3. Is ICT integration required?
Efficient data exchange is crucial
Complex transport and logistics networks
Increase in freight volumes
Freight transport key factor to socio economic development
Changes to stock and production patterns

4. Multiple roles in the transport chain
Transport User
Transportation Network Manager
Transport Regulator
Transport Service Provider

5. ICT integration in the Logistics Action Plan
Paper free
Electronic flow of information
Ability to track and trace freight
Standard interfaces
Support from emerging technologies

6. Barriers to paperless integration
Insufficient standardisation
Legal requirements
Data security and privacy issues to considered
Data ownership
Lack of uniformity and clarity

7. Freightwise Framework
For whom?
Transport Management
Traffic and Infrastructure Management:
Administration
Aims & Objectives
Support the co-operation of 3 sectors
Support the modal shift of cargo flows
Improved management and facilitation of information
Purpose
to simplify the phases of planning, executing and following up a Transport Execution Plan
to identify Information Packages and also validate the processes between the roles in transport chain

9. e-freight Multimodal e-Waybill
Why is it necessary?
Challenges
Evidence of contract
Document often travels with cargo
Lack of standardisation in liability rules

10. Electronic authentication must:
Be uniquely linked to signatory
Be capable of identifying signatory
Be created using a means which can be maintained under the sole control of the signatory at all times
Be linked to the authenticated data in such a manner that any subsequent change of the data is detectable

11. e-Waybill development
Independent of software implementation
Distributed software solution
Provided through e-freight access points (EAP) to form e-delivery infrastructure
e-Delivery infrastructure
Network
EAP
Creation of e-Waybill
Access to e-Waybill for numerous stakeholders
Transmission of e-Waybill between freight forwarder & consignee

12. Benefits Fully electronic paperless solution
Immediate proof of delivery
Potential for integration with other ICT services
Secure e-Waybill management along entire transport chain
Waybill information available in real time

13. IATA e-Airway Bill Sharing of practice across transport modes Benefits
IATA eAWB
Benefits
Reduction in cost
Increased accuracy & real time access to information
