At Sumday, we believe sustainability reporting should feel empowering, not overwhelming. So, we’ve rolled out a fresh batch of updates designed to take the complexity out of carbon accounting and give you more clarity, speed, and confidence in every step.

From storytelling tools to AI that actually helps, everything here is built from your feedback and shaped by the real work you’re doing.

Let’s take a look 👇

Profiles – Your Sustainability Story, Shared

You’ve done the work. Now show it off!

Profiles let you showcase your emissions data, the actions you’re taking, and who you are as a company—think of it as your public sustainability profile. Perfect for tender submissions, customer conversations, or just making your climate impact part of your brand story.

Only available for Xero-connected users (for now!)

Smart Suggestions – AI That Knows What You Mean

Let’s be honest: reconciling emissions data can get fiddly. That’s why we built Smart Suggestions, AI that reviews your transactions and suggests the most likely emission source. You’re always in control, but now you’ve got a sidekick that saves time and helps you get it right, faster. Especially helpful for tackling Scope 3.

Quick Estimate – Fast, Insightful, Ready to Share

Need to know your emissions picture right now? Quick Estimate reviews your imported transactions (plus any energy and fuel data you’ve added) and gives you a high-level view of your emissions profile in minutes.

It’s not your full footprint, but it’s brilliant for early insights, spotting emissions hotspots, and getting the conversation started, with built-in AI prompts to help guide you.

Onboarding Modals – The Right Help, Right When You Need It

Supplier Onboarding – More Clarity, Less Confusion

Suppliers are a crucial part of your emissions picture—but asking them for data used to be a little confusing. We’ve changed that.

Now, when suppliers get a request, they’ll see exactly what’s being asked, why it matters, and how to respond. It’s all about confidence and clarity, with built-in support if they need a hand.

🛠️ Fixes & Fine-Tuning

A few important tweaks behind the scenes:

✅ You can change emission sources even after marking a transaction as “Excluded.”

✅ Rules can now be applied to Custom emission sources

✅ Sumd[AI] is faster and now streams responses as you type—plus it can tap into Quick Estimate data.

✅ We’ve added Flatfile for importing transactions—so you can now upload data from any system and map it on the go.

This is just the beginning!

Everything we’ve launched thus far is based on your ideas, your questions, and the way you work. So keep the feedback coming as we’re building this with you!

Explore the new features right now, and let us know what you think, we can’t wait to see what you do with them!
