Smart Balance is a purpose-built digital solution by Carboledger that helps companies manage ISCC compliance across ISCC PLUS, ISCC EU and REDcert-EU using the mass balance approach. It automates credit tracking, Sustainability Declaration generation, and audit documentation across complex supply chains—ensuring traceability, transparency, and certification readiness. With features like central dashboard, multi-supplier credit management, real-time inventory visibility, SD approval workflows, and configurable warehouse setups, Smart Balance helps reduce manual work, prevent compliance errors, and streamline sustainability reporting.

The mass balance approach allows certified and non-certified materials to be mixed while ensuring that the output of certified material does not exceed input. Smart Balance automates mass balance calculations, tracks material flows across your supply chain, and generates real-time mass balance reports to meet ISCC standards.

Smart Balance uses AI-powered data integration and validation tools to track material movements, batch-level certifications, and sustainability claims. It provides auditable records, material traceability dashboards, and version-controlled documentation to maintain transparency across standards such as ISCC PLUS, ISCC EU and REDcert-EU

Yes. Smart Balance reduces manual data entry, spreadsheet errors, and compliance gaps by digitizing ISCC documentation, automating certificate validations, and centralizing audit-ready records. This minimizes human error, accelerates audit readiness, and lowers the risk of certification non-compliance.

Yes, Smart Balance allows clear identification of separate Balance Mass Balance (BMB) attributes per supplier's Sustainability Declaration (SD), including key characteristics like waste feedstock origin. The platform enables users to combine credits from multiple SDs—each with distinct attributes—into a single product while maintaining full traceability. Credit inventories are visible at every stage, including inputs and all outputs, and the system automatically documents source SDs, attribute mapping, and allocation logic.

Smart Balance includes safeguards to warn or block transactions with customers whose ISCC PLUS certifications are missing or expired, based on regularly updated certification data. Additionally, outgoing SDs are not sent automatically—users can review and hold them before issuance. There is also an optional 2-step approval process, allowing a designated admin to review and approve an SD before it is finalized, ensuring quality control and audit readiness.
