While several TMS platforms include an in-built emissions calculator or simple add-on, these typically don't provide the shipment-level accuracy or insights on emissions reduction needed for compliance and customer reporting. BigMile's Emissions API is already integrated into 30+ TMS and supply chain platforms, so if you're using one of these, accurate emissions calculations are available directly within your existing workflow.
BigMile's Emissions API is available in 30+ software, ranging from transport management systems (TMS) to digital freight platforms. This includes DeliveryMatch, e2open, paazl, MendriX, ICT Logistics, and Ofload. Contact us for a full list of our software partners.
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.
BigMile uses the GLEC Framework as its primary source of emission factors—for all transport modes—for CO₂e emission calculations. This is aligned with the global standard ISO 14083. Where customers can supply primary data such as actual fuel consumption, BigMile uses that for greater accuracy, falling back on GLEC default factors where primary data isn't available.
BigMile's Emissions API is priced based on usage, and BigMile works with each software vendor to properly integrate the API. There is a 15-day free trial period available for all new clients.
BigMile's Emissions API connects directly to existing systems such as transport management systems (TMS), ERP platforms, and other systems, enabling transport and logistics data to flow into BigMile without manual uploads. Data is automatically standardized and validated in line with ISO 14083:2023, ensuring that emissions calculations are always based on clean, reliable datasets.
BigMile prioritizes the use of primary data for the most accurate emissions calculations. Where primary data is unavailable, BigMile applies default emission factors from the GLEC Framework and calculates emissions based on the journey and shipment details.
Users can also request emissions data directly from subcontractors through the platform to improve data completeness over time. For more detail on how missing data is handled in specific scenarios, please contact our team.
