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.
