Whitepaper e-CMR in retail distribution
GS1, Colruyt, P&G, and e-CMR provider Collect + Go are working together on the standardisation of integrations for e-CMR within retail flows.
This document shares experiences with market parties to stimulate further adoption of e-CMR, including concrete recommendations on how e-CMR can be implemented by chain parties and which activities and process choices can be made. This report consists of the following parts:
- Introduction and problem definition
- Description of current process
- Architecture of generic issuing and processing process e-CMR
- Recommendations and next steps
Customer case Plus
The e-CMR solution from Collect + Go makes deliveries in the PLUS chain more transparent and reliable.
PLUS, one of the largest supermarket chains in the Netherlands, has successfully implemented the digital consignment note (eCMR) in its distribution chain. The digitalization drive was part of the commissioning of the new high-tech distribution center (DC) in Oss. From here, a large part of the stores are supplied by transporters such as Simon Loos and Van Straalen de Vries. In an environment with far-reaching mechanization, working with paper packing slips and consignment notes is simply no longer desirable.

Looking back on a successful trade fair in Munich
This month we were present at the Transport & Logistics Expo in Munich – a leading event in our sector. During the fair we proudly organised several e-CMR Safaris: interactive tours along stands of partners and innovators in the field of digital consignment notes.
The safaris were a great success and attracted many enthusiastic visitors. We spoke to inspiring parties, shared knowledge and showed how Collect + Go contributes to the future of digital logistics.
Were you unable to attend or did you miss the Safari? Let us know – we would be happy to tell you more.

New record! Isowill live within 30 days
“Within 30 days we were live with e-CMR. Less paper, more overview and real-time insight into our transports – that is a big step forward for our logistics.” — Jona Laenen - Financial Manager

Experience with e-CMR from Collect + Go
We recently successfully implemented the e-CMR from Collect + Go in our logistics processes. Within 30 days, we were fully live, from initial coordination to commissioning. The collaboration with the Collect + Go team went smoothly: they think along with us, switch quickly and understand our practical way of working.
The benefits of e-CMR for Isowill:
- Fast implementation – operational within 30 days, without significant disruption to our daily processes.
- Less paper, more overview – physical consignment notes have been replaced by a digital process that works much more efficiently.
- Real-time insight – transport data is immediately available for both drivers and planning.
- Better traceability – signed consignment notes are immediately visible and easy to retrieve.
- Sustainable advantage – eliminating paper documents is in line with our sustainability ambitions.
Hordijk has been working with e-CMR for one year
Jeroen Jak, Supply Chain Manager, Hordijk Verpakkingen
Since last year, our drivers have been working with the digital consignment note from Collect + Go to their full satisfaction. The switch to e-CMR has given us clear efficiency gains: less paperwork, faster handling of deliveries and real-time insight into the status of our shipments.
The implementation went smoothly and the Collect + Go team quickly responds to our functional requirements. They understand logistics practice, which helps us enormously to take the digitalisation of our processes to a higher level.
Their experience in retail distribution is of great value in this respect — it ties in well with the daily practice we deal with. Thanks to Collect + Go, we not only work more efficiently, but also with more control over our logistics operation.
Transition to new app went smoothly
“Thanks to the e-CMR from Collect + Go, we save time, paper and have real-time insight into our shipments. That is more efficient, more sustainable and fits perfectly with how we want to organize our logistics.” — Berd Beverwijk, Logistics Manager, Drukkerij Wilco

Our experience with e-CMR from Collect + Go
Since the implementation of the digital consignment note from Collect + Go, we have experienced significant benefits in our logistical processes.
Some of the key improvements:
- Efficiency in transport documentation: No more physical waybills or packing slips needed — everything is processed digitally, saving time for drivers and administration.
- Working more sustainably: By eliminating paper documents, we save thousands of sheets of paper every year. This directly contributes to our sustainability goals.
- Real-time insight and control: Shipments can be tracked digitally, which provides more control and transparency in the chain.
- Fast implementation: The transition to e-CMR went smoothly thanks to the expert support of the Collect + Go team.
- Connection to practice: Collect + Go understands the logistical challenges of our sector and translates that knowledge into a practical, workable solution.

Breakthrough in E-CMR!
Dataspace for signature exchange
during the Multimodaal Transport Expo in Breda, we launched an important innovation: the DIL dataspace e-CMR. With this data service, we can make the signing of the e-CMR interchangeable between providers. We demonstrated in a demo how it works to make this signing interoperable within container logistics. With this setup, it is possible to link machine-to-machine signing to automated issuing and receiving processes in container logistics.
A cracking first quarter!
International expansion of customer portfolio
We had a fantastic start to the year with no less than five new implementations at Gooskens, Isowill, Heras, Hartmann, BTC and ROC Waalwijk. Each and every one of these are great collaborations in which we help companies with a smooth and efficient transition.
Our record is 44 days implementation lead time… Which of these customers will break this record?
We look forward to a successful sequel and continue to build smart, fast and seamless implementations. Stay tuned!
Dutch and French companies go digital
More and more customers live with e-CMR
In recent months, many international customers have successfully gone live with e-CMR. For example, Dutch manufacturers Zeelandia and Mola, who supply bakeries and retail chains, are now using this digital consignment note. In the French market, transporters Blueroad and Joly Transport are using e-CMR for their logistics processes.
A major customer has also gone live since last week, using e-CMR in retail distribution. A great step towards more efficient and sustainable logistics!
ISO27001: Transition to new standard 2022
Audit completed successfully
This year we have also successfully passed the audit. Our team has succeeded in making the transition to the new standard, which means we are once again raising the bar in the area of data security.
