Our verdict on Dakota Software
Dakota Software’s ProActivity Suite is a cloud EHS platform for organizations managing regulatory obligations across facilities. It suits mid-market and enterprise teams that need site-specific compliance workflows alongside ESG tracking. The suite covers regulatory applicability, compliance calendars, audits, inspections, incidents, corrective actions, training, and analytics. ESG trackers can cover emissions, energy, waste, water, and other metrics, including Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions using emissions factors. Access is through modern web browsers, with iOS and Android apps also available.
Its breadth is the main reason to consider it: regulatory requirements can be mapped to site applicability, and audits and inspections use site-specific or regulatory-aligned checklists. Incident capture connects to corrective-action tracking, while dashboards, trend analysis, and exportable reports support review of compliance and ESG activity. Multiple sustainability reporting frameworks are supported, though they are not named here. Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace are listed integrations. This makes ProActivity relevant when one program must bring operational EHS controls and environmental metrics together; teams focused only on carbon accounting may prefer a narrower tool.
According to the vendor’s pricing page, pricing is provided by quote and tailored to organizational size, selected modules, user scope, and support needs, rather than presented as fixed plan amounts. A free trial is mentioned on the EHS Essentials page, but the published information gives no duration or card requirement. The product lists SSO via SAML and support through email, chat, phone, and documentation. Buyers should weigh the tailored scope and support options against the effort of evaluating a configurable suite. It is a fit for organizations coordinating compliance and ESG across facilities, but may be more than a team needs when its priority is a single environmental workflow.
