Sustainability management

ESG management rethought — intelligently connected.

Companies are under increasing pressure to systematically implement sustainability commitments and comply with regulatory requirements such as ESRS, CSRD, or industry-specific standards. At the same time, ESG measures must be measurable, audit-proof, and efficiently managed. A specialized ERP solution for sustainability management intelligently links operational implementation, supply chain control, and reporting. This results in transparent processes, traceable evidence, and a sound basis for decision-making in relation to environmental, social, and corporate responsibility. Companies benefit from efficient ESG reporting, seamless compliance, and the ability to effectively plan and track sustainability goals.

Risk-based quality assurance system for targeted audit intensity

Audit and QA measures are not managed on a blanket basis, but according to risk profile. Criteria such as origin, product group, history, deviations, or certificate status determine audit intervals and the intensity of measures. This allows resources to be used in a targeted manner, costs to be reduced, and regulatory requirements such as IFS, BRC, or ESRS to be efficiently met. At the same time, traceability for auditing bodies and stakeholders is increased, which strengthens transparency, process reliability, and compliance along the entire supply chain.

AI-supported risk management & control optimization

Artificial intelligence analyzes QA reports, audit histories, supplier evaluations, and ESG metrics in real time. The system recognizes patterns, prioritizes audit objects, and recommends preventive measures before risks escalate. This creates a learning, dynamic system that optimizes existing control processes, identifies weaknesses at an early stage, and supports companies in making sustainability measurable and audit-proof. This solution enables sustainable improvements in compliance, risk management, and process reliability, while at the same time making efficient use of resources and significantly simplifying audits and certifications.

Automated QA process from onboarding to certification

The ERP-supported QA system accompanies the entire sustainability and certification process. New partners or suppliers are registered digitally, audit requirements are managed on a risk-based basis, and certificates are generated automatically. Deadline monitoring, document uploads, audit planning, and action tracking are standardized, traceable, and scalable. This provides companies with an efficient, audit-proof solution for sustainability-related supply chains and ESG-compliant audit processes. This solution ensures compliance, transparency, and process reliability along the entire supply chain, while at the same time making efficient use of resources and automatically fulfilling certification requirements.

An overview of the most important functions

ESG data management & reporting requirements (e.g. CSRD/ESRS)

Collect environmental, social and governance data in a structured ERP system. Report-relevant key figures are generated automatically — for CSRD-compliant sustainability reports in accordance with ESRS standards.

Contract and supplier management with ESG criteria

Evaluate and manage suppliers according to defined ESG requirements. Contracts, voluntary commitments and audit results are centrally documented and comprehensible at any time — for maximum transparency in the supply chain.

Risk assessment & sustainability indicators in real time

Risk potentials and sustainability goals are systematically analyzed and visualized. Dashboards show CO₂ emissions, resource consumption or social risks — current, measurable and relevant to decisions.

Risk-based audit management

Risk-based audit management allows you to specifically control QA measures, audit frequencies, and control intensities based on origin, product group, history, or certificate status.

Document management system (DMS)

The DMS ensures that test reports, certificates, and action plans are centrally archived, versioned, and can be retrieved at any time in an audit-proof manner.

Reporting & dashboards

Reporting & dashboards provide companies with a real-time overview of KPIs, audit progress, supplier ratings, and ESG performance indicators, which provide a sound basis for strategic decisions.

Workflow and action tracking module

The workflow and action tracking module ensures that identified deviations or actions are implemented and documented in a timely manner.

AI Features

Centralized AI-powered knowledge management & ECM

fabAI brings together company knowledge in a holistic way on an AI-powered platform for the first time. Instead of spreading data across different systems and folders, the AI accesses ERP, process metrics, financial data (FI/CO), BI systems, and documents in real time. Content is contextualized, understood, and prepared based on roles, matching the user's area of responsibility and questions. This creates an intelligent layer of knowledge that supports employees in their day-to-day business, accelerates decision-making, and creates transparency across departments and locations.

Voice control instead of click paths — natural interface for ERP users

Based on demand, ordering behavior and location data, the AI calculates which items must be available when and where. Inventory forecasting from fabAI ensures optimal distribution of goods, reduces inventory costs and minimizes shortages. This significantly improves availability, particularly in dynamic supply chains with changing demand.

Identify customer segments and understand behavior — automated cluster analysis

fabAI's AI cluster analysis automatically detects patterns, deviations, and changes in customer and process behavior—reliably, in real time, and without manual searching. This enables companies to respond early, prioritize optimizations, and avoid negative effects. Typical use cases: - Early warning system for customer churn: Identify changes in purchasing behavior and derive countermeasures - Product range analysis: Identify fluctuations in demand at an early stage and adjust offers - Delivery and quality monitoring: Identify bottlenecks or problems and optimize processes

Targeted inventory management — inventory forecasting with AI

Sales and production forecasting with AI

fabAI analyses historical order data, seasonal patterns, external influencing factors such as weather or holidays and uses this to generate accurate sales and production forecasts. This makes it possible to avoid excess quantities, make better use of production capacities and optimize procurement processes. Companies receive a data-based basis for daily operational planning — directly in the ERP.
