The paperless CMR solution for efficient logistics

With the EU’s eFTI Regulation (Electronic Freight Transport Information Regulation) set to require the electronic submission of transport data to authorities starting in 2029, the demand for digital solutions in logistics is on the rise. The eCMR, the digital version of the traditional consignment note, marks a major breakthrough. It replaces paper documents with electronic formats, making transport processes more efficient, transparent, and environmentally friendly.

With FreightLogs, EDITEL offers an innovative eCMR solution designed specifically for the needs of the logistics industry.

Benefits of eCMR

Increased efficiency

The electronic consignment note speeds up transport processes by eliminating the need to manually issue, sign, or transmit paper documents.

International applications

eCMR simplifies cross-border transport, reduces complexity, and lays the groundwork for globally connected digital logistics processes.

Highest data quality and precision

With eCMR, transport data is captured in a standardized digital format, ensuring clear, accurate, and traceable documentation throughout every step of the process.

Compliance with legal requirements

The electronic consignment note is already legally recognized in many countries — and will become essential for regulatory compliance in the near future.

Cost savings

No more paper, printing, storage, or shipping costs. Digital storage also makes administration and archiving much simpler.

Sustainability and resource conservation

90% less paper. 100% more sustainable. The digital consignment note plays a key role in making transport logistics more environmentally friendly and resource efficient.

Real-time tracking for full transparency

Transport information is always accessible, and changes can be tracked in real time—greatly improving communication and responsiveness.

Easy API integration

How FreightLogs works

Create eCMR

  • Automated – Relevant data already stored in your TMS or ERP system is seamlessly transferred to FreightLogs.
  • Expandable – Easily add supporting documents such as safety instructions, delivery notes, or other accompanying paperwork.

Invite involved parties

  • Integrated – Partners with system integration automatically receive updates directly in their own systems.
  • Simple & flexible – Non-integrated partners are invited via e-mail and can view eCMR data without needing to register.
  • Driver-friendly – Invitations are sent via SMS, and logging in requires no manual data entry.

Loading

  • Pre-check of data – Drivers and the loading point can review relevant data and make adjustments as needed.
  • Real-time transparency – Final data reconciliation happens right at the loading dock, with changes made instantly.
  • Digital signature – The driver and loading point confirm the handover using a digital signature.
  • Automatic status updates – The loading process can be reported as a milestone to your systems, for example, to prepare customs documents.

Transport execution

  • Real-time documentation – Comments and photos related to information, damages, or shortages can be added at any time.
  • Automated actions – Damages or discrepancies can trigger predefined workflows within your systems.
  • Quick inspections – Police or customs can easily access the eCMR via a QR code link.
  • Driver change – In cases of combined transport or driver handover, the eCMR can be transferred with ease.

Unloading & subsequent processes

  • Digital signature – After unloading, the unloading point confirms receipt, automatically triggering a status update.
  • Automated follow-up processes – Status updates are sent to your TMS/ERP, and the CMR document is archived.
  • Long-term data storage – eCMRs are securely stored in FreightLogs for 10 years.
