Breakthrough Recognized in 2024 Gartner® Market Guide for Logistics Carbon Accounting and Management Solutions

Breakthrough has been recognized as a Representative Vendor for its CleanMile solution in the 2024 Gartner Market Guide for Logistics Carbon Accounting and Management Solutions (LCAMS). The Market Guide offers comprehensive insights on the market, and we believe the recognition places us as a valuable resource for shippers of all sizes and sectors seeking a LCAMS.

CleanMile, accredited by Smart Freight Centre (SFC) in conformance with the Global Logistics Emissions Council, supports industry-leading shippers to track, plan, and execute emissions reduction initiatives. With transportation accounting for 28% of the United States' CO2E emissions, it is a crucial opportunity for shippers. As they become aware of their environmental impact, taking proactive measures to precisely calculate and manage their GHG emissions will position them ahead of their competition.

What to look for in a logistics carbon accounting and management solution

Innovation and adaptability stand as the primary characteristics of leading LCAMS. With significant potential for market growth, vendors must act swiftly and strategically to address the emerging demands of shippers. Likewise, shippers must leverage emerging technologies to start on their sustainability journey. The use of proprietary and primary data, the application of predictive and prescriptive data analytics, and the development of actionable plans tailored to a company's specific goals for reducing GHG emissions are some of the key features to look for in a LCAMS.

Gartner finds, “the LCAMS market is fragmented and immature, creating uncertainty and risk for buyers. Capabilities can be limited, while new vendors are also entering the market, which means that supply chain technology leaders face the risk of purchasing solutions that are not supported in the long term due to market consolidation.”

Why Breakthrough’s CleanMile solution?

CleanMile, launched in 2022, is an end-to-end transportation emissions management solution designed to help shippers track, plan, and execute emissions reduction initiatives. It accomplishes this via a consumption-based model that utilizes primary data from a shipper’s technology system, such as a TMS. It uses the shipper’s data in combination with its dataset of more than 23 million annual shipments to create a baseline for the shipper’s transportation network emissions. This enables the creation of a tailored roadmap to reduce emissions. This roadmap will include recommendations to reduce emissions across four primary methods: carrier selection, mode conversion, alternative energy utilization, and network and payload optimization. CleanMile operates as a SaaS solution, serving road, rail, intermodal, and marine transportation across more than 10 industries.

We feel our inclusion in the Market Guide for LCAMS underscores our solution’s vital role and credibility within the industry. Further, we feel this recognition not only validates CleanMile's advanced capabilities in emission measurement and management but also positions it as a leading solution for organizations committed to environmental sustainability. With CleanMile, shippers can be confident that their strategy aligns with both regulatory standards and corporate sustainability targets, ultimately leading to more informed strategic decisions.
