Manual File Attachment for eCMR
Digital transport documents rarely exist in isolation. In real-life logistics operations, shipments are often accompanied by additional paperwork β certificates, instructions, proofs, delivery notes or regulatory documents.
The Attachments feature in eCMR allows users to digitally connect these supporting documents directly to the transport document, ensuring everything travels together β digitally.
Our eCMR users will be able to attach all relevant documents to the eCMR.
π Why Attachments Are Important in eCMR
In the logistics industry, many processes still depend on supporting documents beyond the CMR itself.
By attaching files directly to the eCMR, users can:
Centralize all shipment-related documentation in one place
Avoid separate email exchanges or paper handling
Improve transparency between shipper and carrier
Reduce disputes caused by missing documentation
Support compliance and audit requirements
Enable smoother handovers during loading and unloading
Instead of managing documents across different systems, inboxes, or printed copies, everything becomes part of the digital shipment record.
π Typical Use Cases in Logistics
Attachments can be used for many industry scenarios, including:
π¦ FMCG / Retail
Packing lists
Commercial invoices
Quality control documents
Delivery instructions
π§ͺ Chemical Industry
Cleaning certificates
Tank wash confirmations (PPLs)
Safety data sheets (SDS)
Regulatory compliance documents
π Construction & Industrial Goods
Product specification sheets
Batch documentation

Proof of origin
π International or Regulated Transport

This flexibility allows the eCMR to become a single digital container for shipment documentation, not just a transport contract.
