Austria goes paperless
The digital protocol to the United Nations CMR convention for international road freight has entered into force in Austria, providing the legal foundation for fully paperless road freight.
Austria is the 37th country to join e-CMR. The switch from paper-based to fully digital consignment notes will boost the efficiency and safety of goods transport within Austria and, ultimately, into neighbouring countries, the International Road Transport Union (IRU) said.
By eliminating paperwork, e-CMR lowers handling costs, eliminates administrative and invoicing delays, and reduces discrepancies at delivery sites. E-CMR also offers more accurate data to trace shipments with real-time access to pick-up and delivery information.
