THE CHALLENGE
Environmental consultancies handling UK Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) submissions were relying on manual spreadsheets, disconnected mapping tools, and repetitive reporting processes. Teams struggled to scale, and small errors in calculations could delay submissions and increase compliance risk.
OUR APPROACH
We developed BNG Auto as a full workflow platform with:
- Interactive map and boundary drawing
- GeoJSON/PostGIS-backed spatial storage
- Defra Metric 4.0 style assessment logic
- Side-by-side scenario comparison
- PDF report export for stakeholder-ready outputs
- Optional marketplace workflow for biodiversity credits
THE RESULTS
- Assessment operations became standardised and repeatable
- Teams compared multiple options in minutes instead of days
- Reporting became faster and more consistent
- Platform architecture supported future commercialisation paths
