Precise CO₂e emissions reporting for multimodal transport at scale

Challenge: Increasing requests for professional emissions reporting

Logistics customers are increasingly requesting detailed reports on transport emissions. These verifications are time-consuming and costly. Jerich International's customers were being asked about their Scope 3 emissions by their own customers, wanting to know precisely how large their carbon footprint is from transport, storage, and handling activities. For individual transport route tenders, CO₂e emissions were increasingly becoming a decisive criterion.

These rising customer requirements for precise emissions data were difficult to meet with the company's limited resources. Initial attempts to create emissions reports themselves using online tools proved time-consuming and unsatisfactory. Jerich International wanted to implement a verified, unified, and scalable system that could process large shipment and data volumes and map multimodal transports.

Solution: Detailed emissions calculations for multimodal transports at the shipment level

After thorough examination of the available data, automatic data transfer was first implemented through existing interfaces. Missing exact address information initially made it difficult to distinguish between tours and shipments or orders. However, by linking transport and master data, exact customer warehouse locations could be identified.

In a structured process, shipzero enriched the datasets accordingly. The system now correctly calculates emissions per transport segment from the starting to the receiving freight forwarder. Jerich International can now reliably, regularly, and at the push of a button send CO₂e reports to their customers with detailed emissions data at the shipment level for multimodal transports.

Results: Streamlined reporting with exceptional customer feedback

Jerich International can now correctly calculate emissions per transport segment from the starting to the receiving freight forwarder and reliably, regularly, and at the push of a button send CO₂e reports. Customers appreciate the automatically and frequently created reports with extremely positive feedback.

"The number of cases requiring clarification has dropped from double digits to a low single-digit percentage. This is enormous progress that significantly relieves our internal processes."

Outlook: Staying committed despite relaxing regulations

Despite possible relaxation of legal requirements, Jerich International remains true to its sustainability efforts: “We are continuing on this path – postponed does not mean canceled,” Zach affirms the long-term strategy.

Jerich International wants to increasingly offer its customers alternative, more environmentally friendly transport solutions. The partnership with shipzero can play a key role in achieving these ambitious sustainability goals and further strengthening the company’s position as a responsible logistics service provider by helping Jerich International understand and manage sustainability risk along complex, multimodal transport chains..
