Sustaining Supply Chains (SSC) is on a mission to help businesses take control of their carbon emissions via data-driven insights and actionable recommendations. With increasing regulatory demands organizations worldwide need efficient, standardized tools to manage emissions data effectively. This is where Sustaining Supply Chains steps in. They provide businesses with strategies needed to meet compliance requirements and optimize sustainability efforts. However, with a lean team and complex calculations, being efficient without getting bogged down by manual tasks became a challenge.
Having previously worked with Architechts, a Creatio implementation expert, SSC already understood the power of automation. They once again turned to Architechts to implement Creatio’s no-code platform, transforming their manual, fragmented processes into a seamless, scalable system. This transition enabled them to automate calculations, standardize workflows, and empower clients with self-service tools—allowing their team to focus on what truly matters: helping businesses reduce emissions efficiently.

Key Deliverables
One Unified Platform for Carbon Footprint Management
Automated Calculations
Enhanced Client Accessibility
Self-Service, Scalability, and
Speed with No-Code B2B Portal
With Creatio, a significant portion of SSC’s daily operations is now fully automated. At the core of this transformation is Creatio’s B2B portal, a powerful tool that provides external users—clients—with their own secure workspace.
Creatio’s portal functions as a controlled environment with tailored permissions, ensuring each client accesses only relevant sections of the system. This self-service capability allows businesses to log in, directly input their emissions-related information, and manage their data while Creatio handles the complex, time-consuming task of running calculations and generating results. By eliminating the need for SSC’s team to manually process data, the platform ensures better accuracy and scalability.
Instead of spending hours manually running calculations, we can now dedicate our expertise to advising clients on reducing their emissions.
This shift has been a major efficiency boost for SSC, allowing the team to step away from repetitive data processing and instead focus on high-value consulting. The result? Faster, standardized emissions tracking for clients, increased scalability, and a more streamlined approach to sustainability reporting.
Empowering Business Processes with No-Code
SSC has embraced Creatio’s no-code capabilities to automate business processes, reduce manual workload, and create a system that adapts to their needs without relying on coding. The entire platform—from emissions calculations to data summarization and reporting—has been built using Creatio’s workflow automation and object management tools.
One of the biggest advantages of the no-code platform for SSC is the ability to modify and expand the system on their own. SSC’s team can easily adjust data fields, update calculations, and add new functionalities as their business evolves.
No-code empowers us with accessibility and control—when I need a change, I can make it myself, then simply have it checked and deployed. It’s a game-changer in efficiency and agility.
Beyond simple modifications, SSC has also developed new applications within Creatio. Each app represents a different category of carbon emissions, such as business travel, materials usage, or facility management. Clients can activate the apps they need within SSC’s B2B portal, allowing them to customize their emissions tracking experience.
Scalability and Revenue Growth with No-Code
Since SSC can now easily build and deploy new apps using Creatio’s no-code capabilities, they can expand their offerings without significant development costs. This allows them to increase the value of their services, offering a tailored solution to each client while generating additional revenue.
Each emissions category—whether business travel, materials, or facility management—is, as mentioned earlier, structured as a separate application in the B2B portal. Clients start with a base set of applications and can expand their package by purchasing additional ones as needed.
This scalable model allows SSC to offer a flexible pricing structure, where clients only pay for the specific emissions tracking functionalities they require. As businesses expand their sustainability initiatives, they can use new applications.
We've already built seven applications, and every time we need a new one, I can develop it myself based on existing templates. This allows us to scale our services efficiently and provide tailored solutions to each client.
Future Plans and AI Integration
SSC is continuously evolving its platform to stay ahead of industry demands and enhance its service offerings. The company is focused on further automation, integrations, and no-code enhancements to make emissions tracking more seamless and scalable.
Some key areas SSC is focusing on include:
AI is also playing a pivotal role in shaping SSC’s roadmap, particularly in how users interact with data. Architechts see potential for development in AI-driven data mining as a key opportunity to unlock deeper insights, making emissions tracking not only automated but also predictive—helping organizations make smarter, data-backed sustainability decisions.
I can see where there's space for teams to explore datasets using natural language—simply asking, 'What trends do you see? Is there anything in the data that stands out?' That kind of accessibility makes advanced analytics far more intuitive.
