Why carriers love working with us

Don’t just take our word for it. Here is what carriers are saying about BigMile.

“We wanted to reduce our CO2 emissions and aim for a Lean & Green Star, but we weren’t tracking these emissions at all. BigMile gave us the calculations and reports we needed. Thanks to this, we’re now on our way to our third star.”
Henk Jan Ouwerkerk, STEF

“I think it’s still fairly unique that we have such openness with our logistics service provider. After all, sustainable transport only makes sense if they also participate. It’s a social problem and the responsibility of the whole chain.”

Kasper Westerveld

Supply Chain Analyst, BSH Netherlands

“At Vonk & Co, we need a total overview, whereas BSH wants visibility into its own brands and specific customers. We send all the order data to BigMile, including from other clients. BigMile can then share the relevant data with BSH”.

What types of emissions does BigMile support calculation for?

BigMile supports calculation of transport and supply chain-related CO₂e emissions, which can be scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions depending on whether you own or outsource your transport activities. These emissions typically fall under the subcategories of Scope 3.4 (Upstream Transportation and Distribution) and Scope 3.9 (Downstream Transportation and Distribution) under the GHG Protocol.

How does BigMile compare to online emissions calculators?

Online emissions calculators are sufficient for one-off emissions calculations but lack the granularity and insights needed when calculating emissions for multiple journeys or across your operations. 

BigMile provides shipment-level CO₂e emissions data using a calculation methodology aligned with ISO 14083:2023 and the GLEC Framework. This means you can provide accurate emissions data to customers and gain insights into emissions hotspots and opportunities to reduce your carbon footprint.

Is BigMile suitable for users with no experience in carbon accounting?

Yes. BigMile is designed to be accessible to users with no prior experience in emissions calculation, while also meeting the needs of more experienced sustainability and operations teams.

How does BigMile's pricing work?

BigMile provides three core plans for its carbon accounting software: Basic, Premium, and Custom plans for enterprises. Pricing is available on request and special rates are available for members of TLN, ACN, and Evofenedex, and for certain Amazon suppliers. More information is available on our Plans and Partners pages.

How long does the onboarding take?

BigMile can be up and running within just a few days. New clients are guided through the onboarding process by a dedicated Business Consultant to ensure the platform is configured to their specific needs and preferences.

How can users export customer reports from BigMile?

BigMile supports the easy export of customer-specific, audit-ready reports directly from the platform. Report templates can be customized with your own branding and generated for individual customers at the click of a button. Reports can be exported as PDFs or spreadsheets, or shared directly with customers through the platform.
