The transport sector is digitizing at a rapid pace, and an important innovation in this is e-CMR. But what exactly is e-CMR? e-CMR stands for the digital consignment note; the electronic version of the traditional paper CMR consignment note. This digital document ensures more efficient, safer and more sustainable transport.
E-CMR, or the electronic consignment note, replaces the paper CMR and offers logistics companies and transporters a simple and automated way to manage freight data. This digital document contains all essential information about a shipment and is legally binding. With e-CMR, administrative burdens are reduced and transport processes are optimized.
Why switch to e-CMR?
Using a digital consignment note offers many advantages for transport companies, logistics service providers and shippers:
- Efficiency and time saving
With e-CMR, freight data can be shared and processed in real-time. This eliminates errors and speeds up administrative processes. No more hassle with paper documents that get lost or damaged!
- Cost savings
Automating the consignment note drastically reduces paper, printing and storage costs. In addition, less administrative work leads to lower personnel costs.
- Better traceability and transparency
Thanks to e-CMR, carriers, clients and recipients can track the status of a shipment in real-time. This ensures improved chain transparency and fewer misunderstandings.
- More sustainable transport
The switch to an electronic consignment note contributes to a more sustainable logistics sector. Less paper consumption means lower CO2 emissions and a smaller ecological footprint.
- Legal certainty
The e-CMR is fully recognized and legally binding in almost all European countries. This allows transportation companies to confidently transition to this digital solution without risking compliance issues.
The e-CMR, also known as a digital consignment note, is the future of logistics. It ensures more efficient, cheaper and sustainable transport, while simplifying administrative processes.

How does e-CMR work in practice?
Transporters and logistics companies can easily use an e-CMR platform such as Collect&Go. Through our advanced software, all freight data is digitally recorded and shared between shipper, carrier and recipient. This ensures seamless integration into existing systems and a smooth workflow.
When loading the goods, the sender signs the e-CMR, after which it is digitally signed by the driver. Real-time updates can be sent during transport, and the consignment note is digitally signed off by the recipient upon arrival at the destination. This makes the entire process more efficient and without paperwork.
