Everything CargoPay does.
From the shipment outward.
CargoPay is a shipment management system for European road freight. You create the shipment once; the freight board, the bids, the eCMR and DeCA documents, the dock appointment, the route, the tracking link and the payment are all generated from that record. This page lists every service, what it does and who uses it.
In short
Nine services, one record. Shipment management holds the load. The boards and the request for bids find the carrier. The eCMR and the DeCA or eFTI document are issued from the shipment. DockPass books the bay against it. The route planner, TruckTrace and the fleet and driver records cover the truck. The payment request settles it on terms both sides agreed before loading. The verified network is who you are doing all of this with. Logistics IT Management is for companies that would rather we ran the technical side.
Shipment management
For shippers and carriers
Every load on CargoPay has one shipment record: the parties, the route, the cargo, the equipment, the agreed terms and the status history. You enter it once, at the point it is agreed. Everything else on this page reads from it, and nothing is copied between systems, because there is only one system.
How the shipment record worksFreight board, truck board and bids
Shippers post, carriers answer
Three ways to match a load with a truck, all inside the network of verified companies. A shipper posts a confirmed shipment to the freight board, or opens it as a transport request and receives bids from carriers, then awards one. A carrier publishes free capacity on the truck board so shippers with a load on that lane can contact them. The listing carriers answer and the load you agreed are the same record, so there is no step where somebody retypes it.
- Only admitted companies see the boards; every counterparty is already verified.
- Awarding a bid closes the request for everyone else and updates the shipment.
- Posting a request and bidding are per-action charges, listed below.
eCMR, DeCA and eFTI
Issued from the shipment, signed from a phone
The transport document is built from the data the shipment already holds, so it cannot contradict the order. The eCMR is the electronic consignment note: shipper, driver and consignee sign in order, from any phone, without an account. The DeCA is Spain's electronic control document for national road freight, mandatory from 5 October 2026, issued as an unsigned eFTI document with its own QR link. Several services carried together by one carrier for one shipper can travel under a grouped DeCA: one document with its own number and PDF that lists the documents inside it.
- Free DeCA tool for anyone: issue a compliant control document without an account.
- Signatures are collected through an external e-signature provider; the signed PDF is stored against the shipment.
- Every document in the three languages of the platform.
DockPass dock scheduling
For sites with loading bays, and the carriers that visit them
DockPass turns your loading bays into a bookable calendar. The appointment is booked against the shipment itself, so the carrier, the reference and the direction are already known and the driver arrives to a named slot instead of a queue. A carrier books online with the shipment reference from the transport order: no account, no password.
Payment requests
Terms agreed before loading, recorded on the shipment
The payment request is raised against the shipment, on terms both parties see before the load is accepted. You choose one of three workflows: immediate (paid in full before dispatch), authorise and capture (funds held at booking, captured on delivery) or deposit and balance (a deposit now, the balance after the CMR is signed). Paid by card and processed through Stripe, with EU VAT and reverse charge handled on the request. Every step is recorded against the shipment, so the payment is tied to a load the platform can see.
Route planner, TruckTrace, fleet and drivers
The truck side of the same record
Truck route planner: a truck-legal route with breaks and rests placed according to Regulation (EC) 561/2006, with vehicle profile, ADR tunnel category and the stops you add. Public, no account.
TruckTrace: the shipment becomes one time-limited link you send your customer. They watch the truck on a map with no account, no app and no password. The positions come from the log the driver already files; the driver's name and speed are never shown.
Fleet and driver records: the vehicles you register are the ones you post on the truck board and share through TruckTrace. Drivers file their log from a link on their phone, without an account.

Nobody signs up; companies are admitted
Before a company can post, bid, sign or be paid, a person reviews its registration documents, validates the VAT number against VIES and checks the address. Verified status is shown on the profile and revalidated on a schedule. Type any VAT number on the public lookup and see whether the company is a member, what was checked and when, before you commit a truck or a load.
Logistics IT Management
For companies that want the technical side handled
Transport now comes with technical obligations: electronic documents, e-signatures, payment integration, data protection. Logistics IT Management takes that work on for carriers and shippers, so you run trucks and loads and we run the systems behind them.
What we take onSecurity and compliance
Nothing to configure
Card data never touches CargoPay: Stripe processes every payment. Each payment request is screened for velocity and behaviour before it is captured. Company data is isolated per organisation, and the platform is operated under the GDPR with the data subject rights it grants. Risk cannot be eliminated; it is recorded and managed.
Security detailsNeed something that is not on the list?
We also take on custom software development and third-party integrations for transport and logistics: connecting CargoPay or your own tools to a TMS, WMS, ERP, telematics, customer portals or a carrier's systems, and building the pieces that do not exist yet. Tell us what your operation needs and we will tell you what it takes.
