GoComet launched GoSchedules emissions tracking component, an addition to the company’s Smart Schedules module, to support logistics planning teams with climate goals.
“GoSchedules gives businesses a search capability similar to Google Flights, where they can find the right carrier schedule for their move. Previously, logistics teams were looking only at cost and delivery transit time as key parameters, but a focus on sustainability has changed that,” says Gautam Jain, GoComet CEO.
Key takeaways:
- GoSchedules enables users to maintain their commitment to sustainability by finding ocean schedules that meet delivery timelines over their trade route; providing visibility on projected emissions for each schedule; and uncovering green carriers on their routes to best suit their logistics requirements.
- By understanding where emissions originate, and by calculating stoppages, distance and time to delivery, teams can identify appropriate reduction targets and help their businesses meet emissions reduction goals.
- GoSchedules is powered by GoComet’s emissions tracking engine, which compiles information to accurately calculate emissions, including the carrying vessel, its emission factor, age, fuel type, past and present vessel movements and more.
“Businesses that utilize GoSchedules have an advantage in identifying low-emission carriers on their trade routes and can make more sustainable choices. In fact, we have observed a delta of around 40% in terms of emissions between different carriers on the same route. Having this data can help a business cut its emissions per move by almost half,” Jain adds.
