Why we're building TerraTwin

Every freight emissions tool we tried made you work for it. So we built the one we actually wanted to use.

Every logistics emissions tool we tried before building TerraTwin asked us to do the hard part ourselves: clean the data, fill in the gaps, pick the right emission factors, and hope the result would survive an audit.

That's backwards. The whole point of a calculation tool is to absorb that complexity, not pass it on to whoever's stuck reporting Scope 3 logistics emissions at the end of the quarter.

So we built TerraTwin around the idea that messy, incomplete, real-world shipment data should be the default input — not the exception. It accepts spreadsheets in whatever shape they arrive, fills in missing route detail with a Digital Twin of the transport network, and applies emission factors in a way that's transparent enough to hold up under review.

What we're optimising for

  • Accuracy that holds up under audit, not just a plausible-looking number
  • No rigid templates or specialist expertise required to get started
  • Standards alignment (ISO 14083, GLEC, CountEmissionsEU) built in, not bolted on
  • Fast enough to run at real shipment volumes, not just for a one-off report

We're still early, but every feature we ship — from the calculation engine to digital certificates — comes back to that same goal: make it easy to get a freight emissions number you can actually trust.
