The Power of Rapid Access to Transport Information
Collect+Go: The Specialist in e-CMR The Digital Revolution in Logistics The logistics sector is undergoing a genuine transformation thanks to digitalisation. One of the most impactful innovations of recent years is the introduction of the e-CMR, also known as the digital consignment note. Where paper waybills used to cause unnecessary delays, errors and inefficiency, the electronic version offers a secure, swift, and optimised way of working. At Collect+Go, we see the e-CMR not simply as a digital replacement, but as the very heart of modern transport management. What Is an e-CMR and Why Is It Essential? An e-CMR, digital consignment note, electronic consignment note or electronic transport document, is a digital document that records all logistics information of a shipment. This document replaces the paper CMR and offers both carriers and shippers direct access to transport data, status updates, and signed proofs of delivery. With the implementation of this digital consignment note, it is possible to get real-time insight into the entire logistics process, with a much higher degree of control and transparency than ever before. The Benefits of Fast Digital Access Fast access to transport information is essential to stay competitive as an organisation. With Collect+Go’s e-CMR, carriers and shippers have immediate insight into all relevant data, such as loading and unloading locations, shipment status and digital signatures. This allows logistics partners to respond more quickly to delays, changes or incidents. Moreover, the digital nature of the e-CMR reduces the risk of errors and lost documents, making transport more efficient and reliable.

New streamlined process inspires AGC to ramp up e-CMR in daily operation!
New streamlined process inspires AGC to ramp up e-CMR in daily operation AGC Glass, a division of AGC Group, is one of the leading glass manufacturers in construction. Their glass panes are distributed all over the world to their customers. The European logistic process was digitized recently with Collect + Go’s e-CMR solution. Container carrier De Block from Evergem played an important role in this digital transition. AGC’s ambition was to streamline the daily operation in a paperless flow. One of their customers already applied e-CMR since 2019. During the Covid pandemic, this new way of working proved its value. It was very easy to switch over to a QR code signoff process in which social distancing was applied. For AGC’s logistics team this was the first stepping stone in digitization of the logistics operation. For Gauthier Bouchez, project manager AGC Glass, the e-CMR process brings a lot of value to the business: “Collect + Go delivers flexible scenarios in handling the e-CMR. When we initiated the project we thought that the goods issuing from our SAP system would be the starting point for e-CMR. It turned out that the process actually started at carrier De Block. They had a legal obligation to issue a paper CMR for the empty container leg. With Collect + Go’s flexible scenario handling we were able to combine two paper CMR’s into one digital e-CMR flow. With this real time process we have full visibility on our shipments now.” 3 months implementation This new way of working was delivered by the implementation team during the summer. Bouchez: “Collect + Go was selected via our RFI/RFP process. Their proven track record with one of our customers and their government certification and technical capabilities were important in our assessment. The project team started just before the summer. We went live mid-September. The integration with our SAP system was made via an API connection. De Block chose to integrate their planning and execution process in parallel. These preparations proved their value in the go live. This went smoothly and for the full 100% for container transport.” Data security and compliance Data security and legal compliance was, next to sustainability, vital to us. Bouchez: “We deliver goods to the Antwerp harbor. One of Collect + Go’s specializations is to link the e-CMR process to gate in / gate out processes. They already integrate with partners that add extra security to the pickup and delivery of containers at the terminals. The e-CMR accreditation by the Benelux governments provides the necessary legal compliancy. The ISO27001 certification safeguards us on data security. Further rollout Because e-CMR delivers important benefits for AGC Glass we are committed to further rollout to our other main carriers. Bouchez: “e-CMR is also of value to them. It eliminates a lot of hassle in the daily operation and provides real time visibility. Our next step is to apply on the other streams too.”
