The client needed item-level CO₂ emission data across tens of gigabytes of daily parcel deliveries, with figures that varied between Nordic regions. Netlight built a serverless, event-driven data lake on AWS with pipelines that calculate emissions for each parcel. The result is near-real-time estimates for over 95% of deliveries and an 80% reduction in manual environmental reporting.

Challenge
Transport emissions, estimated to exceed 70% of total emissions, lacked item-level granularity and varied across Nordic regions. The client wanted to cut its environmental impact by optimising logistics and meeting ambitious sustainability targets, and chose Netlight for its data engineering expertise and cross-functional collaboration.
Solution
Netlight designed an event-driven, serverless data lake on AWS to process tens of gigabytes of delivery data each day. Pipelines clean and transform the data, then calculate CO₂ emissions per parcel. Requirements were broken into iterative deliverables, resulting in a GDPR-compliant solution with near-real-time updates that integrated with the client's web platform.
Impact
The client is the leading provider of communication and logistics solutions in the Nordic region, ensuring postal service to individuals and companies in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Norway.
