Frequently asked questions

What is the main difference between Dcycle and Sphera?
Sphera is a comprehensive EHS and sustainability enterprise suite with LCA capabilities (GaBi). Dcycle is a modern, focused ESG platform designed specifically for regulatory compliance and carbon management with faster time to value.
Is Sphera better for large enterprises?
Sphera offers deep EHS and product sustainability capabilities suited for complex industrial operations. However, for companies primarily focused on ESG reporting and CSRD compliance, Dcycle delivers faster results at lower cost.
Does Dcycle offer LCA capabilities like Sphera?
Dcycle integrates with LCA databases for product carbon footprints but doesn't offer the full LCA modelling suite that Sphera's GaBi provides. For most compliance and corporate footprint needs, Dcycle's capabilities are sufficient.
How long does implementation take compared to Sphera?
Dcycle typically deploys in 2-4 weeks, while Sphera enterprise implementations can take 3-6 months or more depending on scope and customisation requirements.
Can Dcycle handle the same data volumes as Sphera?
Yes. Dcycle's cloud architecture handles multi-entity, multi-country operations with thousands of data sources. Many customers manage 50+ facilities across multiple countries.
Which platform is better for CSRD reporting?
Both platforms support CSRD, but Dcycle was built specifically for European regulatory compliance and includes expert advisory to guide you through the reporting process.
