Case Study: Wilson Sons cuts Scope 3 reporting time by 90% with SINAI

Wilson Sons cuts Scope 3 reporting time by 90% with SINAI

Wilson Sons, one of Brazil's largest port logistics and maritime services companies, faced a critical challenge when new regulations shortened their Scope 3 emissions reporting timeline by 3.5 months. They needed to classify 500,000 purchasing records from SAP, a manual process that was taking up to ten weeks for just five of their nine business units and was preventing them from expanding their reporting. They turned to vendor SINAI and its AI Emissions Match product to find a solution.

By implementing SINAI's AI-enabled workflow, Wilson Sons automated the classification process. This reduced their Scope 3 cycle time by 90%, cutting it from up to ten weeks of manual work down to just one week and saving an estimated 300 hours per inventory cycle. The subsequent audit was completed in under four hours. Furthermore, SINAI's solution increased classification granularity from about 50 categories to over 700, providing more precise data and finally making it operationally viable to expand Scope 3 reporting to all nine business units.
