shipzero calculates transport emissions using the best available method. By integrating real transport and fuel data wherever possible, shipzero achieves the highest precision and reliability in CO₂e calculations. Our detailed methodology, including all references and sources, can be downloaded here.

Clients provide transport details like origin, destination, cargo weight, mode, and dates. The calculation and analysis become significantly more accurate when adding data such as load type, waypoints, or carrier information. Logistics companies can add fleet, vehicle, and fuel consumption data to achieve even higher accuracy and optimization potential. shipzero continuously supports clients in improving their data quality and calculation precision, for example by identifying additional data sources or integrating information from partners.

shipzero connects directly to your existing systems via APIs, EDI, flat files, or secure database access, ensuring automatic and regular data exchange. In addition, data can be quickly uploaded in CSV format for a fast, seamless setup.

Managing transport emissions internally often bears significant hidden costs and complexity, especially when relying on manual processes, Excel, or fragmented data sources. shipzero streamlines this process through deep logistics and data expertise, automating every step from data collection to CO₂ calculation, building lasting improvements in data quality and calculation precision.

Beyond reporting, shipzero enables true decarbonization: With advanced analytics, scenario modeling, and tools like Book & Claim that turn data into measurable action. We believe in collaboration and foster trusted data sharing among organizations to collectively accelerate the transition toward zero emissions in logistics.

shipzero empowers Sustainability, Supply Chain, Procurement, and Sales teams to save time, maximize the impact of their decisions, and strengthen external trust through compliance, data precision, and transparent communication:

✅ Data Management & Integration: Connect all relevant source systems via APIs to automatically collect, validate, and harmonize shipment and fuel data.
✅ High-Precision Emission Calculation: Calculate CO₂ emissions using the best available method for accurate, audit-ready results.
