Sertrans and the decarbonization of logistics transport
Sertrans, a leading company in the logistics sector, has automated the management of its environmental impact by integrating Manglai’s technology into its daily operations. What was once a manual data collection process has become a real-time environmental intelligence system that enables the company not only to comply with CSRD regulations, but meet and exceed decarbonization requirements of Europe’s largest shippers.
Thanks to real-time data capture from its logistics operations, the company achieved:
- 83/100 in emissions measurement, well above the European average (56/100).
- Reporting in < 24 hours, with immediate availability of the footprint of each transport carried out.
- 80/100 in SQAS certification, achieving a top overall score in safety, quality, and sustainability.
The challenge: fragmented data and regulatory pressure
Before Manglai, Sertrans faced a common industry challenge: managing a massive volume of fragmented information. Consolidating the fleet’s carbon footprint relied on manual processes that limited the company’s responsiveness.
The key challenges were:
- Manual and inefficient management: Dependence on spreadsheets to process thousands of services, creating an unsustainable operational burden.
- Difficulty in updating data: Inability to maintain continuous, real-time traceability of emissions per route.
- Audit pressure: The need for a high level of auditability to pass SQAS and ISO certifications without manual errors.
- Reactive model: Lack of a proactive tool to anticipate the transparency demands of major European shippers.
The company needed a solution capable of centralizing all environmental data and enabling decision-making based on real, reliable insights.
The solution: customization and hands-on technical support
Sertrans chose Manglai for its ability to deliver tailored solutions and its close, hands-on technical support. The implementation connected Sertrans’ internal systems with Manglai’s platform, enabling:
- Daily synchronization: Each transport is reflected in the system in less than 24 hours.
- Client-level visibility: The ability to deliver precise emissions reports at the individual service level—an increasing demand from major clients.
- Audit assurance: A digital, fully traceable record that simplifies external certification processes.
Results: proven leadership through data
- Certification excellence (SQAS): Sertrans achieved 83 points in the GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emissions measurement section, well above the European average (56), with an overall score of 80/100.
- USP (competitive advantage): The ability to automatically include the carbon footprint in each service invoice has become a key differentiator—helping win tenders and retain clients demanding greener supply chains.
- Data-driven culture: Sertrans’ leadership now sets annual reduction targets based on real, reliable data rather than estimates, enabling far more effective decarbonization management.
- Administrative efficiency: Reporting tasks that previously took hours of manual work are now completed in minutes, freeing up the team for higher-value strategic activities.
- Regulatory readiness: High-quality data positions Sertrans to meet CSRD requirements, allowing fast and rigorous responses to stakeholder information demands.
Manglai: a key partner for the transport industry
The collaboration with Manglai has enabled Sertrans to move from manual measurement to high-level environmental management. In a sector where precision and timing are critical, having automated, auditable data has become the cornerstone of its decarbonization strategy.
