Lythouse is a purpose-built ESG platform (by Zycus, a global procurement leader) empowering enterprises to track emissions, meet compliance, and achieve real sustainability goals.
01
Organizations are overwhelmed by fragmented ESG data from carbon emission types and scope categories to custom formulas, making it hard to find clarity or take action.
02
Organizations deal with ESG data coming from multiple sources like ERPs and vendor systems. Mapping this data to the right categories and emission factor is a complex, high-risk task.
03
AI is woven into carbon calculations, emission factor mapping, and reporting but making its outputs clear, editable, and trustworthy for users remains a critical and complex UX challenge.
To build a powerful, AI-driven ESG platform that’s intuitive for business users, robust for data analysts, and scalable for enterprise needs – all while turning complex sustainability data into clear, actionable insights.
After gaining an understanding of the product, we began mapping out the user personas. The product will cater to multiple user types, which are as follows:
Lythouse had multiple ESG modules, each needing different cards. To reduce dev effort, we designed a master card – a flexible base that powers all other cards across the platform.
Carbon Analyzer is a tool designed to help businesses accurately measure, monitor, and manage their carbon footprint – this feature focuses on tracking carbon emissions, a crucial step toward meaningful environmental action.
Reporting Studio is a tool built to help organizations create ESG reports, stay aligned with global standards, and meet regulatory demands with confidence – this feature focuses on ensuring compliance with global ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) regulations.
Goal Navigator is a tool designed to help companies set targets, track outcomes, and deliver on sustainability goals – this feature drives ESG progress by turning ambitions into measurable action. Together, these tools enable a complete ESG journey, from compliance to transformation.
We worked closely with stakeholders to simplify dense, modules like Carbon Analyzer and Reporting Studio into clear, step-by-step flows – reducing fatigue and making onboardings smoother.
We embedded AI where it actually drives value, assisting with emission mapping, report filling, and goal setting so users could move faster, with less friction and more confidence.
Sustainability leads to suppliers and auditors, we built flows that adapt to each user – ensuring clarity, control, and seamless collaboration across the entire ESG ecosystem.
We designed Merlin AI to feel like a silent teammate. Built into every corner of the platform, it auto-maps data,
suggests ESG goals, speeds up reporting, and answers questions in real time.
