When logging in, you'll typically land on the Impact Reports page. This is your central hub for managing your product data and viewing initial impact summaries.
On your left-hand side, you'll see an overview of what your Pickler platform consists of:
Impact Reports: This page lists all the products you've added to Pickler. At a glance, you can see key metrics like the Eco-Score, Eco-Costs, and Carbon Footprint for each product. From here, you can:
Edit, Duplicate, and Delete Products: Manage your product database.

Group and Compare: Select multiple products to create comparisons.
Access Product Form: Click on a product name to view and edit its detailed lifecycle data.
Export: Export your product data.
Comparisons: This section allows you to create side-by-side comparisons of the environmental impact of different products (both inventory and scenario). You can analyze various metrics across the lifecycle stages to make informed decisions.
Reporting: This feature enables you to create detailed reports on your customers' sales and the associated environmental impact, based on uploaded sales data. You can visualize key metrics and share these reports.
Data Mapping: Here, you link the internal names you use for materials, production processes, and locations to Pickler's standardized data (IDEMAT database and Google Maps). This is crucial for accurate impact calculations.
