For transport companies, this means it is important to determine in a timely manner which approach best fits their organization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With <strong>eWastra<\/strong>, there are various possibilities, ranging from simple digitization of existing documents to a fully digital transport flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Uploading existing DCA documents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you still working with paper DCA documents today? Then you can easily <strong>upload them as a PDF in eWastra.<\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">eWastra is an accredited provider and, as such, ensures specific DeCA compliance, hosts the document securely, and <strong>generates a unique QR code<\/strong> required for roadside inspections. These features are a must to be compliant<strong>. Simply creating a PDF of your paper document is not valid.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Advantage:<\/strong> Ideal for companies that want to maintain their current way of working and become compliant quickly.<br><strong>Disadvantage<\/strong>: Manually filling in, scanning, and converting to PDF still takes time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture><source srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/DeCA-flow-EN-edited.avif 1535w,\/wp-content\/uploads\/DeCA-flow-EN-edited-960x420.avif 960w,\/wp-content\/uploads\/DeCA-flow-EN-edited-768x336.avif 768w,\/wp-content\/uploads\/DeCA-flow-EN-edited-480x210.avif 480w,\/wp-content\/uploads\/DeCA-flow-EN-edited-640x280.avif 640w,\/wp-content\/uploads\/DeCA-flow-EN-edited-720x315.avif 720w,\/wp-content\/uploads\/DeCA-flow-EN-edited-1168x511.avif 1168w,\/wp-content\/uploads\/DeCA-flow-EN-edited-1440x629.avif 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1535px) 100vw, 1535px\" type=\"image\/avif\"><source srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/DeCA-flow-EN-edited.webp 1535w,\/wp-content\/uploads\/DeCA-flow-EN-edited-960x420.webp 960w,\/wp-content\/uploads\/DeCA-flow-EN-edited-768x336.webp 768w,\/wp-content\/uploads\/DeCA-flow-EN-edited-480x210.webp 480w,\/wp-content\/uploads\/DeCA-flow-EN-edited-640x280.webp 640w,\/wp-content\/uploads\/DeCA-flow-EN-edited-720x315.webp 720w,\/wp-content\/uploads\/DeCA-flow-EN-edited-1168x511.webp 1168w,\/wp-content\/uploads\/DeCA-flow-EN-edited-1440x629.webp 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1535px) 100vw, 1535px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/DeCA-flow-EN-edited.png\" height=\"671\" width=\"1535\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/DeCA-flow-EN-edited.png 1535w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/DeCA-flow-EN-edited-960x420.png 960w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/DeCA-flow-EN-edited-768x336.png 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/DeCA-flow-EN-edited-480x210.png 480w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/DeCA-flow-EN-edited-640x280.png 640w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/DeCA-flow-EN-edited-720x315.png 720w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/DeCA-flow-EN-edited-1168x511.png 1168w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/DeCA-flow-EN-edited-1440x629.png 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1535px) 100vw, 1535px\" class=\"wp-image-2467 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Creating DCA documents digitally<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you not have DCA documents yet, or do you prefer not to prepare them yourself? Provide the necessary transport data and eWastra will create the compliant DeCA document for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Advantage<\/strong>: An efficient solution that also serves as a first step toward further digitization.<br><strong>Disadvantage:<\/strong> In addition to the DeCA, your driver will still carry the Carta de Porte on paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Going fully digital with Carta de Porte<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those who want to go beyond mere compliance can digitize the entire transport process throughout Spain. Our <strong>electronic Carta de Porte<\/strong> meets the same technical requirements as DeCA. This allows <strong>one document to satisfy both legal requirements<\/strong> where possible.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Advantage<\/strong>: This results in less administration, faster communication, and increased efficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">One step further? Digitize your international transport as well <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Transport, of course, does not stop at the Spanish border. With the <strong>international eCMR solution<\/strong> from eWastra, you manage both domestic and international transport documents from a single platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This allows you to work with one workflow, one archive, and one digital solution for all your transport documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture><source srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/eCMR-doc-EN-edited.avif 1536w,\/wp-content\/uploads\/eCMR-doc-EN-edited-960x503.avif 960w,\/wp-content\/uploads\/eCMR-doc-EN-edited-768x402.avif 768w,\/wp-content\/uploads\/eCMR-doc-EN-edited-480x251.avif 480w,\/wp-content\/uploads\/eCMR-doc-EN-edited-640x335.avif 640w,\/wp-content\/uploads\/eCMR-doc-EN-edited-720x377.avif 720w,\/wp-content\/uploads\/eCMR-doc-EN-edited-1168x611.avif 1168w,\/wp-content\/uploads\/eCMR-doc-EN-edited-1440x754.avif 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" type=\"image\/avif\"><source srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/eCMR-doc-EN-edited.webp 1536w,\/wp-content\/uploads\/eCMR-doc-EN-edited-960x503.webp 960w,\/wp-content\/uploads\/eCMR-doc-EN-edited-768x402.webp 768w,\/wp-content\/uploads\/eCMR-doc-EN-edited-480x251.webp 480w,\/wp-content\/uploads\/eCMR-doc-EN-edited-640x335.webp 640w,\/wp-content\/uploads\/eCMR-doc-EN-edited-720x377.webp 720w,\/wp-content\/uploads\/eCMR-doc-EN-edited-1168x611.webp 1168w,\/wp-content\/uploads\/eCMR-doc-EN-edited-1440x754.webp 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/eCMR-doc-EN-edited.png\" height=\"804\" width=\"1536\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/eCMR-doc-EN-edited.png 1536w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/eCMR-doc-EN-edited-960x503.png 960w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/eCMR-doc-EN-edited-768x402.png 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/eCMR-doc-EN-edited-480x251.png 480w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/eCMR-doc-EN-edited-640x335.png 640w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/eCMR-doc-EN-edited-720x377.png 720w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/eCMR-doc-EN-edited-1168x611.png 1168w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/eCMR-doc-EN-edited-1440x754.png 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" class=\"wp-image-2469 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ready for October 2026?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you want to become compliant quickly, have DeCA documents created, or digitize your entire transport process: eWastra offers a solution that can grow with your organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start with the solution that fits your company today and be prepared for the mandatory electronic DeCA documentation in Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Further questions or interested in getting started?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/pionira.be\/en\/contact\/\" style=\"background-color:#004db4;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">Contact us<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>26\/08\/2026 From October 5, 2026, the Documento de Control for road transport in Spain will become mandatory in digital format.
