Now booking foundation fleets for the FY27 reporting year — Schedule a call
Data Meter Freight
For Australian fleets of 10–100 trucks

Your customers now report your emissions. We produce the numbers.

Coles, Woolworths and the miners started reporting supply-chain emissions in July, and freight is part of what they report. We turn your fuel card and job data into a CO₂ statement for each of your customers, plus the paragraph you paste into their tender. No software for your team to learn.

20 minutes, no charge, no deck. We'll tell you honestly whether you need this yet.

Why this landed on your desk

The form arrives from your biggest customer. Then it sits there.

It goes to the office. Somebody reads "grams of CO₂ per tonne-kilometre", decides it's a question for someone else, and it moves to the bottom of the pile. Three weeks later the customer follows up, and now it's urgent.

Meanwhile the tender you were going to bid on has a sustainability section worth real points, and the bigger operator down the road already has their number.

You don't have a sustainability manager. You have a fleet to run and a fuel bill to pay.

That's the whole reason this service exists. You send two exports. The reporting comes back finished, in the format your customer asked for, with the method attached so it holds up when they question it.

Schedule a call

Or forward us a form a customer has already sent — we'll tell you what it's asking for, free.

What you get

Three things we run for you

01 — the compliance asset

Customer statements

A one-page CO₂ statement per customer, every quarter, in the format that customer asked for. Two customers, two templates? You get both. Their follow-up questions come to us, in writing, not to your office.

The outcomeYou stop being the supplier who can't answer, without anyone on your team learning a thing.
02 — the revenue asset

Tender answers

The sustainability section written for your fleet: your figures, your method, your vehicle and fuel profile. Refreshed annually, so it's ready before the submission window, not at 11pm the night before.

The outcomeYou score points where you used to leave the section blank — on work you were already bidding for.
03 — the margin asset

Fuel intelligence

The same data read the other way: litres per 100km by truck, idle hours, empty running, and the gap between your best and worst driver on the same run.

The outcomeYou see where the diesel goes. On a 50-truck fleet, one percent is about $32,000 a year.

How it works

Ninety minutes of your time. That's the whole ask.

Built around one assumption: nobody at your depot has spare hours.

01

The call — 20 minutes

What you haul, who your major customers are, which fuel cards and telematics you run, and whether anyone has sent you a questionnaire yet.

  • No deck, no discovery phase, no sales team
  • You get a straight answer on whether this is worth doing for you
The outcomeYou know where you stand, even if the answer is "not yet".
02

You pull two exports

A checklist with screenshots for your fuel card portal and telematics, plus your job or consignment list.

  • Fuel card transactions — AmpolCard, Shell Card, BP Plus, FleetCard
  • Bulk tank deliveries and dispensing log, if you run a tank
  • Telematics trip export, or odometer readings
  • Or we do it with you on a screen share, once
The outcomeAbout an hour, and you never touch it again.
03

We map, calculate and check

Vehicles matched to fuel, fuel matched to jobs, jobs matched to customers. Refrigeration unit fuel taken separately. Subcontracted freight reported on its own line.

  • ISO 14083 and GLEC v3.2 method, Australian NGA 2026 factors
  • Gaps estimated conservatively and labelled as estimates
  • Every figure keeps its source, so it survives a question
The outcomeNumbers that hold up when your customer's auditor looks at them.
04

You get the reporting, finished

Statements per customer, fleet totals, intensity per tonne-kilometre, the methodology note and the tender paragraph — plus a walkthrough call so you can answer questions about your own numbers.

  • Two weeks from receiving your data
  • Then quarterly, without you chasing it
The outcomeThe question stops being a problem, for good.

  • 12 months measured — Scope 1, Scope 2, subcontracted freight
  • Statements for your top five customers
  • Intensity in g CO₂e per tonne-kilometre
  • Methodology note and tender paragraph
  • Delivered in two weeks

Ongoing reporting

$395 per month

For fleets answering customers every quarter.

  • Quarterly statements for every customer
  • We answer customer questionnaires for you
  • Quarterly fuel, idle and empty-running report

Fuel programme

20% of measured saving

Paid from the saving, or not at all.

  • Baseline litres per 100km by truck and driver
  • Idle, empty running and route findings
  • Measured against your own baseline
  • If nothing is saved, nothing is charged
  • Starts after a quarter of clean data

Prices exclude GST. A 50-truck fleet burns roughly 1.8 million litres a year — about $3.2m of diesel. Year one of reporting is $7,240, or a quarter of one percent of that.

The next 18 months

Carriers face a decision, and most will make it late

The obligation isn't yours — it belongs to the large companies you haul for. But their reporting needs your numbers, and each year more of them ask. The first group started in July 2026. The second follows in FY28. The third after that.

Nothing dramatic happens to the carriers who ignore it. There's no fine, no letter. Just a slow erosion: a tender scored slightly lower, a customer who quietly moves volume to an operator who answered, a renewal that gets harder to defend on price alone.

The carriers who sort it early spend a fortnight on it once, and then stop thinking about it. That's the whole choice.

Schedule a call

We take on a limited number of foundation fleets each quarter so the two-week turnaround holds.

Straight answers

Questions we get asked

Do I have to do this by law?
Almost certainly not. The obligation sits with large reporting entities, not with a 40-truck carrier. What reaches you is commercial pressure: their reporting needs your numbers, and tenders score them. If nobody has asked you yet, wait — and know who to call when they do.
My data is a mess. Is that a problem?
It's the normal starting point. Fuel cards, a tank, paper dockets, a job list in the TMS. Where something genuinely isn't there we estimate it conservatively, label it on the statement, and tell you what to start capturing so next year is stronger.
Do you sell offsets or certification?
No. We measure and report. If you later want offsets or a certification that's your call, and we earn nothing from it — deliberately, because it keeps the measurement honest.
We have telematics that shows CO₂ already.
That gives a fleet number from kilometres. Your customer wants their share, in their format, with the method attached — and on a reefer fleet, the fridge fuel the odometer never sees. That gap is the work.
How do subcontractors get counted?
Separately and clearly, because that's how your customer's accountant expects to see them. Where the subbie can give us fuel data we use it; otherwise it's estimated from distance and vehicle type, and labelled.
What happens to my data?
It stays yours. We don't publish your figures, name you as a client without asking, or pass data to anyone. Details on the data handling page.
