companies. Before automation, consolidating ESG data took up to four months per reporting cycle — involving hundreds of hours, manual spreadsheets, and countless coordination calls.
By adopting INSYNCR’s reporting automation, Acme Inc. cut that entire process down to just a few hours — while improving the consistency, traceability, and quality of their reports.
“We were able to streamline the entire ESG reporting workflow across all portfolio companies. What used to be a marathon is now an afternoon task.”
The Problem with Manual Sustainability Reporting
Manual Reporting
Automated Reporting with INSYNCR
4–12 weeks per cycle
A few hours
High error rate (copy-paste, outdated)
Near-zero error rate (live linked data)
Siloed Excel files
Centralized, auditable PowerPoint reports
High coordination overhead
Single-source dynamic templates
Difficult to trace data origins
Built-in audit trail per datapoint
Boredom-creating workflows
Scalable, repeatable, role-based access
Manual ESG reporting might feel familiar — but it’s unsustainable. Accuracy doesn’t come from more time; it comes from better systems.
Why Speed Doesn’t Mean Sacrificing Accuracy
A common fear? That automating sustainability reporting will make the output feel generic or imprecise.
“We didn’t want a black box or generic ESG dashboard. What we needed was control and flexibility — without wasting time formatting charts. INSYNCR gives us both.”
INSYNCR ensures live connections to your original data sources (Excel, SharePoint, MySQL databases). Your team stays in control of every figure, every template, every slide — while removing the need for copy-paste or cross-checking hundreds of cells.
The Difference INSYNCR makes
INSYNCR is purpose-built for data-driven recurring reporting. Here’s how we help sustainability teams:
- Live Data Integration: Connects directly to your data stack — Excel, cloud storage, APIs.
- Role-Based Control: Different stakeholders can edit templates, validate data, or view reports — securely.
- Audit-Ready Workflows: Full traceability across every report.
- Massive Time Savings: Cut reporting cycles by up to 70%, freeing time for real strategy.
Use That Saved Time Strategically
Less time formatting slides = more time to:
- Interpret the data and spot trends
- Refine your ESG strategy
- Communicate more persuasively with stakeholders
- Prepare for audits or investor Q&A with confidence
In other words: you shift from reporting to leading.
