BigMile vs Carbonfact

BigMile is a web and API platform for calculating, analyzing, and reporting carbon emissions from multimodal transport. It supports air, sea, road, rail, and inland-waterway routing. Logistics data can be imported through Excel, CSV, or API uploads, with validation and mapping tools to prepare it. Users can review shipment-level cost and efficiency insights, model energy-shift scenarios, and share real-time dashboards. BigMile generates audit-ready reports compliant with ISO 14083 and uses the GLEC Framework as its primary emissions-factor source. Its Emissions API connects transport-management systems, ERP platforms, and other systems, allowing data to flow without manual uploads; the API is available in more than 30 software products. BigMile states that its platform is GDPR compliant and holds ISAE 3000 Type II and SOC 2 certifications. Support is offered by email, online calls, or chat in English, Dutch, and Spanish. The company says guided onboarding can get new clients running within a few days. A free trial is available, but there is no free plan; pricing is on request, and Carbon Analytics has a 12-month minimum subscription.

Carbonfact is an environmental data platform for apparel and footwear companies, covering carbon accounting, product life-cycle assessments, regulatory reporting, and decarbonization. Its Product LCA offering runs cradle-to-grave assessments across a full catalogue and 16 PEFCR impact indicators. Carbon Accounting provides a GHG Protocol Scope 1, 2, and 3 inventory, including activity-based Scope 3.1. The platform uses more than 150,000 fashion-specific emission factors and fills data gaps with automated heuristics and verified supplier data. Its integrations directory lists more than 58 connections, including Centric, Microsoft Dynamics, SAP, Snowflake, Tableau, and Power BI. Reporting options include Digital Product Passports, CSRD ESRS E1, CDP, Textile Exchange Materials Benchmark, and Better Cotton Initiative reports. A separate decarbonization add-on models product and company-wide reduction scenarios. Carbonfact says its methodology aligns with the GHG Protocol, ISO 14040/14044, and EU PEFCR, with annual peer review by PwC. It lists web and API access. Pricing is on request, while a free supplier plan covers environmental-data exchange and LCA verification. The company says a first audit-ready GHG Protocol report takes six weeks, and a full Product LCA data-granularity implementation takes about four months.
