Transport as an industry contributes massively to greenhouse gas emissions, but it can be difficult to address reducing these emissions as calculations of existing carbon footprints are tedious and inaccurate. Searoutes provides a platform for shippers to calculate and analyse their carbon footprints, enabling them to take intelligent action towards reducing their emissions.
Searoutes’ cloud-based and API-first platform, named Shift, was developed using modern algorithms in a bid to offer an alternative to tracking via spreadsheets. Its technology can process the large databases associated with freight – on the positions of ships, weather, and more – and produce usable information for clients. In addition, the company supplies its own purpose-designed eco-calculator that is able to quantify the carbon footprint of a transport container from its journey.
Searoutes has secured a number of customers, including the global logistics and supply chain company Ceva Logistics. Investment in the company will be used to fund research and development, develop services surrounding its eco-calculator, and grow its customer base.
