Why delivery-level carbon data matters
Customers and contractors increasingly ask suppliers for delivery-level carbon data for their own reporting, not just a year-end estimate. Because Xcalibur records CO2 on the same docket as the weights, product and journey, you can answer those requests from dispatch data rather than building a separate spreadsheet after the event.
Estimate, track, reconcile
CO2 is estimated when the load is weighed and dispatched. When the vehicle returns, the figure is reconciled automatically with actuals, using the actual round-trip distance rather than a planned estimate. That gives you a delivery record you can stand behind, and a corrected total once the journey is complete.
Material and vehicle emissions on every docket
CO2 is recorded on each docket against the vehicle and the product, a concrete mix or an aggregate. Vehicle emissions use manufacturers' figures. Material emissions use emission factors you set for each material or mix. The combined figure sits on the digital ticket (weighbridge ticket or scale ticket) that the customer and the haulier or carrier receive, so operations, sales and sustainability teams work from the same record as invoicing.
From docket to invoice and self-bill
The same CO2 figures carry through to invoicing. Customer invoices that cover more than one docket show CO2 for the invoice as a whole and for each docket, broken down by vehicle and by product. Haulier and carrier self-bill invoices show the same breakdown. Nothing is re-keyed between the docket and the invoice.
Roll up by customer, site, product or period
Per-docket figures can be rolled up by customer, site, product or time period, so you can see totals for a contract, a depot or a month without reworking the underlying tickets. The same roll-up works for ready-mix concrete, aggregates and other materials you dispatch in Xcalibur.
Export for sustainability reports
You can export the figures for regulatory submissions and sustainability reports. Xcalibur provides the per-delivery and rolled-up data from dispatch; it does not replace a specialist carbon-accounting or certification product.
Frequently asked questions
Can we give a customer a CO2 figure for each delivery?
Yes. CO2 is recorded on each docket against the vehicle and the product, and it carries onto the docket the customer and the haulier or carrier receive. Customer invoices that cover more than one docket show CO2 by invoice and by docket, broken down by vehicle and product, and haulier self-bill invoices show the same. You can also roll figures up by customer, site, product or period and export them for sustainability reports.
When does the CO2 figure on a docket become the final figure?
Xcalibur estimates CO2 when the load is weighed and dispatched, then reconciles it automatically with actuals when the vehicle returns, using the actual round-trip distance. The reconciled figure is the one that reflects the journey that was actually made.
Does the CO2 figure include the material as well as the vehicle?
Yes. CO2 is recorded against the vehicle and the product, a concrete mix or an aggregate. Vehicle emissions use manufacturers' figures, and material emissions use emission factors you set for each material or mix. Every docket captures the combined figure.
Can we total CO2 by contract, depot or product line?
Yes. Per-docket figures can be rolled up by customer, site, product or time period and exported, so you can report on a contract, a depot or a product line without rebuilding the data by hand.
