This feature automatically generates electronic consignment notes (e-CMRs) based on data entered in Transport Bookings within the Navichain platform. The system then synchronizes these e-CMRs with any subsequent changes made to the corresponding Transport Bookings and Runs. This automated generation eliminates the need for manual e-CMR creation.
While the e-CMR is automatically populated, users retain the ability to manually edit the content of existing e-CMRs and add or amend new information as needed. This allows for flexibility and handling of exceptions.
The system also offers configurable notifications for specific events and updates related to e-CMRs. Users can define which events trigger notifications (e.g., e-CMR creation, status change, delivery confirmation) and specify the recipients for each notification type. The sending of these notifications is automated based on the user’s configuration. Data points synchronized include:
Shipper and consignee details (name, address, contact information)
Goods information (description, quantity, weight, packaging)
Dates and times (pickup, delivery, loading/unloading)
Vehicle details (registration number, trailer information)
Driver details (name, contact information, license number)
Special instructions (handling requirements, hazardous materials declarations)
No manual data entry is required for these fields on the e-CMR after initial generation, unless manual edits are deemed necessary by the user.
