Discover the key differences between traditional ESG software and Ella, an AI ESG agent that provides solutions instead of just data, automates processes, and predicts problems before they happen.
Most ESG software isn't good enough.
Companies buy it hoping it'll make sustainability easier, but usually it just creates more work. Instead of simplifying ESG, it leaves teams stuck with data and reports that don't change anything.
Ella is different. She's not ESG software. She's an ESG agent. The difference matters.
Regular ESG software mainly collects data. It shows you charts and reports, but then leaves your team to decide what to do next. Data alone doesn't fix sustainability problems – it just makes them more obvious.
Ella does more than collect data. She looks at it, spots problems, and then tells you exactly what to do. Instead of leaving your team guessing, she gives clear instructions.
ESG software: Provides information.
Ella: Provides solutions.
With most ESG software, you still have to do the hard parts yourself. You need people to check compliance, spot risks, and create reports. The software helps, but doesn't actually do the job.
Ella is built differently. She checks compliance rules like CSRD, SEC, and SFDR every day. If rules change, Ella adjusts how you report automatically. Tasks that usually take days become instant with Ella, because she does them for you.
ESG software: Automates some tasks.
Ella: Automates the whole process.
When your company grows, ESG software usually becomes harder to manage. More suppliers or new locations mean more complexity, and more complexity means more manual work for your team.
Ella doesn't have this problem. She scales easily. If you add new suppliers or more locations, Ella adjusts right away. You don't need extra setup, extra people, or extra time.
ESG software: Becomes harder as you grow.
Ella: Scales easily as you grow.
Traditional ESG software only alerts you after something goes wrong. If you have a compliance problem or emissions spike, the software tells you – but by then it's often too late.
Ella is smarter. She monitors your ESG performance constantly and spots risks early. She tells you before something becomes a problem, so your team can fix it ahead of time.
ESG software: Reacts after issues happen.
Ella: Warns you before issues happen.
Ella isn't just better software. She's a new way of thinking about ESG.
Instead of focusing on collecting data, Ella focuses on helping your team make better decisions. Instead of compliance being something your team fears, Ella turns it into something simple and automatic.
💡 The Result: Companies that use Ella don't just have better ESG reports – they actually improve sustainability.
