iPoint Product Sustainability is a web-based LCA and product carbon footprint platform that brings impact data into day-to-day product decisions. Built around the Umberto engine and delivered via the iPoint Suite/SustainHub, it automates PCF/LCA creation from bills of materials and supply-chain data, then feeds results to design, sourcing, and strategy. Target users include manufacturers—especially automotive, electronics, and industrials—whose teams span sustainability, engineering, and procurement. The system’s strength is scaling trustworthy PCFs across product families, not one-off studies, while remaining interoperable with IMDS and emerging Catena-X/Cofinity-X data-exchange networks. Outputs support hotspot analysis and continuous improvement efforts.
Umberto, from iPoint, is expert-level life cycle assessment (LCA) software used by product sustainability teams, consultants, and researchers to quantify environmental impacts and support product decisions. It emphasizes transparent, standards-aligned modeling (ISO 14040/44 for LCA, ISO 14067/14064 for PCF/CCF, and ISO 14025 for EPDs) and combines primary data with recognized LCI datasets such as ecoinvent, Carbon Minds, and USLCI to make complex systems decision-ready. Teams working across product families value its graphical flow models and scalability, which help surface hotspots and trade-offs early in development and supplier engagement across manufacturing, electronics, chemicals, and consumer goods.
