Carbon accounting is becoming less of a spreadsheet exercise and more of an enterprise data problem. TPIsoftware is putting AI into that workflow with GreenSwift, its carbon management platform, which Ho-Team Construction has used to collect, calculate and report greenhouse-gas emissions in a process that has now received third-party verification from Bureau Veritas.
The development offers a practical example of how AI is moving beyond generative content and productivity tools into specialized enterprise workflows where data quality, auditability and regulatory compliance matter.
Taiwanese software company TPIsoftware is expanding the use of artificial intelligence in sustainability management, supporting Vietnamese construction company Ho-Team Construction with its carbon inventory and emissions reporting through GreenSwift.
The project is notable less for the use of AI alone than for where it is being applied: carbon accounting, an increasingly data-intensive process that requires companies to gather activity information, select appropriate emissions factors, calculate greenhouse-gas emissions and produce documentation that can withstand external scrutiny.
Ho-Team Construction began working with TPIsoftware in 2025 and used GreenSwift to conduct its greenhouse-gas inventory. Bureau Veritas subsequently provided third-party assurance for the inventory report within the defined assessment scope, with the process aligned with ISO 14064-1:2018.
GreenSwift is delivered as software-as-a-service and is designed to centralize emissions data across an organization. Its AI assistant provides guidance during data entry, including recommendations around emissions factors, while AI-assisted reporting is intended to reduce the manual effort involved in preparing an inventory.
That distinction matters. Carbon-management software is not simply a matter of attaching a chatbot to an existing dashboard. The underlying challenge is fragmented enterprise data.
Construction companies, for example, may need to combine information from fuel consumption, electricity, equipment, facilities, procurement and other operational activities. Data can sit across departments and sites, creating gaps in the audit trail and making consistent calculations difficult.
TPIsoftware says GreenSwift is designed to bring those workflows into a centralized environment, where emissions data can be collected, quantified, analyzed and converted into standardized reports.
AI is moving into sustainability infrastructure
The broader market is increasingly treating carbon accounting as an enterprise software category rather than an isolated sustainability function.
Gartner describes carbon accounting and management software as applications that help organizations measure, manage, reduce and report emissions, including Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions across corporate operations and value chains. Gartner also notes that the market remains fragmented, with organizations often needing to balance specialized carbon-management capabilities against broader ESG platforms.
That creates an opening for AI-assisted systems. Instead of requiring sustainability teams to manually navigate emission-factor databases, spreadsheets and reporting templates, AI can act as an interface between users and increasingly complex carbon-accounting workflows.
GreenSwift’s approach is an example of this narrower form of enterprise AI: rather than competing directly with general-purpose large language models from Microsoft, Google or Amazon, the system applies AI to a domain-specific process where context, structured data and compliance requirements are central.
The value proposition therefore depends on more than generating text. Enterprises need traceable calculations, consistent methodologies and documentation that can be reviewed by auditors or assurance providers.
Vietnam’s carbon market raises the stakes
The timing is particularly relevant in Vietnam, where the government is building a domestic carbon market and has established a phased roadmap toward nationwide operation from 2029.
Vietnam officially launched its domestic carbon trading platform in June 2026. The country’s current framework includes a pilot period through the end of 2028, followed by official nationwide operation from 2029.
For companies that may eventually participate in carbon-credit or emissions-allowance markets, reliable emissions data becomes a business capability rather than simply a sustainability-reporting requirement.
Vietnam’s ESG landscape also shows why digital infrastructure could become important. PwC Vietnam’s 2025 ESG Progress Tracker found that 89% of surveyed businesses had made or planned to make an ESG commitment within two to four years, up from 80% in its 2022 research. Yet only 44% reported having fully deployed ESG initiatives toward value creation.
The gap between commitment and execution is where software platforms can play a role. For enterprises, the immediate problem is often not a lack of sustainability targets but the infrastructure required to turn operational data into reliable measurements.
What enterprise AI teams should watch
The Ho-Team Construction deployment also illustrates an important direction for enterprise AI adoption: specialized AI systems are increasingly being embedded inside operational applications rather than deployed as standalone assistants.
For IT and sustainability leaders evaluating these platforms, the critical questions extend beyond whether a product uses AI. They include how emissions factors are maintained, how calculations can be reviewed, whether source data remains traceable, how organizational boundaries are managed, and whether reports can support independent verification.
Those requirements put carbon-management platforms closer to enterprise data infrastructure than conventional productivity software.
GreenSwift includes features for emissions-source identification, real-time data tracking, AI-generated reports and ISO 14064-1-aligned carbon inventories. TPIsoftware also positions the platform as supporting Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 data management and carbon-footprint reporting.
The competitive landscape is broader, however. Enterprises can choose from specialized carbon-accounting vendors as well as sustainability capabilities offered through larger enterprise software ecosystems. Microsoft’s sustainability products, Salesforce’s Net Zero Cloud and sustainability offerings from other major enterprise technology providers illustrate the convergence of sustainability data with existing CRM, ERP, cloud and analytics environments.
For TPIsoftware, the differentiation will therefore depend on execution at the workflow level: how effectively GreenSwift simplifies emissions data collection while retaining the controls and evidence required for assurance.
Ho-Team Construction’s verified inventory provides one early example of that model in practice. As Vietnam moves toward a more formal carbon market, the ability to produce credible emissions data could become increasingly important to construction companies and other businesses seeking to understand their exposure to climate regulation, supply-chain requirements and carbon-related financial mechanisms.
The larger trend is clear: enterprise AI is moving into specialized operational systems where accuracy and governance matter as much as automation. Carbon accounting is emerging as one of those domains.
Market Landscape
The carbon-management software market is developing alongside stricter climate disclosure requirements, carbon markets and growing pressure to quantify Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions.
Gartner’s research identifies carbon accounting as a complex software category because organizations must consolidate diverse and distributed emissions data while meeting reporting requirements. It also notes that the market remains fragmented, meaning buyers must evaluate whether specialized functionality or broader ESG-suite integration better fits their architecture.
Scope 3 is particularly challenging because emissions originate across suppliers and value chains rather than within a company’s direct operations. Gartner reported that 89% of organizations in a Scope 3 Peer Group study were already using or seeking a digital solution for Scope 3 decarbonization programs.
For enterprise technology leaders, this points toward a market increasingly shaped by three requirements: automated data collection, defensible calculations and audit-ready reporting. AI can improve usability and reduce manual work, but the underlying data architecture and governance remain critical.
Vietnam adds another layer of urgency as its carbon market progresses toward nationwide operation in 2029.
