The challenge
The team needed to assess their products’ lifecycles to measure the carbon footprint of their materials. Siloed data and manual processes made it difficult to match product lifecycle inventory data with the product formula cards and, therefore, optimize the information to reduce environmental impact.
Kubrick delivered a proof of concept to demonstrate that the data could be utilized, allowing the product development teams to assess the impact of changes on the carbon footprint over a product’s lifecycle.

The approach
Kubrick worked with the client to deliver to all aspects of project delivery, from requirements gathering, data engineering, to product build and user testing.
The squad created an interactive visualization product which allowed the R&D team to:
- Model different product formulas
- Analyze raw materials
- Measure their carbon footprint throughout the product lifecycle
To facilitate adoption, the team created user guides, demonstration videos, and logs to record and amend any potential data quality issues.
