Consignment note and eCMR
Certified consignment note and eCMR solution with Docuten
Avoid lost documents and documentation errors, eliminate delays in your company’s billing, and say goodbye to daily paperwork thanks to digital signatures.
Legal context
The digitisation of transport documentation is supported by a solid legal framework in Spain and internationally.
Law 15/2009 allows the consignment note to be issued in electronic format, and the new Sustainable Mobility Law makes the digital use of the control document mandatory within a maximum of ten months from its publication in the Official State Gazette (BOE). In addition, the Ministry of Transport authorises its digital presentation during roadside inspections via QR code or numeric code.
At European and international level, the eCMR Protocol and the eFTI Regulation allow the use of digital documentation in 38 countries. All of this is underpinned by the eIDAS Regulation, which governs electronic signatures and requires qualified trust services, an area in which Docuten operates as a Qualified Trust Service Provider (QTSP).
Dedicated eCMR development
We take into account the different scenarios that may occur during transport, which is why we have developed a specific solution to address the various eCMR workflows.
The diagram shows the eCMR flow with Docuten: a digital and traceable process that connects all parties involved—shipper, driver and consignee—enabling the electronic issuance, signing and validation of each document.
During the journey, incidents, driver changes, vehicle location and other events can be recorded, ensuring full traceability and compliance with the Sustainable Mobility Law.

Advantages of the Digital Consignment Note and other logistics processes
By eliminating paper-based processes, management time is reduced along with associated costs (printing, physical distribution and storage of multiple copies).
Avoid document loss or misplacement (and the additional costs this may entail) and receive the documentation instantly upon signing.
Having the documentation available in a timely and proper manner allows you to issue invoices from the moment the goods are delivered.
Detailed digital records of the location and status of the shipment, along with cloud storage of documentation for a minimum of 5 years.
The use of digital signatures and authentication ensures document integrity and reduces the risk of forgery or tampering.
Compliance with international regulations and standards, such as the eCMR Convention and customs requirements.
