Electronic Documentation (ED)
A must for every hazardous goods transport.

Which goods are transported in which quantity, how are they packed? And is the driver authorized to carry out this transport at all? When transporting hazardous goods such as chemicals or flammable liquids, numerous aspects must be taken into account to ensure the safety of everyone involved. With our Electronic documentation, logistics companies, freight forwarders or shipping companies take a further, essential step towards digital dangerous goods documentation. Paperless and sustainable. Flexible and resource-saving. Simply smart.

Hazardous materials paperwork:
Filling out and checking them takes a lot of time

The Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR) stipulates that numerous documents must be carried along with the transport of dangerous goods. This comprehensive provision of relevant information is a complex process, given the wealth of data that needs to be recorded and kept up to date. Another complicating factor is that many companies still carry out the legally required documentation for hazardous goods transports manually - this is not only time-consuming, but also associated with risks.

  • Repeated entries and transfers of data between different documents lead to bottlenecks in the transport of dangerous goods

  • Paper documentation is prone to errors, especially when employees are under pressure or not adequately trained

  • Manual changes and updates cannot be communicated to all parties in real time

  • Limited access to vital records delays decision making or emergency handling

  • Difficulty verifying and tracking information, especially when multiple people are involved in gathering it

  • Reduced visibility due to language issues, especially for international hazardous materials shipments
