PackageCarbon: Supply Chain Emissions Auditor
Automatically calculates and tracks Scope 3 carbon emissions for each supplier shipment by parsing invoices, bills of lading, and freight docs—turning compliance headaches into real-time dashboards for mid-market manufacturers.
The Problem
Mid-market manufacturers struggle to calculate Scope 3 emissions (supplier-related carbon) because it requires manually cross-referencing purchase orders, shipping methods, distances, and product weights across dozens of suppliers. Most existing tools are enterprise-only ($50k+/year) or require manual data entry that no one actually maintains.
Target Audience
Sustainability managers and operations teams at 50-500 person manufacturers in regulated industries (automotive, electronics, consumer goods) who need to report ESG metrics to investors or comply with EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).
Why Now?
SEC climate disclosure rules (2024+), EU CBAM penalties (2026), and shareholder pressure mean mid-market companies now need Scope 3 tracking but can't afford enterprise tools; window to build affordable alternative is narrow.
What's Missing
Existing solutions either require manual CSV uploads or charge enterprise prices for automation; no one has built an invoice-parsing MVP that works for small/mid teams with messy supplier data.
