NetNada provides a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution that integrates with your consumption and expenditure data. The software�then functions as an analytics tool, assisting you in optimising your business and lowering your carbon footprint.
The software analyses the emissions produced by a business or organisation and recommends the most cost-effective ways to reduce those emissions in each scenario.
The product analyses your energy, electricity, fuel, travel, water, waste, recycling, supply chain, consumption, investments, data management/storage, digital footprint, products and services in order to determine your sustainability and identify opportunities for improvement.
The product analyses your business's emissions based on your expenditure and consumption data. Hence, you need to�provide invoices, CSV files, or simply integrate the product directly with your accounting software, and the product will take care of the rest!
While NetNada is geared towards businesses, you can use for household and we will conduct the same analysis as we do for work from home environments.

NetNada does offer a variety of alternative solutions, including reforestation, carpooling, and carbon offsetting. We recognise that there may be instances where businesses are unable to alter their operational structure in order to achieve carbon-neutral. As a result, we assist our clients in reducing their carbon footprints through environmental projects and non-profit organisations that we have evaluated.
The product enables your business to gain a better understanding of its consumption and usage across its supply chain. We then recommend tailored solutions that assist in reducing inefficiencies and increasing bottom-line savings. Additionally, your reporting and sustainability analysis processes will be automated, saving employees hours of time. Finally, according to our research, you are approximately 20% more likely to increase your sales as an environmentally responsible business!
NetNada calculates emissions for your employees' full-time equivalent working from home hours based on your business type, typical workload, location, hours of work and consumption data in order to provide employees with a manageable 'working from home footprint'.
We recommend that owners, sustainability leads, operations managers, and location managers all have access to the platform in order to upload any required data.
Once you've registered on our platform, you can view your business's performance in the 'Business Overview' section of your business profile!
We recommend spending approximately 15-20 minutes each week on the platform to update any data, monitor your progress, and access suggested solutions, autogenerated social media content, and news about grant opportunities.
It is as simple as a few mouse clicks! If you're already using accounting software such as Xero, you can integrate your data and we'll take care of the rest! Alternatively, you can upload your data via invoices or CSV files and the product will take it from there!
NetNada accredits businesses in accordance with the Climate Active and NABERs rating systems. These are internationally recognised for their environmental and sustainability performance by the Australian government and other governments.
Not immediately, but the good news is that you will have all of the data ready to submit!
Once you have obtained your baseline assessment, it is critical to continue monitoring your business's emissions, as your business's emissions will change over time. If you seek carbon neutral certification you you must send a report periodically to maintain your certification, which NetNada makes simple for you. You may, of course, cancel your subscription at any time.
Depending on the nature of your business and your rating objectives, your business may be certified to Climate Active Carbon Neutral standards or assigned a NABERs rating.
A carbon emission is the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Usually measured in carbon equivalent units, it's regarded as an agregate of several greenhouse gases.
A carbon credit is a marketable permit or certificate that entitles the holder to emit one tonne of carbon dioxide or an equivalent glasshouse gas.
A carbon offset is created when an activity prevents, reduces, or eliminates GHG emissions from the atmosphere. Carbon offsets are generated by emission reduction projects worldwide through activities such as renewable energy, biogas, and reforestation.
A carbon footprint is the quantity of carbon dioxide equivalent released into the atmosphere as a result of an individual's, business's, group's, organisation's, or community's activities.
The NetNada product calculates the carbon emissions associated with each dollar spent using data from our users' purchases, invoices and other accounting and consumption records. We can simplify this process for you by connecting to your accounting software or allowing you to upload invoices and CSV files to our platform. NetNada employs Input-Output Analysis (IOA) to determine your organisation's total emissions and their source. Following that, it will make recommendations based on your unique circumstances to assist you in reducing your carbon footprint and maintaining sustainable operations.
NetNada enables users to offset their emissions through environmental projects and non-profit organisations that we have assessed. However, we believe that it is more important to reduce your emissions than to offset them, and thus encourage our users to prioritise sustainable solutions.
Our baseline analysis can take as few as two minutes. The full analysis depends on a number of factors, including your business, the solutions available, and how quickly you wish to move!
NetNada offers a variety of offsetting options including programs for reforestation, combating poverty, helping people gain human rights and empowering women. We recognise that there may be instances where businesses are unable to alter their operational structure in order to achieve carbon-neutral. As a result, we assist our clients in reducing their impacts through environmental projects and non-profit organisations that we have evaluated. These projects have a measurable impact on communities and environments for the greater good of carbon reduction.
The term "Net-Zero" refers to the balance between glasshouse gas emissions and removal from the atmosphere.
We begin by assisting you in reducing your carbon emissions. We believe that the most beneficial solution for the environment and your business is to implement positive changes and increase efficiency. After that, we can offset the remainder of your carbon emissions.
NetNada is a “read-only” integration. This means that your data inside Xero is not deleted, modified, or updated in any way by using our integration.
Using the Xero integration does not automatically make your business carbon neutral. While using our software and Xero integration can facilitate your path to carbon neutrality, NetNada helps understand your business emissions and reduce them before purchasing carbon offsets.
NetNada applies Xero integration to analyse accounting data and create a clear impression of your carbon footprint. Accessing data in this structured way enables NetNada to attribute carbon emission factors to transactions in your business and perform a complete business carbon accounting calculation. Moreover, a Xero integration allows a more frequent calculation of emissions (if requested) and ensures your business has a real-time analysis of your sustainability performance to deliver optimal efficiency.
NetNada is a 'read only' app, meaning that it will never update any information inside your business Xero account.
We sync only the customer’s organisation details, chart of accounts, and 12 months of accounting journals. Read more about accounting integration scopes here.
We store your data in a cloud-hosted database secured by Google security and Privacy Policies
Your Xero integration will be revoked and you will not be able to reconnect or automatically extract data to NetNada. You can also request to have your existing data deleted. Read our Privacy Policy for more information.
You can disconnect from Xero at anytime by navigating to the overview page and click on the 'Disconnect from Xero' button.
