The Problem

Key pain points of the FMCG industry

FMCG companies face intense ESG pressure due to brand reputation and consumer expectations. They need full supply chain transparency and decarbonization, while logistics providers manage fragmented global networks and cargo owners require reliable, comparable emissions data for strategic decisions.

Complex transport networks with high fragmentation

FMCG logistics involves numerous small shipments, parcel flows, and consolidation across hubs. Large networks make it difficult for logistics providers to model actual transports accurately, while cargo owners struggle to verify emissions across fragmented shipments and multi-stop tours.

Intense pressure from multinational enterprises

Leading FMCG companies actively drive CO₂ tracking and decarbonization, setting high expectations for logistics providers. Close consumer visibility increases ESG scrutiny and brand risk, leading to demanding, often global, requirements for transparency and decarbonization.

Complexity in procurement, tendering, and global strategies

FMCG supply chains span multiple countries with varying markets, energy intensities, and modal mixes. This makes it hard to assess CO₂ costs, market trends, alternative fuel pricing, and regulatory impacts. Companies face challenges to forecast emissions, calculate scenarios, and manage carriers globally.

FAQs

Common questions about emissions intelligence for FMCG logistics

How does shipzero track emissions across countries and geographies?

shipzero captures country-specific emission factors, energy intensities, and modal characteristics to provide accurate emissions data across international supply chains. Our platform enables both logistics providers and enterprises to compare regions, analyse trends by market, and understand how different geographies contribute to the overall emissions footprint.

How do you handle primary data for air and sea freight?

shipzero integrates primary data not only for road transport but also for air and sea freight. This multimodal capability is essential for FMCG supply chains that rely on diverse transport modes. We analyze where modal switches can reduce emissions and help both logistics providers and enterprises make informed decisions about transport mode selection.

How can shipzero support our procurement and tendering processes?

shipzero simulates CO₂ costs and future market developments across trade lanes and carriers. Both logistics providers and enterprises can model alternative fuel scenarios, compare reduction potentials, and forecast regulatory impacts. This enables strategic tender management, informed carrier selection, and competitive positioning based on verified emissions data.

How does shipzero handle shipment splitting, consolidation, trade lanes?

Our platform accurately models the complex reality of FMCG logistics: shipment splitting across multiple routes, consolidation through hub networks, and international trade lane structures. Emissions are allocated fairly across numerous small shipments using sophisticated allocation methodologies that reflect actual transport operations, benefiting both logistics providers and enterprises.

Can shipzero integrate with global platforms and TMS?

Yes. shipzero connects with global logistics platforms and diverse Transport Management Systems used across different regions. We handle heterogeneous and globally distributed data sources, harmonizing them into a consistent emissions dataset that supports international reporting and strategic decision-making.
