EcoMetric
Description
EcoMetric is a sustainability analytics platform for e-commerce brands that want to operationalize their climate goals. It integrates with shipping carriers to calculate the carbon footprint of every order in real-time and provides data-driven suggestions for low-emission fulfillment routes. Brands can use the platform to offer carbon-neutral shipping at checkout, increasing conversion with eco-conscious consumers. It transforms climate reporting from a yearly headache into a real-time tool for brand building and logistics optimization.
