Before your first compass

The documents to gather, and nothing else.

Three documents are enough to build your compass: your supply invoices, your energy invoices and your accounts. The platform derives most of the 27 indicators from them. For the rest, a guided assistant asks you the questions, one at a time.

Allow ten minutes for a sole trader, two hours for a larger SME. If a document is missing, we work without it or estimate it together during the session.

Organised by document, not by indicator

The list follows the order in which you will go looking for documents, not the structure of our indicators. You upload a document, Noria takes what it holds, and you move to the next one.

1 · Supply invoices Suppliers, for the year
  • Supply costs for the year
  • Non-renewable share of those supplies
  • Origin of supplies, where the invoice states it

The most rewarding document of the set: it feeds the circularity pillar, where tensions show up first.

2 · Energy invoices Electricity, gas, fuel
  • Consumption and amounts, by energy source
  • Scope 2

Nothing to produce: your invoices are enough to estimate it, and Noria works it out for you.

3 · Your accounts Income statement, tax return
  • Turnover for the year
  • Operating profit and financial result
  • Effective tax rate

The only figures the platform does not derive from invoices. If you do not have them, the guided assistant asks you for an order of magnitude.

Then the guided assistant One question at a time, never a form
  • Headcount and payroll
  • Main suppliers and their respective weight
  • Share of supplies sourced within 250 km
  • Supply volume affected by a shortage
  • Number of independent sales channels and revenue sources
  • Share of turnover in everyday consumption
  • Customer retention or loyalty rate
  • Site locations and natural hazards in the area

None of these answers is indispensable, and "I don't know" is one of them: we then estimate with you, and the compass remains readable.

What we bring Nothing for you to do
  • Inflation for the year and working days
  • Carbon intensity of the power grid
  • Natural hazard indicators for your locations
  • Sector benchmarks for comparison

They fill themselves in without you, from public sources we query.

One clarification, because it matters. You have no environmental data to produce: the invoices you already receive feed most of the 27 indicators, your accounts provide the financial remainder, and the guided assistant completes them with a few questions. What you do not know, we estimate with you during the session.

Are your invoices to hand?

Then use them straight away: you upload them, the compass fills in, and one session of an hour is enough to read it together.
