What Inoqo does

Inoqo GmbH is a Vienna-based B2B SaaS company founded in 2020 that provides a Product Impact Assessment (PIA) platform for grocery retailers and food and beverage brands. The platform performs AI-driven multi-dimensional Life Cycle Assessments (cradle-to-shelf plus end-of-life) aligned with ISO 14040/14044, EU Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) guidelines, and IPCC climate science, using a proprietary Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) database covering 160+ crops, 200+ processing processes, livestock from all producing countries, fish and seafood, and over 193,000 country-ingredient specific emission factors from approximately 200 territories. Core products are organized into four modules — Assess (baseline measurement), Optimize (AI-powered hotspot identification and reduction recommendations), Communicate (multidimensional consumer-facing product labels), and Engage (personalized impact scores and behavioral campaigns) — supplemented by Category Assessment and a Planetary Health Diet Solution for protein transition analytics, plus a consumer-facing mobile app available in Austria and a "Green Frame" television feature on RTL Deutschland.

The business model is enterprise SaaS subscription with quote-based, customized pricing tied to product assortment size and modules selected, complemented by professional services delivered through Service Partners (including Capgemini, Publicis Sapient, Positive Scenarios) and Technology Partners (SAP, Plan-A, AWS). Primary customers are large grocery retailers (Tesco, M&S, Sainsbury's, Co-op, ASDA, Lidl, Aldi, Albert Heijn, Migros, Oda, e-Fresh, dm drogerie markt) and F&B brands and manufacturers (The Makers, Revo Foods, Nomoo, Avara, Samworth Brothers, Greencore, Pilgrim's, Dunbia, Cranswick, Bakkavor, Starbucks, Nando's). Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales augmented by a partner network and distribution partnerships in Austria.

On February 18, 2026, Inoqo announced a strategic merger with Mondra, a UK-based Scope 3 SaaS solution, to create a unified global entity operating under the Mondra brand with core hubs in London, Vienna, and India; the transaction is expected to close in Q2 2026 subject to regulatory approval. The combined entity will merge Inoqo's proprietary LCI database and European market expertise with Mondra's Digital Twin technology and Sherpa AI platform, serving global grocery retailers, manufacturers, and CPG brands with an expanded methodology aligned to incoming EU regulations including CSRD, the Empowering Consumers Directive (EmpCo), and the Green Claims Directive.

Direct peers

• Mondra: Merging partner and closest functional peer — UK-based Scope 3 SaaS for grocery retailers with Digital Twin and Sherpa AI platform. Customers include Tesco, M&S, Co-op, ASDA, Lidl, Aldi, Starbucks, and Nando's. Direct overlap in product climate footprint, supplier engagement, and EU retailer customer base.
• CarbonCloud: Swedish SaaS providing climate footprint calculations for food products using a proprietary emissions database. Targets food brands and retailers across Europe with API-delivered carbon labels — directly comparable to Inoqo's PIA platform and product climate footprint module.
• Eaternity: Zurich-based food climate score platform offering meal and product carbon footprints for restaurants, caterers, and retailers. Direct overlap in F&B carbon labeling, lifecycle assessment methodology, and European enterprise customer base.
• HowGood: US-based sustainability intelligence platform with a large proprietary food and CPG product database providing carbon, water, and ethical ratings. Comparable product intelligence offering for CPG brands and retailers, with global brand customer base.

Emerging players

• Sustained Labs: Early-stage SaaS providing product-level environmental and packaging footprint assessments for CPG brands and retailers. Comparable LCA-as-a-service positioning but narrower product breadth and customer scale than Inoqo.
• Plan A: Berlin-based SaaS for corporate carbon accounting and decarbonization planning, partnered with Inoqo on joint webinars. Comparable European enterprise buyer focus and Scope 3 ambition, with overlapping retail and F&B customers but no product-level LCA specialization.
• Emitwise: Carbon accounting platform specializing in Scope 3 measurement for CPG, retail, and manufacturing companies. Comparable enterprise climate SaaS positioning with overlapping buyer personas but lacks Inoqo's product-level F&B database depth.

Broad incumbents

• Watershed: Enterprise carbon accounting platform serving large corporates including retailers and CPG brands with Scope 1-3 measurement and disclosure. Broader climate platform than Inoqo but with overlapping enterprise buyer personas for Scope 3 reporting.
• Persefoni: Cloud-based carbon accounting and climate management platform for enterprises, used by CPG and retail companies for Scope 3 disclosure. Overlaps with Inoqo at the corporate climate accounting layer but does not focus on product-level F&B granularity.
• Salesforce Net Zero Cloud: Enterprise sustainability platform from Salesforce providing carbon accounting and ESG reporting for large companies. Broad incumbent with overlapping Scope 3 ambitions but no F&B-specific product-level granularity; competitive threat as a bundled enterprise solution.
