    Auto-assist combines our New Auto-Routing capabilities with Auto-Transshipment to add synthetic shipment activity and address gaps in transport data.

    What's new

    • Route completion – Automatically adds missing road transport legs for air and sea shipments.
    • Auto-routing complements auto-transshipment for a more comprehensive view.
    • Better control – Users can opt in to prevent unexpected changes to emissions estimates.

    Why it matters

    Shippers can now calculate emissions without being hindered by incomplete datasets. Auto-routing identifies missing transport legs for air and sea shipments based on the provided origin, destination, and transport mode.

  3. Enhanced rail routing for more accurate emissions tracking

    Measurement
    Enhanced global rail routing - changelog

     

    More accurate rail routing is here!

    We've improved our rail routing to deliver more precise, reliable, and realistic rail transport calculations globally.

    What’s new?

    • Enhanced routing accuracy – rail routes now reflect real-world infrastructure
    • More precise distance calculations – better emissions estimates
    • Realistic start and end points – routes now connect to actual rail stations and industrial terminals

    Why it matters

    Previously, some rail shipments couldn’t be completed due to missing routes, and unrealistic start and end points made emissions tracking unreliable. With this update, rail emissions calculations are more accurate than ever—helping you confidently report and reduce your impact.

  4. Support for multi-schema and custom schema

    Measurement
    Changelog - Multi-Schema

     

    Handling diverse data formats just got easier. Multi-Schema Support lets you upload and process files in various different formats with no reformatting required. Need something custom? We’ve got you covered, too, as long as files meet the minimum data points required.

    Save time, eliminate errors, and simplify the switch from other freight emissions tools. This feature ensures seamless integration with the file format that matters most to you.

  5. Introducing Dashboards, a powerful new feature designed to give customers enhanced insights into their supply chain emissions

    Measurement
    Changelog - Dashboards

     

    With Dashboards, you can drill down by supplier or client, transport mode, and trade lanes to access granular insights that drive impactful decisions.

    We're launching the Emissions overview dashboard as the first in a series of insightful dashboards. This feature allows you to identify inefficiencies and areas for improvement within your supply chain. Users can filter data by Time, Mode, Supplier, or Client, enabling actionable insights and helping you turn data into meaningful sustainability outcomes.

    Stay tuned for additional dashboard features in the future as we continue to expand this powerful tool to meet your evolving needs.

  6. Feature update: In-app routing and organisation-level configuration

    Measurement

    What’s new:

    Users can now set up routing and make other organisation-level configurations directly within the Pledge app — no need for API calls or higher subscription tiers.

    Previously, users had to rely on API access (requiring a higher subscription tier) to set routing and organisational-level configurations.

    With this update, users gain flexibility and accessibility by managing routing and organisational settings in-app, streamlining processes without the need for API interactions.

  8. Branded report sharing

    Measurement

    Streamline carbon report sharing with customers while enhancing your brand

    ✅ Changelog - Branded report sharing

     

    Manually formatting, exporting, attaching and sending reports in Excel or PDF format is time-consuming, increases the risk of human error and misses the opportunity to showcase your brand. To tackle this, we’ve built enhanced report sharing into the Pledge platform.

    You can now create professional branded reports directly in the Pledge platform and share them with customers in just a few clicks. Streamlining this process removes several steps, saving valuable time while reducing the risk of mistakes.

    Additionally, this new feature makes it easier to manage and deliver accredited carbon reports that put your brand front and centre. Tailor reports with your company logo and brand colours to make a positive impression on customers.

  10. Auto-transshipments

    Measurement

    Automatically insert logistics hub activity emissions into your emissions measurements

    ✅ Changelog - Auto-transshipment

     

    Logistics hubs contribute anywhere from 10% to 30% of emissions in transport chains*. Yet, many freight forwarders do not explicitly capture this data in their TMS/CRM, leading to a significant emissions blind spot and an incomplete picture of their carbon footprint. This can negatively impact efforts to reduce the carbon footprint of transport chains.

    Understanding the full spectrum of emissions is crucial for effective sustainability strategies and offers shippers better visibility of opportunities to reduce their emissions.

    With Auto-transshipment, Pledge gives you the choice to opt-in and have logistics hub data automatically included in your emissions calculations. By automating this process, we ensure that the emissions generated from logistics hubs are included without needing to incorporate this data in the API/CSV upload. This feature enables you and your customers to make better decisions based on more accurate and complete data, helping create a more sustainable supply chain.
