We build software for the numbers that get questioned.
YOTTANEX is an enterprise software company working in ESG, sustainability and energy. Our first platform is Carbonex.
Reporting grew faster than the data underneath it.
Over the last decade, the volume of sustainability disclosure asked of large organisations has multiplied. The quality of the underlying data has not kept pace with it.
In most organisations the real work still happens in spreadsheets that pass between departments, in email threads that carry the only explanation of how a figure was derived, and in a final consolidation step where the gaps get quietly filled so that the report can be finished on time. When the auditor asks where a number came from, the honest answer is often that nobody can fully reconstruct it.
That is not a failure of diligence. It is a failure of tooling. The people doing this work are careful; the systems they have been given do not preserve what they know.
YOTTANEX exists to close that gap – to build the kind of system that treats a sustainability figure with the seriousness that a financial figure has been treated with for a century.
Four commitments, and what each one costs us.
A figure you cannot trace is an opinion.
Every value in our systems is designed to carry where it came from, how it was derived, who touched it and when. What it costs us: it is slower to build and it makes our software harder to demonstrate quickly, because this kind of rigour is invisible until the moment someone needs it.
Missing is not zero.
Missing, unavailable, not applicable and explicitly approved estimate are four different states and we keep them apart. What it costs us: our reports will sometimes look less complete than a competitor’s. That is the point.
One product, not one product per customer.
We build one platform with industry packs we verify, and we do not keep a separate version of it for individual customers. What it costs us: we will say no to customisation requests that would break the consistency the rest depends on, and some deals will be lost that way.
Say what the software does, not what a buyer wants to hear.
We describe planned mappings as planned mappings. We do not call software compliant. We do not claim a capability before it is built. What it costs us: our marketing is less exciting than it could be.
The engineering position underneath all of it.
One shared evidence and governance model. Environmental, social, governance, materiality, targets, suppliers, frameworks, analytics, risk and AI emissions all sit on the same underlying record. That is harder than building nine separate tools that each keep their own data, and it is the reason a figure can be traced all the way through.
Nothing is erased. The record of what happened is not edited. A correction is added as a new entry with its own author and its own reason, rather than replacing what was there before.
Access decided by the platform. What a person can see and do is decided by the platform itself, and every organisation’s information stays separate. The screen reflects those rules rather than setting them.
SaaS only. Carbonex is a cloud service that we operate. We do not ship software for customers to run themselves, and we do not intend to.
Multilingual by construction. English and Arabic are both being built in from the start, not added as a translation layer afterwards.
ESG, sustainability and energy – for now.
These are the fields where the gap between what organisations are asked to report and what their systems can actually prove is widest, which makes them the right place to start.
YOTTANEX is an IT solutions company rather than a sustainability company, and we may build in other domains in future. If we do, it will be because the same problem exists there: consequential numbers, weak evidence, and no system that keeps the difference visible.
Honestly, the stage we are at.
YOTTANEX is a young company and Carbonex has not launched. We have no customers to name, no case studies to show you and no independent analyst placement, because a company at this stage cannot legitimately have any of those things.
What we do have is a product we can explain in detail and a public roadmap with no invented dates on it.
