Use Cases
Who uses TrucksOnTheMap for eCMR?
eCMR software for automotive plants and industrial supply chains

- Site-level POD capture from any smartphone or tablet
- Quantity, condition, and damage observations recorded digitally
- Photo evidence of delivery condition attached to eCMR
- Multi-drop POD reconciliation per project and site
How It Works
Electronic CMR for road freight — in five steps
Step 01
Create the eCMR
Shipment data flows from your TMS or ERP via API. The 12 mandatory CMR fields are pre-populated automatically — no manual data entry.
Step 02
Sender Signs at Pickup
The sender authenticates and signs the electronic consignment note. GPS coordinates and timestamp are captured automatically.
Step 03
Carrier Signs & Transports
The driver signs on the mobile app at pickup. Any reservations on goods condition are recorded digitally with optional photo evidence.
Step 04
Consignee Signs at Delivery
The recipient signs on delivery. Reservations, quantity checks, and condition notes are captured — completing the three-party signature chain.
Step 05
Archive & Report
The signed eCMR is stored with full audit trail. Instant retrieval for invoicing, disputes, customs, or compliance audits — no more chasing paper.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about eCMR
What is eCMR software?
eCMR software is a digital platform that creates, signs, and stores electronic consignment notes for international road freight. It replaces the paper CMR with a legally valid electronic document under the eCMR Protocol (2008) — providing real-time document status, three-party electronic signature, and a full audit trail for every shipment.
Is an electronic CMR legally valid?
Yes. The eCMR Protocol (2008) grants electronic consignment notes the same legal validity as paper CMR across all ratifying countries. Combined with eIDAS-compliant electronic signatures (AES or QES), the eCMR is admissible in court and accepted by customs authorities — cutting administrative processing by up to 70% versus paper workflows.
What data fields are mandatory in an eCMR?
Yes. The eCMR Protocol (2008) grants electronic consignment notes the same legal validity as paper CMR in all ratifying countries. Over 25 European countries have ratified, including Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, and Belgium.
What electronic signature does eCMR require?
The eCMR Protocol requires a reliable method of electronic identification. Under the EU eIDAS Regulation, Advanced Electronic Signatures (AES) or Qualified Electronic Signatures (QES) provide the strongest legal standing.
How long does implementation take?
Most implementations go live within 7 weeks. This includes discovery, system configuration, WMS/TMS/ERP integration, carrier onboarding, training, and a pilot phase — followed by full production rollout with dedicated support.
Is an electronic CMR legally valid?
Most implementations go live within 7 weeks. Onboarding includes TMS/ERP integration for shipment data flow, carrier network introductions, mobile app rollout for drivers, eCMR template configuration per lane, training, and a pilot phase with full support.
What data fields are mandatory in an eCMR?
Yes. The carrier self-service portal supports multilingual interfaces and works for international hauliers without IT setup. Drivers download the mobile app, authenticate, and sign eCMRs in their native language — making cross-border adoption straightforward across the 25+ ratifying countries.
Does the carrier self-service portal work for international carriers?
Yes. The carrier self-service portal supports multiple languages and allows carriers to book, reschedule, cancel, and view appointment history 24/7 — without phone calls. It works for domestic and international carrier networks alike.
What systems does TrucksOnTheMap integrate with?
The platform connects to major WMS (Blue Yonder, Manhattan), TMS (Oracle, Descartes), and ERP (SAP, JDE) systems via REST API or EDI. GPS and telematics integrations provide live ETA updates. A full sandbox environment is available for custom integrations.
How much does eCMR save compared to paper?
Per consignment note, eCMR costs €0.50–2.00 versus €3–8 for paper (printing, postage, archive, retrieval). Add the indirect savings — faster invoicing from instant POD, reduced disputes from accurate data, and zero physical archive — and total savings typically reach 60–80% versus paper workflows.
