What is a digital consignment note?
A digital consignment note is the electronic version of the document used to record the main data of a transport operation. It keeps information available without relying only on paper.
This helps teams keep documents organized, coordinate shippers, carriers and consignees, and retain traceability for each file.
Consignment note, CMR and control document: key differences
The consignment note documents the transport operation. CMR is widely used for international road freight, and eCMR is its electronic version.
The transport control document addresses specific administrative requirements in Spain. Traxain helps centralize these flows in one document base.
