Model and mappings
Compare references, parties, goods, stops and extension rules.
Vendor interoperability
Do not choose eCMR on a demo alone.
Two providers may each show a valid eCMR screen while failing to exchange one editable document across a shipper, carrier, forwarder and consignee.
Assessment scope
Test the workflow between organizations.
Auth and signatures
Check identity, permission boundaries, signature evidence and mobile handoff.
Review and amendment
Test draft, proposed, reviewed, signed and amended transitions.
Failures and export
Exercise retries, partner access, export/import and negative cases.
Procurement output
A decision record, not a compatibility badge.
For a defined set of 2–5 vendors, the assessment can identify tested paths, blocked workflows, assumptions and remediation owners. “Compatible” is only meaningful with a version, scenario and evidence.
