Practical tools to meet your travel carbon targets

Don't get caught up in complexity, focus on change

Tools That Support Your Sustainability Strategy

Your sustainability strategy must be more than just offsetting flight emissions, and should cover actions that reduce the amount of travel, making the best decisions when travelling and having visibility of environmental impact across the whole end to end of travel.

Travel Less

s-ban

The most impactful way to limit carbon is to put travel reduction controls in place.

The travel industry is very good at facilitating travel so support for 'travel less' initiatives is hard to come by.

Unlocked Data is developing tools to help your business implement processes to control travel demand

Although airline emissions are the largest part of a trip, they are often hardest to avoid.

Whereas choosing a train, or an electric vehicle are easy switches to make

Unlocked Data helps you see the total cost & carbon of travel, by consolidating data from different sources

Actionable Insights I

Non-Travel Specialists

• Actionable insights are numerous, each dashboard is designed with a clear “what – so what – now what” workflow, guiding the user through the data story.

• Where end-users are not travel experts, it is particularly important to spell out the action required. Example is from a line-manager email for a large Swiss FMCG business. where we have a clear "Call to Action" associated with each KPI

Actionable Insights II

Measure Total Trip Impact

Ensure you have the most complete data available to help your business make the best sustainability decisions.



Data Consolidation

See the total travel carbon impact

We consolidate data from TMC, direct from suppliers, credit cards and expense tools to provide complete carbon transparency of the end to end of a business trip.

Failure to include these emissions in your baseline now, could give the business a nasty surprise in the future



Sustainability, Savings, Safety & well-being

Give your business a holistic view of travel

Business leaders don't make decisions on one metric only. Showing the environmental impact alongside cost, ROI, health and well-being data, will ensure that decision makers are equipped with the right information and can make informed choices.


Frequently Asked Questions


We have built a data platform & web application, that is completely secure and can be implemented in ONE hour.

Users (budget holders, travellers, travel-team etc) interact with the online web-app, either on their desktop or mobile.

Users can create budgets, business plans, targets and submit them back for consolidation all from our beautifully designed and lightning-quick app.

There are two choices, firstly implement using 'Unboxing' - this is suited to where there are just a few users, and implementation is almost instantaneous.

The second option is for larger user numbers. This is an automated deployment, which will need a small amount of IT support, and takes one hour.

We have designed the platform to require no formal training, but have documentation and videos available.

We are on hand to make sure you are up and running, and will guide IT through the 60 minute implementation live.

Remember we can't see the data, so will need to work together to resolve any data related issues.

For Enterprise clients, we have designated account management support available

We are agile and customer focussed, and want to make sure you get a solution that works for you. Depending on the package purchased different amount of customisation is included.

For Unboxing - As there is no software to download and the data never leaves your system then there is no technical reason to involve IT.

For the on-site deployment, we need about 60 minutes of IT time to deploy the software to you infrastructure.

If you want to connect multiple data feeds, we connect either via API, or just point the app at raw data files on SharePoint / One-Drive etc to run direct, either way, your data never leaves your network.

Data matching algorithms, geo-coding etc all happens inside the app.

There is a one-off exercise to check we have mapped everything correctly, but once you are happy to go, the app remembers your settings.

We can't see your data, so there is no need to sign a data release. Your data doesn't go anywhere and stays completely in your systems, so there are no GDPR concerns.

We do have Cybersecurity credentials, we have the sites penetration tested regularly by third-parties, and our code is externally reviewed, so your IT teams can be confident we take security seriously

You can use the application on your desktop, laptop, tablet or mobile device. There is also a progressive web app option for mobiles/ tablets.

If you have any data API connections to receive data handoffs from your TMC, expense tool, card company etc. You can connect the app to the API directly. Your data still doesn’t leave your system and is just read by the application.

You can extract all or part of the data for download.

We also have PDF print downloads as a presentation

As part of the data management, we look for anomalous or unusual transactions. These can be viewed separately as a report which can be shared with your suppliers to correct or confirm.

Because we never see your data, and our software sits inside secure containers in your environment, contracting is a breeze.

Pricing is a simple SAAS model, there are no up-front costs, and you just pay a license fee for the modules, number of data APIs and number of users.
