The challenge
- Complex technical integration
- Evolving regulatory landscape
- Limited resources: startup culture
The objective
Ecofiniti supported the design and development of Albo's unique SaaS platform that enabled businesses and organisations to verify and evidence deforestation-free products across complex supply chains.
To support product development and commercial readiness, Albo Climate set out to build a fully operational SaaS platform for real-time environmental intelligence, develop a scalable back end for multiple ecosystems and metrics (carbon, biodiversity, climate risk), enable instant compliance checks for EUDR using AI and satellite data, and demonstrate product capability to investors and key pilot clients.
The solution
Defined the technical architecture for scalable monitoring of carbon stocks, deforestation and biodiversity across diverse ecosystems.
Built a rapid analysis engine that allows users to draw or upload coordinates and receive EUDR compliance results in under 60 seconds.
Integrated encrypted, QR-code traceability to enable secure, end-to-end visibility from producer to product.
Implemented anomaly detection and due diligence tools, including alerts for commodity laundering (e.g. grain, beef), land rights risks and non-compliance.
Prepared technical assets and live demos to support fundraising efforts, pilot client onboarding and regulatory engagement.
Benefits
Market differentiation
Albo is one of the only platforms offering instant EUDR compliance analysis with full ecosystem and supply chain traceability.
Investor confidence
A working MVP helped secure early funding and shortlist Albo for prestigious grants (e.g. EIC Accelerator, Google for Startups).
Scalable intelligence
The system is now prepared for global deployment and supports multiple metrics including carbon dynamics, habitat integrity and climate risk.
“[Ecofiniti's] contribution to Albo has been immediate and huge. [They] demonstrated incredible dedication, fantastic interpersonal relationships, and an extreme understanding of climate-related business. In addition, [they] put in place the productisation process within Albo, with a great ability to synthesise sparse ideas into organised concepts and actions. It is a real privilege to work together.”
