The e-CMR is the consignment note issued and signed electronically, with exactly the same evidentiary value as the paper version. It is permitted by the Additional Protocol to the CMR Convention, adopted in Geneva on February 20, 2008, which Romania joined through Law No. 29/2019 — in force for Romania since June 12, 2019.

In short: several GPS fleet tracking providers operate on the Romanian market — CargoTrack, TrackGPS, SafeFleet, Fomco GPS, and others. The real differences aren’t in the core features, which are similar, but in the commercial terms: who publishes prices, who requires a minimum contract period, who offers free installation, and how fast. More […]
In short: you choose the right GPS tracking system when you start from the specific problem you want to solve, not from the feature list in the offer. First set your goal (fuel consumption, proof of routes, vehicle security, automated reporting, legal compliance), then check, in order: the device type and installation, the features that translate […]
GPS fleet monitoring is not a “tracking gadget” but a measurement tool: it turns your vehicles’ daily activity into verifiable data on fuel consumption, mileage, working hours and incidents, so you can make decisions based on numbers, not assumptions.

In short: digitalizing a transport company happens in stages, not all at once. The most accessible first steps are GPS vehicle monitoring, automatic notifications for ITP (periodic technical inspection), RCA (liability insurance), and servicing, and moving transport documents to digital format. Next come trip planning, automatic tachograph data download, invoicing, and profitability reports. Existing legal obligations — […]
In short: A freight exchange is an online platform where customers and shippers post loads to be transported, and hauliers find new loads and customers, reducing empty kilometers. The collaboration is formalized through a transport order, a document with the value of a contract that specifies the goods, the loading/unloading locations and dates, the rate, and the deadline […]
