Procurement Summit Live Sessions: Part 1 – ESG and Risk Management Startups The Procurement Software Podcast
-
- Management
This week, we bring you the first in a 3 part series of live episodes recorded at Procurement Summit in Berlin on 29 and 30 September 2021.
We’ll be covering a different theme on each episode, and featuring 3 procuretech startups each week. Our focus is on some of the newer, less well-known startups who pitched and exhibited during the summit to bring awareness to some of the exciting new players out there who are destined to grow quickly.
Hot Digital Procurement and Supply Chain Startups in the ESG and Risk Management Space
On this episode, we’re looking at startups whose mission is solving problems in the rapidly growing and increasingly important ESG and Risk Management area.
Shipzero
Tobias Bohnhoff, Founder of Shipzero is my first guest.
Shipzero tracks and manages transport emissions, helping freight buyers and logistics managers to have more transparency around their shipping data.
The tool essentially enables companies to make strategic decisions around two key areas of transportation procurement and logistics management:
Helping companies to reduce their overall transport footprint through optimisation of their freight operations.
Evaluating different case scenarios when it comes to deciding which mode of transport to use.
One part of this conundrum is actually looking at where to source goods from. The increasing cost, especially of ocean freight, is making companies reconsider lengthy supply chains where historically the logistics cost was not a major factor.
Technology is now in place to enable data sharing between companies. The transportation market is very fragmented and contains a lot of smaller businesses who are not as technologically advanced as global logistics firms. Shipzero enables this data to be aggregated for the end customer.
When it comes to decarbonisation, there are also the factors of considering transportation methods powered partly or wholly by renewable energy.
Shipzero enables companies to simulate the CO2 emissions based on different transportation scenarios.
The range and payload for electric trucks is different to diesel trucks. Using a granular data stream from the telematics of the truck allows you to make the decision of which methods or lanes for transport can be switched to transportation from renewable energy sources.
Tobias mentions that any company with over €/$100 million annual turnover with significant transportation spend can benefit and see a positive payback of using the tool to optimise their transportation.
I ask Tobias how he would convince a company who doesn’t see this as a priority, to take action now rather than in a few years time. Then we round off the interview by looking at Shipzero’s plans for future growth.
