The trade-offs

Where Avarni falls short.

–Built around structured ERP and spend data. If your records live in PDFs, scans and site spreadsheets, someone has to get them into shape first.
–Where supplier data is missing, gaps are filled with spend-based estimates, the least precise method under the GHG Protocol.
–Factor mappings are reviewed by your team or a consultant, and gap analysis and governance work is referred out to partner consultants.
Avarni may still suit you if
Your data already sits cleanly in an ERP and you have a sustainability team or consultant to review the mappings.
Where we differ

Scope 3, AI native.

01
Send it as it is.
Spreadsheets, PDF invoices, scanned bills, phone photos of fuel dockets and supplier files go in alongside your ERP feed. No templates to fill in and no data cleaning first.
02
Scope 1, 2 and 3, fully automated.
Agents read every document, classify each line, pick the emission factor and run the calculation. You review exceptions, not rows.
03
Someone else owns the method.
Our forward deployed engineers set your boundaries and methodology once and keep them current, so nobody on your team has to become a carbon accountant. See CarbonAgent
Questions

Switching from Avarni, answered.

Is ESGAgent an alternative to Avarni?

Yes. ESGAgent calculates Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions and prepares AASB S2 disclosures. The difference is the input: you can send spreadsheets, invoices, scans and photos as they are, and the extraction, factor mapping and calculations are automated.

Can Avarni read invoices, bills and photos?

Avarni lists AI extraction from invoices and fuel and energy bills, and spreadsheet uploads. We could not find support for photos or phone images on its public website as of September 2026.

Who is Avarni a better fit for?

Organisations with large, structured spend datasets and in-house sustainability staff, and consultants running emissions inventories for clients.

What do we need to send ESGAgent?

Whatever you already have. ERP and accounting exports, fuel and utility data, supplier spreadsheets, PDF invoices, scanned dockets and phone photos. Agents read and classify each item, and our engineers set the boundaries and methodology with you once.
