Sustainability report straight from Fortnox
Washproof connects to Fortnox, finds the invoices for electricity, heating and fuel, and produces a sustainability report under VS (formerly VSME). Every figure in the report traces back to its voucher and invoice in Fortnox.

Read calls only in your Fortnox

The access token is stored encrypted. When you remove the connection in Fortnox or in Washproof, Washproof stops reading.
FAQ
What does it cost?
The price depends on company size and is shown on the start page. You build the report in the tool, and the Fortnox connection is included.
What about invoices without a quantity?
Washproof then converts the amount with an average price from a published source. The row is marked as estimated in the report and in the traceability file.
Can my accounting firm set up the connection?
Yes. Anyone with access to the company in Fortnox can approve the connection, and the firm can be invited to the company in Washproof.
Does it work with a Fortnox practice company?
Yes. You can connect a practice company to try the flow before connecting the real company.
Which parts of VS are covered by the books?
The climate section (B3), Scope 3 purchases and company information (B1) for the most part. Employees, accidents, training hours, waste and policies (B2, B7–B10) you enter yourself with the guide.
