The international CMR Convention governs the cross-border carriage of goods by road in Europe and sets out the rights and obligations of carriers, senders and consignees. The agreement provides a clear, uniform process that protects the interests of all parties and ensures goods are transported safely. CMR is essential for anyone involved in international freight transport.
Planlogi has reached a new stage in its development. Our users can now start using the international CMR template in their account.
To do this, the main user first needs to make a small change in the general settings and choose which waybill/CMR they want to use from now on. The change applies across the main user's entire account, so only one template is ever in use.
To help you see which information from a Planlogi order appears on the new CMR form, and exactly where, I've added a short guide here.
