Spotlight Session: Making OLF-eCMR work in practice

One year after the release of the OLF-eCMR, this Spotlight Session puts the focus where it matters most: on the companies that are actively implementing the open source components into their solutions.

Our speakers, Jonas Kassan (Rhenus) and Thomas Höfler (Editel) will highlight how, as members of the Open Logistics Foundation, they are translating OLF-eCMR into real operational value. They will explore concrete use cases, implementation journeys, and the challenges encountered along the way.

Digitalisation of transport documents is a transformation process that affects systems, partners and workflows across the entire industry. It requires coordination beyond company boundaries and a clear understanding of how digital documents fit into real logistics processes. In this context, open source plays an important role by enabling shared development, transparency, and a common foundation that companies can build on together.

In this session, we will:

• Share real-world use cases from member companies
• Explore individual implementation journeys, including challenges and learnings
• Highlight how collaboration within the community supported progress
• Discuss future plans and roadmaps from a user perspective

This session is designed for decision-makers and practitioners who want to understand how OLF-eCMR works in real business environments – and what it takes to get there.
