EASY START for SMEs: Powerful Technology, Simplified for Your Business

Small and medium-sized enterprises face a growing challenge: new regulations demand structured sustainability data, supply chain transparency, and compliance documentation. At the same time, most SMEs lack dedicated compliance teams, standardized processes, or the resources to implement complex enterprise software. 

This is where purpose-built software makes the difference, software that adapts to the needs and resources of mid-sized markets. Instead of lengthy implementation phases and significant internal effort, osapiens EASY START solutions offer preconfigured workflows, automated data collection, and guided processes that allow companies to get started immediately. 

What an easy start means for your business 

Mid-sized companies need solutions that fit their reality. Enterprise solutions often demand resources, teams, and implementation timelines that SMEs simply don’t have. osapiens EASY START takes a different approach: it uses proven enterprise technology as a foundation but redesigns it specifically for the realities of SMEs. 

Each solution focuses on a specific business requirement, tackling compliance obligations, reporting demands, and operational efficiency needs. The portfolio currently includes five core solutions, each built with predefined templates and workflows that automate the heavy lifting wherever possible. 

The result: audit-ready documentation, streamlined reporting, and improved operational efficiency – without the complexity. 

Reporting Essentials: Your foundation for sustainability data management 

Managing and reporting sustainability data shouldn’t mean responding to dozens of different questionnaires from banks, customers, and business partners. That’s where osapiens EASY START Reporting Essentials comes in. The solution creates a single source of truth for your sustainability data, with predefined templates for VSME and GRI standards, custom KPI tracking, and an integrated carbon footprint calculator covering Scope 1 through 3 emissions. 

Generate standardized reports with a single click instead of manually filling out forms for each stakeholder. Reporting Essentials handles XBRL tagging for regulatory submissions and automates report generation, so you spend less time on paperwork and more time running your business. 

EUDR compliance: Prove your products are deforestation-free 

The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) requires proof that products made from or containing commodities like coffee, cocoa, soy, palm oil, timber, rubber, or cattle don’t contribute to deforestation. For most SMEs, that means tracing complex supply chains and collecting documentation from multiple suppliers. osapiens EASY START EUDR simplifies this process. It automates traceability, runs risk analyses, and makes data collection from your suppliers straightforward. 

Exchange data with the EU TRACES portal at the click of a button, without needing to build internal compliance expertise. EUDR compliance becomes a manageable task rather than an overwhelming project. 

PPWR: Navigate packaging regulations with confidence 

The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) introduces new transparency requirements around packaging materials, recyclability, and composition. Meeting these requirements means collecting detailed data from your suppliers and documenting everything in a legally compliant way. osapiens EASY START PPWR automates this data collection and helps you maintain the documentation you need. 

Beyond packaging regulations, PPWR supports various product compliance requirements, making it easier to manage multiple regulatory obligations from a single platform instead of juggling separate systems. 

CMMS: Digitalize your maintenance management 

At mid-sized companies, maintenance management is often still handled manually – yet it’s critical for operational efficiency and safety. Manual tracking means missed tasks, delayed repairs, and potential safety issues. osapiens EASY START CMMS brings digital maintenance management within reach, with automated task assignment, real-time tracking, and safety-critical checklists. 

The solution is available with a free trial, allowing you to test the system and see the impact on your operations before committing. 

Fisheries Control Regulation: Meet traceability requirements efficiently 

For companies in the seafood supply chain, the EU Fisheries Control Regulation mandates detailed traceability throughout your supply chain. Gathering and transmitting this data manually is time-consuming and error-prone. osapiens EASY START FCR transmits data seamlessly throughout the supply chain and helps you meet traceability requirements efficiently. 

A proven, free onboarding process ensures you can get started quickly without extensive internal preparation or technical expertise. 

From regulatory burden to strategic advantage 

Compliance requirements are often viewed as burdens, but companies that get their data under control gain tangible advantages. Better documentation leads to lower financing costs, as banks increasingly factor sustainability performance into lending decisions. Strong compliance also strengthens your position in the supply chain, as business partners prioritize suppliers who can demonstrate transparency and regulatory adherence. 

EASY START solutions minimize manual effort through automation and guided workflows, allowing you to turn regulatory obligations into competitive advantages without building large internal teams. 

Getting started 

The EASY START portfolio continues to expand, with additional solutions in development. For SMEs facing new regulatory requirements or looking to improve operational efficiency, these solutions offer a practical path forward without the complexity of traditional enterprise software.
