Logistics Performance Analytics: Controlling Budgets and CO2 Emissions

Tempo di lettura: 3 min

Every month, your logistics department handles dozens of shipments, but how much do you really know about your transport management performance? Are you staying within your budgets? What is your actual spend per transport order? And what about the CO2 emissions for your sustainability reporting?

With Truckscanner Premium Statistics, you finally gain a comprehensive, organized, and filterable overview of all transport orders finalized on the platform. No more data scattered across countless spreadsheets: everything is unified in a single, professional dashboard.


The Statistics Dashboard That Turns Data into Decisions

Premium Statistics provides an organized and fully filterable list of all transport orders (loading orders) you have completed on Truckscanner. More than just a list, it is a strategic analysis tool for your department.

What You See in Your Statistics Dashboard

Budget vs. Actual: The Comparison That Matters

For every transport order, you can view:

  • Initial budget per order: What you planned to spend
  • Accepted actual cost: What you actually paid the carrier
  • Budget-to-Actual Variance: Instantly see if you are under or over budget
  • Variance percentage: To quickly understand spending trends

This feature is essential for logistics departments that need to demonstrate their cost management and optimization capabilities to management. No more verbal explanations or manual reports: the numbers speak for themselves.

CO2e Emissions: Your Sustainability Report is Ready

Every transport order includes an automatic calculation of Well-to-Wheel (WTW) CO2 equivalent (CO2e) emissions, calculated according to the strictest standards:

  • HBEFA 4.2 Protocol (Handbook of Emission Factors for Road Transport)
  • Certified European standard
  • ISO 14083:2023 Compliance
  • Full WTW calculation (from fuel extraction to final use)
  • EURO 6 diesel engines as the standard reference

While these values are indicative and may vary based on real transport conditions, vehicle types, and traffic, they provide a solid and scientifically valid foundation for your ESG reports.

Why CO2e Emissions Are Critical

Sustainability Is No Longer Optional

An increasing number of companies, including SMEs, must report their Scope 3 emissions (indirect emissions from the supply chain). Freight transport is a major contributor to Scope 3, and until now, calculating these emissions was time-consuming, unreliable, and expensive.

With Truckscanner Premium, every transport order automatically includes certified CO2e calculations. The data is ready to be plugged directly into your corporate sustainability report.

Tangible Benefits of CO2e Tracking:

  • Regulatory compliance: Be ready for increasingly strict ESG requirements.
  • Stakeholder credibility: Certified and traceable data.
  • Informed decisions: Choose more sustainable suppliers and transport modes.
  • Competitive edge: Green companies win more tenders.
  • Cost reduction: Optimized transport = lower emissions = lower costs.

Average Cost per Lane: Benchmarking and Planning

Beyond individual orders, Premium Statistics automatically calculate the average cost per lane, allowing you to:

  • Create accurate rate cards for your customers.
  • Evaluate the competitiveness of received quotes.
  • Plan future budgets based on real-world data.
  • Identify anomalies or saving opportunities.

Powerful Filters for In-depth Analysis

The dashboard transforms raw data into actionable insights through advanced filters:

  • Time period: Month, quarter, year, or custom range.
  • Origin and Destination: Analyze specific lanes.
  • Cargo Type: Compare costs across different categories.
  • Carrier Performance: Evaluate your suppliers.
  • Assigned User: Track the performance of your team members.

Real-World Scenarios for Your Office

Scenario 1: Monthly Management Reporting

Instead of spending 6 hours consolidating spreadsheets, you can now export budget-vs-actual data and certified CO2e charts in 10 minutes. The result: Management sees the strategic value of the logistics department backed by hard numbers.

Scenario 2: Preparing the Sustainability Report

When your ESG consultant asks for transport emissions data, you don't need to pay for external audits. Simply filter by year and export ISO 14083:2023 certified data. The result: Accurate, professional reporting with zero extra consulting fees.

Scenario 3: Negotiating with New Clients

Respond to client inquiries about lane costs and environmental impact in 30 seconds. The result: You demonstrate digital efficiency and land more contracts.

Sustainability: More Than an Obligation, an Opportunity

Traceable CO2e emissions are a competitive tool for tenders and marketing. Whether you are aiming for ISO 14001 or B Corp certification, having traceable data is a fundamental requirement.
