osapiens has launched EASY START, a new suite aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises that are being pulled deeper into Europe’s sustainability and supply-chain rules without having the compliance teams to match. The company says the product line is designed to make enterprise-style ESG and regulatory tools easier to adopt for firms facing pressure from customers, lenders and regulators alike.
The move comes as EU requirements around sustainability reporting, deforestatio...

n risk, packaging and operational oversight continue to spread beyond large listed groups and into supplier networks. For many SMEs, the problem is less about the principle of compliance than the practical burden of collecting data, standardising records and producing evidence that can stand up to scrutiny.
osapiens says EASY START is intended to address that gap with preconfigured workflows, guided processes and automated data collection. Rather than asking smaller firms to build complex internal systems, the package is built to centralise supplier information, reduce manual admin and improve audit readiness.
The launch package includes Reporting Essentials, which is positioned as a hub for sustainability data and reporting. According to osapiens, it includes templates aligned with VSME, GRI and CSRD frameworks, as well as carbon-footprint calculation tools covering Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. The company also says the module supports automated report generation and XBRL tagging.
Other modules target specific EU rules. The EUDR component is designed to help companies prove that products are deforestation-free, using traceability tools, supplier integration and risk analysis. The package also links into the EU TRACES system. A separate module addresses packaging compliance under the PPWR, while another supports maintenance workflows through digital asset and task management. osapiens has also included a fisheries compliance tool for traceability under the EU Fisheries Control Regulation.
The company is pitching the suite not just as a compliance aid but as a commercial one. It argues that reliable sustainability data can affect access to finance, procurement opportunities and supply-chain relationships, while firms unable to produce structured information risk being left out of regulated markets.
Julian Mayer, head of SME business global at osapiens, said the aim was to bridge the divide between demanding regulation and the day-to-day realities of smaller businesses. “Our goal is to package our powerful technology in a way that allows SMEs to get started right away without lengthy implementation phases or significant internal effort,” he said.
The launch also reflects a broader shift in ESG software, as vendors move further down the market to serve companies that need simpler, faster tools rather than heavy enterprise deployments. For larger corporates, the pressure is increasingly to bring suppliers into the same reporting and traceability systems. For SMEs, that could make ESG compliance less of a back-office burden and more of a condition for staying in the game.
