By linking CarbonX directly with systems such as ERP, finance, and digital invoicing software, organizations can ensure that real operational and financial activities automatically feed into carbon accounting, reporting, and performance analytics.
This reduces manual work, improves traceability, and strengthens the reliability of environmental data used for compliance and strategic reporting.

1. Overview
The Integrations page provides an at-a-glance overview of all external platforms that can be linked to CarbonX, along with real-time connection and synchronization status.
Administrators can easily view which systems are currently connected, monitor data flow, and initiate new integrations through a secure and guided setup process.
Displayed Information Includes:
Connected Integrations: Shows the total number of active external connections currently linked to CarbonX.
Data Collected: Displays the cumulative number of records or transactions imported via connected integrations.
Below the overview, each supported integration appears as a card displaying:
Integration name and logo,
Short description of its functionality, and
A Connect button to initiate configuration or manage existing connections.
Purpose:
To provide a single control center for managing all external data pipelines that supply CarbonX with verified operational and financial data — ensuring that emissions calculations and sustainability reports remain accurate, consistent, and up to date.
2. Available Integrations
From the current CarbonX configuration, three core external integrations are supported. Each connection serves a specific function within the sustainability and emissions management process.
Each integration card displays a status badge showing whether the system is connected and a Connect button for configuration.
Integrations that are not yet established display setup prompts, while active ones show data synchronization details and timestamps of the last successful sync.
3. Connecting an Integration
To establish a new connection, click Connect on the desired integration card.
This opens a configuration side panel tailored to the requirements of the selected system.
Example: EDM e-Fatura Integration Setup
Required Fields:
Kullanıcı Adı (Username): Account username from the EDM e-Fatura system.
Parola (Password): Secure authentication password.
Başlangıç Tarihi (Start Date): Defines the date from which historical data should begin importing.
Once these credentials are entered, click Save to activate the connection.
CarbonX securely authenticates with the external system via encrypted API communication and begins importing relevant datasets such as invoices, financial transactions, or procurement entries.
After the initial sync, data from these integrations appears automatically within:
Emission Management → Data Inventory
Emission Management → Results
Reporting modules
This integration ensures that carbon accounting is continuously updated with verified operational information.
Security Note:
All connections use end-to-end encryption and token-based authentication to protect sensitive financial and operational data.
4. Activity Log
The Activity Log tab — accessible from the top navigation bar of the Integrations page — tracks all connection events and data synchronization activities.
It provides a complete audit trail of integration behavior, ensuring transparency and traceability.
Log Features:
Connection Attempts: Records successful and failed connection attempts with timestamps and user details.
Synchronization Events: Displays when and how much data was imported from each integration.
Error Reports: Highlights any failed imports or mismatched data entries for troubleshooting.
Update Summaries: Shows total number of new or updated records per synchronization cycle.
This feature is especially useful during audits, IT reviews, and data validation processes — providing proof of system integrity and traceable data lineage.
5. Integration Benefits
Connecting CarbonX with external systems delivers significant efficiency and governance benefits that enhance both operational workflows and sustainability reporting quality.
Key Advantages:
Automation: Eliminates repetitive manual data entry by automatically syncing invoices, energy usage, and procurement data.
Accuracy: Ensures that all emissions are derived from verified, transaction-level data rather than estimates.
Data Traceability: Every emission value can be traced back to a corresponding operational record, improving auditability.
Continuous Synchronization: Automatic background updates ensure that sustainability dashboards and reports always reflect current information.
Audit Readiness: Strengthens the reliability of sustainability disclosures by linking carbon accounting to certified financial and ERP systems.
Cross-Module Data Enrichment: Imported data enhances the depth and quality of insights across Emission Management, Reporting, and Performance Metrics modules.
Impact Example:
When integrated with EDM e-Fatura, CarbonX automatically imports electricity and fuel invoices, applies relevant emission factors, and updates Scope 2 and Scope 3 calculations — all without manual input.
6. Integration Status Indicators
Each integration includes a status label for real-time visibility into its operational state.
Hovering over the status indicator displays detailed information such as:
Last Successful Sync: (e.g., “Completed on Oct 10, 2025, 14:32 UTC”)
Total Records Imported: (e.g., “2,380 new invoices this month”)
User Responsible: The administrator who initiated the setup or last sync.
7. Use Case Example
Scenario:
A manufacturing company connects its ERP platform (QNB e-Solutions) and invoice management system (EDM e-Fatura) to CarbonX.
Process and Outcome:
CarbonX automatically imports invoice and operational data daily.
The AI engine classifies records by emission category (e.g., purchased goods, logistics, or electricity).
Each transaction is mapped to corresponding Emission Factors (EFs) for automatic CO₂e calculation.
The emissions inventory updates dynamically in Emission Results and Reporting.
When an auditor reviews the sustainability report, each emission source is traceable back to its originating financial record.
Result:
This automation eliminates redundant data entry, improves reporting precision, and provides a fully verifiable link between financial performance and carbon accounting — achieving both efficiency and credibility in sustainability management.
8. Best Practices
Always verify API permissions and test the connection after setup.
Use Activity Log regularly to confirm that data is syncing as expected.
Coordinate with IT or ERP administrators to maintain valid credentials.
Periodically refresh integration tokens for security compliance.
Contact CarbonX support for advanced regional or multi-system integrations.
Enable automatic background synchronization where available for real-time updates.
