Real-time data integration for nordic vehicle emission tracking and environmental accountability
Netlight partnered with a leading Nordic logistics provider to enable real-time data integration for vehicle emission tracking – engineering serverless data pipelines for item-level CO₂ calculations across tens of gigabytes of daily delivery data – reducing manual environmental reporting workload by 80%, enabling near-real-time emission estimates for over 95% of parcel deliveries, and advancing cross-functional sustainability goals.
About the client
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.
Challenge
The client aimed to reduce environmental impact by optimising logistics and meeting ambitious sustainability targets. Transportation emissions—estimated to exceed 70% of total emissions—lacked item-level granularity and varied across Nordic regions. The client chose Netlight for its specialized data engineering expertise and proven ability for cross-functional collaboration between environmental and engineering teams.
Solution
Netlight designed and deployed an event-driven Serverless data lake on AWS to handle tens of gigabytes of delivery data generated daily. Data pipelines were developed to clean, transform, and prepare the data for CO₂ emission calculations at parcel level. By breaking down sustainability requirements into iterative deliverables, we delivered a GDPR-compliant solution with near-real-time updates. The system integrated seamlessly with the client's web platform, enabling continuous monitoring and alignment of business decisions with environmental goals.
