One Innovation Insight at a Time, Featuring NXTLOG
With NXTLOG – a Schenker Ventures company – DB SCHENKER offers a fully customer-focused solution. NXTLOG addresses the challenges of decentralized data, lack of accuracy, and missing know-how by offering holistic consulting for decarbonization, precise emissions reporting, and certified annual reports for strategic decision-making.
Did you know that green logistics has developed into a market worth over 1 trillion dollars?
Supply chains account for about 80% of global carbon emissions, impacting everything from production to delivery. Green logistics aims to manage the flow of goods and services sustainably, reducing environmental impact and resource consumption. With growing pressure on lower carbon footprints, comply with regulations, and meet consumer demand for sustainable products, businesses are adopting eco-friendly packaging, optimized transport routes, and energy-efficient warehouses. Driven by environmental awareness, technological advancements, and government incentives, the market continues to expand. By adopting sustainable practices like electric vehicles, AI for supply chain optimization, or IoT-enabled smart and efficient warehouses, companies can make a significant impact on environmental protection.
A Holistic Approach to Transport Emissions
In today’s dynamic logistics landscape, managing transport emissions data can be overwhelming. With multiple data sources – from carrier reports and ERP systems to manually compiled spreadsheets – NXTLOG recognized that companies often struggle to gain a clear, actionable view of their environmental and economic impact. NXTLOG addresses this challenge with a holistic solution that standardizes and enhances transport data while empowering every stakeholder to understand decarbonization options and their impact on lead time, cost, and emissions. In short, the solution combines an economical perspective with a sustainable view.
Comprehensive market research by NXTLOG has shown that companies across industries face a common challenge: inconsistent and decentralized data. Whether dealing with standardized carrier reports, raw ERP data, or even ad hoc Excel tables, obtaining a reliable and uniform emissions report is a complex, resource-intensive process. NXTLOG’s platform automates data collection, standardizes and enhances inputs, and translates them into a consistent output format that’s ready for strategic analysis without spending countless hours for manually verifying figures or wrestling with data discrepancies.
From Data Integrity to Strategic Decarbonization
NXTLOG knows – accurate data is only half the battle. As the costs of offsetting and insetting continue to rise – driven by growing market demand and the recurring nature of these expenses - companies must seek long-term solutions that reduce the financial risk of escalating sustainability costs. With NXTLOG, customers receive precise emissions reporting but also gain the tools to explore and simulate decarbonization measures across their transport network. By validating key metrics (such as distances and freight weights) and ensuring that all inputs are logically consistent, the platform empowers you to forecast the financial and environmental returns of a redesigned logistics strategy. NXTLOG offers a complimentary simulation for a selected route to help you visualize how targeted, data-driven reduction options can be implemented without compromising operational integrity.
Tailored for Diverse Industries and Data Formats
The benefits of a holistic emissions solution apply across sectors, but the NXTLOG expertise has been especially valuable for companies in pharma, consumer electronics, and aero parts. These industries demand precision and agility when managing complex supply chains. Whether data comes from robust carrier reports, detailed ERP datasets, or even less structured formats, NXTLOG seamlessly integrates, validates, and optimizes information. The result? Reliable insights that drive both operational efficiency and meaningful sustainability impact.
Data-Driven Precision and Action
At NXTLOG, they emphasize the importance of data-driven decision-making for achieving sustainability. By standardizing and enhancing raw data, they offer a clear roadmap for reducing emissions, propose concrete reduction options, calculate their impact using real transport network data, and support the implementation of pilot projects. This approach helps businesses stay ahead of rising sustainability costs and regulatory pressures while ensuring economic and environmental responsibility.
