## Brightest Reviews
  ### 1. Terrific all-in-one sustainability tool

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Katie J. | Sustainability Consultant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 06, 2022

**What do you like best about Brightest?**

All-in-one, customizable, well-designed tool for sustainability measurement and carbon calculation - you can do a lot with it and it includes lots of helpful nice charts, dashboards, and reporting. For all the features it's not complex or cumbersome, honestly it's pretty easy to learn and use, and the collaboration features are really helpful given that we need to work with multiple internal and external stakeholders in our sustainability consulting work. The team's also great. Chris & co are very proactive and responsive, always updating the product and making it better.

**What do you dislike about Brightest?**

It's a broad tool that does a lot, so I suggest focusing on specific workflows or parts of the product in phases rather than trying to adopt it all at once. It's better to pick one specific area (like carbon accounting or supply chain) and really learn it, then build from there. Brightest has some integrations already (and an API) but would love to see even more integrations

**What problems is Brightest solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Given the complexity of our client's business we have environmental data and information all over the place - in documents, spreadsheets, and certain data in other existing tools. Brightest has given us a way to centralize all that, while automating a lot of workflows and calculations around emissions measurement and our ESG and sustainability performance. Really helpful and a big time saver vs. what we were doing previously.
