DOCTAG Knowledge
eCMR Additional Protocol
DOCTAG is compatible with the eCMR Additional Protocol and supports a digital international consignment-note process without platform breaks.
In practical terms: you can start with existing PDF documents and avoid launching a separate large EDI project.
What this means in practice
- No mandatory new interfaces for the initial rollout.
- Multi-party process across shipper, carrier and consignee.
- Traceable document history for approvals, handovers and evidence.
Legal basis: core requirements at a glance
- The electronic version must reliably represent the content of the CMR document.
- Documents and declarations must be made accessible to the involved parties.
- Integrity and evidential traceability must be ensured so that changes remain detectable.
How DOCTAG addresses these requirements
- DOCTAG uses existing PDF documents and keeps document content states traceable.
- Sharing and access for all involved parties work directly via link or QR code.
- Electronic signatures and document history make status changes and modifications transparent.
