About
Searoutes is a sustainability-focused data platform designed for logistics and supply chain professionals who need accurate, accredited carbon emissions intelligence. Trusted by over 110 organizations worldwide, the platform provides three core capabilities: Carbon Emissions measurement, Ocean Routing optimization, and AIS Vessel Tracking. The Carbon Emissions module allows companies to compute CO₂e emissions for multimodal freight transport, automatically generate compliance reports, and compare carriers and services by their environmental impact. Organizations can identify emission hotspots within their supply chains, support Scope 3 reporting, and chart a path toward net-zero targets. The Ocean Routing engine delivers highly accurate sea distances matched to real carrier services, supports complete door-to-door routing including inland legs, and helps predict arrival times while estimating fuel consumption and deviation costs. The Vessel Tracking module provides live AIS positions, voyage details, distance-to-port, and ETA estimates for fleet and container management, with historical position data for operational analysis. Built on an API-first architecture with 99.9% uptime, Searoutes integrates seamlessly into the systems of carriers, freight forwarders, shippers, and solution providers. Users can process bulk shipments via CSV, retrieve API keys, and access actionable analytics for regulatory compliance and reduction strategies. The platform is ideal for logistics companies, sustainability managers, and developers building green supply chain solutions.
