Searoutes powers Freya’s Carbon: AI-Agent Transportation Intelligence integrating CO₂ by default

What does Tetrixx do? What’s the solution?

At our core, Tetrixx is a data intelligence company. We develop specialized AI agents that address critical challenges in global supply chains. Our first commercial solution, Freya, is a specialized AI agent for Transportation and Logistics Data Management. She transforms transportation data into strategic intelligence while automatically identifying overbilling in freight invoices, recovering 2-6% of annual transportation spend for our clients.

Freya works across all transportation modes – ocean, air, truck, parcel – providing a unified solution for enterprises that typically manage 10-15 different logistics service providers. What sets us apart is our automation: when Freya identifies a discrepancy, it not only flags the error but streamlines the entire correction process, including communication with service providers.

Our second product, Box23, optimizes empty container repositioning, addressing a challenge that consumes 8-12% of Shipping Lines’ operational expenses annually – a significant opportunity for both cost reduction and sustainability improvement.

Throughout our platform, we integrate precise carbon emissions tracking using GLEC 3.1 standards. This isn’t merely a sustainability add-on; it’s built into our core architecture. We deliver granular, verifiable emissions data that enables strategic decision-making and regulatory compliance while creating a foundation for future AI applications.

Why Searoutes?

What differentiates Tetrixx is our absolute commitment to data precision. In transportation intelligence, estimated averages simply aren’t good enough. Multinational Corporation (MNCs) and International Freight Forwarders making strategic decisions need exact, verifiable data reflecting actual conditions – including real-time disruptions like the current Red Sea situation that can increase transit times by 30%.

This precision forms the foundation of our platform’s intelligence. When our clients open their dashboards, they see actionable insights based on actual operational data, not approximations. This enables them to make confident decisions about carrier selection, rate negotiations, and network optimization. And this is why we are partnering with Searoutes!

Our technical architecture is built on three principles: API-first for seamless integration, data quality as the cornerstone of everything we do, and automation to eliminate human error. Our engineering team – comprisesd of 15 specialists from top technical institutions – has created a platform that transforms transportation data from a record-keeping exercise into a strategic asset.

This level of granular insight is only possible with precise, verified data that Searoutes provides us with.

This is why global enterprises trust Tetrixx. We don’t just process data; we create the structured data foundation that enables both immediate operational improvements and future AI applications.

Why do global companies need a solution like Tetrixx with Searoutes?

Our clients and prospects have invested millions in ERP and TMS systems, yet these platforms have a critical blind spot: they weren’t designed for the financial precision required in transportation auditing. This creates what we call the “transportation data gap” – the disconnect between operational execution and financial accuracy.

This gap exists because transportation pricing is inherently complex, with contextual factors dramatically impacting costs. Consider the recent Red Sea disruptions – suddenly shipping routes are diverted around the Cape of Good Hope instead of through the Suez Canal, adding nine days of transit time and significantly changing costs. Standard systems simply can’t handle this complexity.

What makes Freya unique is that we’ve built a solution specifically to address this gap. We’ve integrated sustainability reporting directly into this verification process. Every transaction that flows through Freya includes GLEC 3.1 compliant carbon emissions calculations from Searoutes partnership, creating a single source of truth for both financial and environmental reporting. This isn’t an add-on feature – it’s built into our core architecture.

Could you perhaps explain why you made this decision and the philosophy behind it?

Our approach to sustainability is foundational, not peripheral. Just as a car manufacturer wouldn’t consider a speedometer optional, we believe carbon emissions tracking should be a standard feature in transportation management.

This philosophy stems from both personal and practical considerations. While I’m personally motivated by the world we’re leaving to our children, the business case is equally compelling. Sustainability has moved from a nice-to-have CSR initiative to a strategic imperative with direct financial implications.

The data proves this. One of our enterprise clients discovered they had generated over 3,800 tonnes of CO2e in just two months. More importantly, they identified that one of their carriers was producing twice the emissions of another on comparable routes – a clear opportunity for both cost and carbon reduction.

When executives see these numbers in our dashboard – not buried in quarterly reports but visible alongside costs and service metrics – it transforms decision-making. You can’t improve what you don’t measure, and you can’t strategize effectively with approximations. Freya delivers the transportation intelligence needed for both financial precision and sustainability leadership thanks to Searoutes GLEC 3.1 compliant emissions calculations.

How can the importance of greenhouse gas emissions be better communicated?

When communicating about emissions to C-suite executives, we’ve learned that translating environmental impact into financial terms is essential. I call this the “Dollar Equivalent” approach.

Let me illustrate this with a concrete example: if carbon taxation reaches €120 per tonne – a realistic scenario given current regulatory trends – the client I mentioned earlier would face an additional €600,000 in costs based on their 3,800 tonnes of emissions. This immediately transforms sustainability from a CSR initiative to a material financial consideration.

While education about environmental impact is important – and I’ve personally been influenced by thought leaders like JM Jancovici – we must acknowledge that in 90% of Fortune 500 companies, financial impact remains the primary decision driver. Carbon emissions must be presented as what they truly are: a growing financial liability on the balance sheet.

That’s precisely why Freya integrates comprehensive emissions tracking. We’re providing our clients with advance visibility into this emerging cost category, allowing them to identify reduction opportunities before regulatory frameworks make it mandatory. Transportation isn’t just about costs and volumes anymore – it’s about costs, volumes, and carbon. All three dimensions must be optimized simultaneously.

Regulatory developments are accelerating this shift. The EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, SEC climate disclosure rules, and various carbon pricing mechanisms are creating a new financial reality. Forward-thinking transportation leaders are using Freya to get ahead of these requirements, turning compliance into competitive advantage.

If only to produce the CSR report. So how is the data given to them by Tetrixx being used in-house?

A critical shortcoming in most organizations today is that sustainability data remains trapped in annual CSR reports rather than integrated into daily operations. This creates a significant disconnect between reporting and action.

We’ve designed Freya specifically to bridge this gap. Rather than generating yet another isolated sustainability report that sits on a digital shelf, our platform integrates emissions data directly into operational dashboards. Every user – from C-suite executives to transportation planners, from procurement teams to finance departments – sees the same real-time emissions data alongside cost and service metrics for each shipment, thanks to Searoutes vessel-level emissions calculations API.

This democratization of sustainability data is transformative. When your transportation director can instantly see that shifting from carrier A to carrier B reduces both costs and carbon emissions, or when your logistics team can quantify the emissions impact of expediting a shipment, it fundamentally changes decision-making. Carbon becomes an operational KPI rather than an annual reporting exercise.

What excites me most is watching this cultural shift happen in real-time, leveraging partnership like ours.. In organizations using Freya, we see sustainability transitioning from a compliance function to a strategic advantage. By surfacing this data at the point of decision – not buried in quarterly reports – we’re enabling MNCs and 3PLs companies to align financial optimization with environmental responsibility in their daily operations.

This operational intelligence creates the foundation for genuine transformation, moving beyond “reporting because we have to” to embedding sustainability into the transportation decision-making DNA. It’s a powerful shift that positions our clients for leadership in an increasingly carbon-conscious business landscape.
