Industrial software company IFS has unveiled a new emissions measurement and reporting platform designed for companies operating in asset-heavy industries. The solution, called IFS Zero, aims to simplify how organizations track, manage, and disclose carbon emissions across their operations.

The newly launched platform uses agentic artificial intelligence to help businesses measure Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions while reducing the manual work often involved in sustainability reporting. According to IFS, the platform is built to address common challenges faced by sustainability teams, including disconnected data systems, lengthy reporting cycles, and complex compliance requirements.

IFS said the platform connects emissions data with operational systems, energy usage, and physical assets to provide a more complete picture of a company’s environmental impact. The solution also uses AI-driven automation to collect, organize, and verify information from multiple sources.

One of the main goals of IFS Zero is to replace spreadsheet-based reporting processes that many companies still rely on. The platform includes AI agents that can map data sources, validate information, identify anomalies, and generate audit-ready sustainability reports.

The company added that the platform offers near real-time visibility into emissions performance, helping businesses monitor their environmental footprint more efficiently. The software also includes an advanced calculation engine and supports regulatory compliance requirements through transparent audit trails.

As sustainability regulations become more stringent worldwide, industrial organizations are under increasing pressure to improve emissions tracking and provide accurate climate disclosures. Companies operating in sectors such as manufacturing, energy, construction, and infrastructure are especially challenged by the complexity of collecting emissions data across large operations and supply chains.

Caitlin Keam, Vice President of Manufacturing and Sustainability Applications at IFS, said the launch marks a shift in how industrial businesses approach emissions management.

She noted that many sustainability initiatives have traditionally depended on slow implementation processes and manual reporting methods. According to Keam, IFS Zero is designed to speed up emissions measurement while giving businesses clearer insight into day-to-day operational performance.

The launch reflects a broader trend of technology providers integrating AI into sustainability and ESG reporting solutions. Businesses are increasingly looking for automated systems that can improve reporting accuracy, reduce administrative workloads, and support compliance with evolving climate disclosure standards.
