Record the CMR consignment notes of your trips and link them to the transport order, so you can quickly find the CMR of any trip.
In short: in international road freight, the CMR consignment note is the document that travels with the goods. 4transports keeps your CMR register: each consignment note is recorded and linked to the trip it belongs to, and through it to the customer, driver and vehicle. It does not replace the physical document and it is not a digitally signed electronic CMR; it is your record, so you always know which CMR belongs to which trip.
It is the record of your company’s CMR consignment notes. For each trip you register the CMR that accompanies it, and the link to the transport order immediately shows the customer, origin, destination, driver and vehicle. The CMR document itself remains the one issued and signed under the CMR Convention.
The CMR signed on unloading is the proof that the goods were handed over. When a customer asks about a trip or a dispute comes up, you need to know quickly which CMR belongs to it. A register linked to trips cuts the search from folders to seconds.
The CMR Convention and its additional protocol also allow an electronic consignment note. 4transports does not issue or sign electronic consignment notes; it keeps your register of CMRs linked to trips, whatever form of document you use.
