The German company plans to use the capital to grow its team from 55 to over 100 employees, expand into new countries, and develop additional product modules for supply chain, compliance, and risk management.
What does Tanso Technologies solve?
Manufacturing companies are facing growing pressure to manage environmental and compliance issues.
New EU rules, like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), require them to report on sustainability factors, such as environmental, social, and governance issues, as part of their financial statements.
This information will be checked by auditors and hold board members accountable.
At the same time, major customers in industries like automotive, food, and chemicals are pushing their suppliers to actively work on sustainability and report their progress, especially in reducing carbon emissions.
What was once done voluntarily is now becoming key for staying competitive.
Tanso: Environmental management and compliance automation
Founded in 2021 by Till Wiechmann, Gyri Reiersen and Lorenz Hetzel, Tanso offers a cloud-based solution for environmental management and compliance automation.
The Tanso software helps manufacturing industrial companies meet environmental requirements along their supply chain and reduce compliance costs.
The platform enables the structured collection, precise calculation, and targeted optimisation of sustainability metrics – supported by AI-powered data management and intelligent recommendations.
As a data management and analytics software, Tanso builds on existing company systems and creates a centralised control view for sustainability and compliance.
This enables companies to centrally plan transformation projects such as investments in decarbonisation measures, manage them based on data, and effectively track progress.
It helps mid-sized industrial companies comply with regulatory requirements such as CSRD, VSME, GHG, and ISO 14064, while achieving their sustainability goals.
The software is currently used by over 300 companies from various industries in more than 40 countries, including Kärcher, Duravit, the Paulaner Group, and Goldbeck.
