eDeliveryNote project started at Open Logistics Foundation

Every day, millions of delivery notes accompany goods shipments across Europe. However, there is no standardised digital data model for this.

The delivery note plays a central role in domestic freight transport. It documents the handover of goods, serves as proof of delivery and a receipt, and accompanies shipments throughout the entire supply chain. Because it primarily fulfils an operational requirement, its digitalisation has historically developed in a largely uncoordinated manner. The result is a fragmented system landscape in which industry-specific custom solutions and proprietary data formats continue to hinder seamless data exchange to this day – and prevent end-to-end digitalisation at the data level.
