Consignment note and eCMR

eCMR automation

Sender, consignee, loading point, weight, plate, driver: everything on a consignment note already sits in the order, the TMS and the telematics. Today it is printed, carried, signed, brought back and filed. We connect the existing sources so the eCMR is created automatically, reports its status on the road, and the proof of delivery reaches billing within minutes.

Four building blocks running at forwarders, plus an output to the platform

1. The order becomes a consignment note record

Balkendiagramm Icon fuer Analyse
from 15 minutes to under one minute per order, in production at one customer

The order arrives as PDF, email or portal entry. Our order capture reads the fields, books them into the TMS and mirrors the CMR fields into a consignment note record based on the eFTI core dataset.

2. Dispatch adds vehicle and driver

Import on every change, with no manual handover

As soon as the dispatch plan assigns a vehicle, the import adds plate and driver to the record. At one customer this import runs from a SharePoint Excel on every change.

3. Pickup and delivery via telematics

every 15 minutes, without calling the driver

The telematics reports entry into the geofence at loading and unloading points. Together with the signature in the platform app this gives pickup and delivery with place and time. The arrival detection behind it runs at a forwarder with 60 vehicles.

Invoice only with complete proof

The proof of delivery is checked against order, tour and invoice. Missing signature, consignee reservation, quantity or time deviation land on a clarification list. This reconciliation runs today for tolls, trip data and carrier invoices.

5. Output to the eCMR platform

The finished record goes via API to the certified provider that fits your TMS. Status changes come back and are visible in the customer portal. We do not build a platform.

from 9 July 2027

Provision to authorities

For roadside checks and authority requests the record can be provided through the eFTI platform, until then as a printout from the same record.

What you get

No consignment note is retyped. The data comes from the order.

Proof of delivery is available in minutes, not after the driver returns.

Claims are answered with timestamp, place and signature, not by searching a folder.

Invoices leave only with complete proof. Fewer deductions, shorter payment terms.

From July 2027 you use the right to digital checks without building a new process.

Frequently asked questions about eCMR automation

Is eCMR mandatory from 2026 or 2027?

No. From 9 July 2027 authorities must accept electronic freight information. Companies may, but need not. Paper remains admissible.

Do we need our own eFTI platform?

No. eFTI platforms must be certified. We connect your TMS to a certified provider instead of building a platform.

What if the consignee cannot sign digitally?

The record remains the source. The consignment note is printed from it, the paper signature is attached to the record as a scan. Reconciliation still runs.

Which systems do we have to replace?

None. Your TMS, your telematics and your order channel stay. We build the connection in between.

How long does the setup take?

Two to four weeks for the example case on your data, then the connection to the platform.
