Structuring Your CBAM Workflow

CBAM isn't a single task — it's a cycle: capture shipment data for every relevant order as it happens, request and chase supplier emissions data for the goods involved, decide per shipment whether you have usable actual data or need the default, roll all of it up into the annual CBAM declaration, and — once certificates are required — buy and surrender enough of them to cover what you've declared, checking every quarter that you're holding enough.

Most of the friction comes from doing each of those steps in a different spreadsheet with no link between them. Cora's order tools capture shipment data via bulk Excel upload or a direct connection to your ERP or Celonis instance — including duplicate and CBAM-irrelevant-item detection before they cause problems — turn those orders directly into supplier survey requests, and its report generator produces the CBAM declaration as an XML file and PDF summary, with a status tracker so you always know what's been generated, uploaded, or still outstanding.
