Electronic movement document

Modernize transport management and reporting using electronic movement documents

The electronic movement document helps meet the obligations of the Waste Act and facilitate shipment management and reporting

Are you perplexed by Finland’s Waste Act and the obligations it imposes? The information on movement documents must be submitted electronically to the national movement document register maintained by SYKE. The information of paper movement documents has to be entered into the register manually, which takes a huge amount of time, increases the possibility of human error and increases costs. However, this process can be automated with electronic movement documents.

Electronic movement documents are the first step towards more efficient use of time, the benefits of which go beyond mere waste reporting. Optimally, a digital cloud service makes transportation management and reporting up to date!

Using electronic movement documents:

You make transportation easier and minimize human errors along the way

You will increase the efficiency of your business and intensify cooperation between the various parties in the supply chain

You can report for many different uses and monitor material flows in real time

Concrete benefits for transport management and the daily lives of drivers

An electronic movement document service facilitates the flow of information between all parties in the transport, and it is easier to control the transport when driving arrangements can be carried out without paperwork or phone calls. The information reaches the consignor and the recipient as soon as the loading is done and the movement document is generated. The various parties in the chain have easy access to the movement document via a PDF link.

The use of electronic movement documents – or electronic consignment notes – also makes the daily lives of drivers easier. Drivers no longer have to handle paper movement documents, as they can be completed on a mobile device. All receipts and signatures can also be collected using electronic movement documents.

The driver can clearly see all the tasks assigned to him, and is able to fill the information on the road. If the driver receives additional work, changes occur in the transport or there is a complaint in the supply chain, the information is passed on in real time.

More agile reporting for the new Waste Act and daily operations with electronic movement documents

The Finnish Waste Act has required the use of a movement document for the transport of certain waste since 2012. The authority also obliges you to keep the movement documents for three years. In addition to other official reporting, industry businesses also have numerous needs for internal reporting and data processing.

Compiling reporting data from separate spreadsheets or paper documents takes a lot of time. Documents may be in different places, they are often not backed up, and there is a risk of error in the interpretation of paper documents due to varying handwriting. Does everyday reporting and information management really have to be so awkward?

Electronic movement documents eliminate paperwork and headache about the accuracy of information. All the necessary information, such as supply chain events or official cargo data with EWC codes, can be easily traced and verified, for example during an official audit.
