To support businesses in tracking and optimizing their CO₂ balance, the Cruise Control customer portal has been expanded with a new CO₂ module. This module enables a detailed analysis of the CO₂ emissions for each shipment. Emissions are calculated as CO₂ equivalents in tons per kilometer traveled, allowing companies to closely monitor the environmental footprint of their transportation activities and identify areas for improvement.

One Module, Two Analytical Perspectives: Key Features of the New Module

1. Emissions by Transport Mode: The module distinguishes between emissions from different transport modes—truck, ocean, rail, and barge —helping to identify specific optimization opportunities for each mode of transport.
2. Emissions by Transport Segment: CO₂ emissions are broken down by the individual transport segments—pre-carriage, main leg, and on-carriage. Additionally, a total sum of all segments and transport modes is provided, giving a comprehensive view of the overall emissions for a shipment.

The new CO₂ module is designed to help customers achieve their sustainability goals and identify cost-saving opportunities. For those interested in benefiting from the emissions analysis, please contact the Customer Solutions Team to have the module activated for your account.

The Cruise Control KPI module provides FMS customers with an overview of the key performance indicators for their transports. The tool offers two viewing levels:

• KPI widgets: Configurable dashboard quick overviews of volumes, carrier performances and lane-based transit time views.
• Standard Reporting: Extended overview of key figures for the last 13 months, available as a download in Excel format.

Your benefits at a glance:

• KPI overviews for volume, on-time performance and runtime deviations
• Overview of key figures as monthly and annual view
• Fitting at container and shipment level
• Focus on various attributes such as POL, POD, lane, carrier, etc.
• Simple Excel export as PDF or print file

Note: The KPI module must be activated by the Customer Solutions Team. Interested? Talk to us!

• Centralized Management: All FMS documents are hosted on a central server, ensuring that all users have access to the latest versions.
• Simplified Exchange: Documents can be uploaded directly to Cruise Control and transferred to the central server, streamlining information distribution.
• User-Friendly Access: The “Document” button on shipment entries and the “Documents” tab in the shipment details provide quick access to all essential information.

Accurate Document Correction and Significant Time Savings

The document correction feature enables users to edit documents directly within the platform:

• Embedded PDF Editor: Documents like BL drafts can be edited directly in the customer portal, improving collaboration.
• Time Savings: Documents can be corrected in real-time within the system, eliminating the need to download and re-upload.
