Yellowstar is integrating BigMile to calculate transport-related CO2 emissions
Yellowstar, a provider of logistics and supply chain software for real-time insights and control, has integrated BigMile to calculate transport-related CO2 emissions. “BigMile will make automated CO2 calculations readily available for companies in our applications,” says John Kaijen, Chief Product Officer at Yellowstar

Supply chain collaboration is central to all of Yellowstar’s software solutions, and the company now offers BigMile as an add-on to two of them. This gives customers insight into their transport emissions and enables them to provide this information to their own customers. “This is an important step in helping companies to achieve their goals for sustainable operations,” says John Kaijen, who has been working on the topic of sustainability at Yellowstar since 2013.
Firstly, BigMile Emission API is integrated with Yellowstar’s Star Flow Intermodal transport management system, which is aimed at road, water and rail transport. Kaijen: “Thanks to the integration with BigMile, we can calculate the CO2 emissions for all routes taken by a container and trace them back to a customer order for the logistics service providers. Providing insights into carbon emissions is increasingly becoming a condition for doing business together.”

Item-level emissions tracing
In addition, BigMile Emission API is integrated with Star Flow Supply Chain, Yellowstar’s control tower solution for real-time control of supply chains from supplier to buyer. “The integration with BigMile enables us to calculate the CO2 emissions for each purchase order at item level and visualize them in our application. It is then possible to trace the emissions back to the item level,” explains Kaijen. “This means that the carbon footprint is also directly available for printing on a quotation or an invoice, or even on in-store shelf labels.”
Jan Pronk, Managing Director Benelux at BigMile, is pleased with the partnership. “Given the approaching reporting obligation for CO2 and the upcoming taxes on CO2, it is rapidly becoming increasingly important that all stakeholders in the supply chain are connected to a standard CO2 calculation platform. Our partnership with Yellowstar contributes greatly to this. Thanks to Yellowstar, a lot of companies will now have fast and low-threshold access to CO2 calculations.”
