The paperless CMR solution for efficient logistics

With the EU's eFTI Regulation (Electronic Freight Transport Information Regulation), which will mandate the electronic submission of transport data to authorities starting in 2029, the demand for digital solutions in logistics is growing. The eCMR, as the digital version of the traditional consignment note, represents a groundbreaking development. It allows paper documents to be replaced with electronic formats, enabling more efficient, transparent, and environmentally friendly transport processes.

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

Benefits of eCMR

Increased efficiency

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

International applications

eCMR simplifies cross-border transport, reduces complexity, and creates a digital foundation for globally connected logistics processes.

Highest data quality and precision

With eCMR, transport data is captured in a standardized and digital format, ensuring clear and traceable documentation of all processes.

Compliance with legal requirements

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

Cost savings

No more paper, printing, storage, or shipping costs. Digital storage also significantly simplifies administration and archiving.

Sustainability and resource conservation

90% less paper. 100% more sustainable. The digital consignment note makes a major contribution to environmentally friendly and resource-efficient transport logistics.

Real-time tracking for full transparency

Transport information is accessible at any time. Changes can be tracked in real time, greatly enhancing communication and responsiveness.

Easy API integration

FreightLogs can be seamlessly integrated into existing systems (TMS, WMS, ERP, DMS, etc.). This also makes the solution ideal for IT service providers looking to expand their product portfolio.

How FreightLogs works

Create eCMR

  • Automated – the relevant data already exists in your TMS/ERP system and is seamlessly transferred to FreightLogs.
  • Expandable – additional documents such as safety instructions, delivery notes, or other accompanying documents can be added.

Invite parties involved

  • Integrated – partners with system integration receive automatic updates directly in their own systems.
  • Simple & flexible – non-integrated partners are invited via email and can view the eCMR data without needing to register.
  • Driver-friendly – invitations are sent via SMS, and the login process requires no manual data entry.

Loading

  • Pre-check of data – drivers and the loading point can view the relevant data and make adjustments.
  • Real-time transparency – the final data reconciliation takes place directly at the loading dock, with changes possible immediately.
  • Digital signature – the driver and loading point confirm the handover with a digital signature.
  • Automatic status updates – the loading process can be reported as a milestone to your systems, e.g., for preparing customs documents.

Transport execution

  • Real-time documentation – comments and photos regarding information, damages, or shortages can be added at any time.
  • Automated actions – damages or discrepancies can trigger defined workflows in your systems.
  • Quick inspections – police or customs can conveniently access the eCMR via a QR code link.
  • Driver change – in the case of combined transport or a driver change, the eCMR can be easily transferred.

Unloading & subsequent processes

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