The main purpose of FIELDEAS Track and Trace is to drive the digitization of the supply chain at all levels. In this sense, accompanying companies in their digital transformation is our mission.
While it is true that digitization is a pending issue in all links of the chain, it is particularly relevant in the transportation sector due to its atomized structure.
Thus, with the SeamLess eCMR or document digitalization module, we drive the digital transformation of transport companies, as well as all agents involved in shipments.
In this post we take an in-depth look at what the FIELDEAS electronic CMR module is, how it works and how it can help you.
SeamLess eCMR is the document digitalization module of the FIELDEAS Track and Trace solution.
Traditionally, transport documentation is paper-based and has several documents that must be delivered or presented during or after completion of a shipment. In the post “eCMR, consignment note, control document, delivery note, are they the same?” we make a detailed analysis of each of these documents and clarify the usefulness of each of them, as well as their mandatory nature and the possibility of having an electronic version.
However, the progress of society, technological development and new regulations make it necessary to leave paper behind in document management in order to remain competitive and efficient.
This is where the FIELDEAS SeamLess eCMR module presents itself as a great ally to drive the digital transformation of supply chain companies that still base their document management on the traditional method.
The FIELDEAS Track and Trace transport document digitization module is based on four basic pillars: flexibility, collaboration, security and efficiency.
Flexibility is the main differential value of our solution in the market, since it adjusts to any transport model.
With regulatory compliance always guaranteed, our solution adapts to different scenarios depending on the relationship between shippers and logistics operators.
On the other hand, our solution offers different ways to generate the document: automatically from Track and Trace, regardless of the origin of the data; integration and processing of the advanced electronic signature in the PDF generated by a third party; or by scanning the paper and subsequently integrating the signature.
Another aspect of the flexibility of FIELDEAS Track and Trace SeamLess eCMR is the diversity of channels and signatures to be used. In this sense, our solution allows you to configure signature types according to your business needs.
Thus, you can sign the electronic transport document through our own app or through a link, sent by Whatsapp, SMS, email or a QR code. In addition, you can select the type of signature you want to use for your transport documents: biometric signature, via OPT or digital certificate.
The FIELDEAS Track and Trace eCMR includes the different actors in the chain (shipper, logistics operator, transport agencies, drivers, end customer) in the entire document management process. Thus, all these actors can consult the shipment information in real time.
In addition, this collaborative nature is also given by the ability of our solution to integrate with other sources of information, whether they are Track and Trace’s own, other visibility solutions or other solutions such as TMS, WMS, ERP… In this way, our solution is nourished by a constant, bidirectional and real-time flow of information.
The main value of our eCMR solution is that it is completely secure.
On the one hand, it guarantees data protection during the entire transport process and in the custody of documents thanks to its advanced technology, complying with national and European data protection regulations.
On the other hand, thanks to the encryption of the information, only authorized agents will be able to access the documents, which are accompanied by the advanced electronic signature, in compliance with the modification of the ROTT of June 2023, which determines that this signature modality is the only one that grants validity to the electronic versions of the transport documents.

Our solution, beyond digitizing transportation documents, boosts the efficiency of the company and the entire supply chain by reducing costs, optimizing resources, streamlining operations, improving communication and optimizing the decision-making process.
Real-time information is the key to this efficiency, as it allows all links in the chain, at any level and in any transport model, to follow the course of a shipment minute by minute.
In addition, having all your digital documentation in the same place allows you, besides having a digital and accessible archive, to simplify the documentation custody processes.
FIELDEAS offers all the tools to start the process of digitization of transport documents and generate the eCMR, which can be done in three different ways:
FIELDEAS gives you the ability and the freedom to send the document to all the actors involved in the transport expedition, in a secure and collaborative way.
It does so through different channels:
FIELDEAS gives you the flexibility to sign transport documents with advanced electronic signature, complying with all legal and juridical guarantees.
The different types of signatures that can be used in our document digitalization module are:
FIELDEAS guarantees the validity of the electronic transport document throughout the document’s life cycle, both by using the advanced digital signature and by being certified as an approved supplier by the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility.
In this way, FIELDEAS has the capacity to comply with the requirements of in-transit verification in Spain by generating a QR that can be read by the competent authorities.
It also takes care of document custody in compliance with current regulations and ensures that the eCMR document has not been modified at any time during the process thanks to the generation of a time stamp.
FIELDEAS offers multiple implementation scenarios to guarantee the correct integration of the solution within the systems map of your company, whatever its size and degree of digitalization.
Thus, our solution is suitable for all companies that want to digitize their transport document management. We offer different application scenarios:
With everything analyzed in this post, we can affirm that the electronic document management module of FIELDEAS Track and Trace has multiple competitive advantages for your company.
