The challenge in logistics

Your clients are asking for emissions data. And they want it to GLEC.

More and more large shippers require their logistics providers to calculate emissions to the GLEC standard. Without the right tool, answering those requests means endless spreadsheets, unclear methodology and weeks of manual work.

Dcycle lets you answer with data that is reliable, verifiable and in the format your clients expect.

P
Pilar
Sustainability Manager · Transport company

"Amazon asked us for the emissions of every shipment, to GLEC. We had no idea where to start or what to calculate it with."

A
Antonio
Operations Director · Logistics operator

"Every client asks for emissions in a different format. We needed a platform that gave us results to the standard, without depending on consultants."

The difference

Without a tool vs. with Dcycle

What changes when you have a platform built for the logistics footprint.

Without a tool

  • Spreadsheets with home-made, unvalidated formulas
  • Weeks of work every time a client asks for data
  • No way to verify results or pass an audit
  • Intensity metrics (kg/tkm) calculated by hand
  • Every client means starting from scratch

With Dcycle

  • Automatic calculation compliant with GLEC v3
  • Results in minutes: upload data, get emissions
  • Verifiable by Smart Freight Centre, audit-ready
  • Intensity per tkm calculated automatically
  • One workspace for every client and every report
