Food Delivery Giant Optimizes Carbon Reporting for 5000 Locations

The Challenge

One of the world’s largest food delivery companies, headquartered in Germany, needed to gather energy consumption data from over 5000 mini-markets, warehouses, and offices around the globe. They were required to meet strict regulatory compliance and wanted to ensure accuracy in their carbon accounting system. With complex regulatory requirements, they needed a solution that could consolidate this data in real-time and feed it directly into their carbon accounting software, Watershed, for accurate regulatory reporting.

The Solution

Cedalio provided a streamlined solution that captures and organizes energy consumption data from thousands of locations worldwide. Through a direct API integration with Watershed, Cedalio automated the data flow, ensuring that every kilowatt-hour is accurately accounted for in their carbon reports. Cedalio’s anomaly detection also helped flag unusual spikes in energy use, which led to targeted investigations and immediate fixes.

The Impact

• Regulatory Compliance: Automated accurate reporting to meet European regulations.
• Data Integration: Seamless API connection with Watershed, removing manual data transfer.
• Increased Visibility: Real-time tracking of energy consumption trends across all global locations.
• Cost Savings: Anomaly detection helped uncover faulty equipment at 12 warehouses, reducing excess energy use by 15% and saving the company thousands in unnecessary expenses.
• Time Savings: Reduced data aggregation time from weeks to hours.
