TransFollow vs MovingCert: honest comparison
Updated: July 5, 2026 (MovingCert features) · TransFollow information verified on transfollow.com on July 2, 2026.
TransFollow (transfollow.com), owned by Viaservice SA and of Dutch origin, is the most widely used e-CMR platform in Europe: CETM describes it as the de facto standard of the European e-CMR, and its website claims presence in around 30 countries and 15 languages. It covers the trip's documents: the electronic consignment note (e-CMR) and national control documents, with pay-per-document via credits. MovingCert is a Spanish platform that covers the trip and the driver: the 5 procedures of posted-worker transport compliance — posted-worker declaration (IMI), DeCA, e-CMR with advanced eIDAS signature, and A1 and CAP expiry alerts — with a published flat fee from €11.90/month. They don't compete on exactly the same thing 100%, and on this page we explain it with verified data, including what TransFollow clearly does better than us.

What does each one actually do?
TransFollow is a heavyweight in e-CMR. Its offering, according to their website as of July 2, 2026, is made up of four pieces: the Portal (electronic consignment note management), the Drive app for the driver, Connect (their API for integrating with TMS and ERP), and Messenger, which lets you sign an e-CMR via WhatsApp or Telegram without installing anything. Beyond the e-CMR, it also covers national electronic control documents — in Spain, the DeCA that will become mandatory in October 2026, to which they dedicate their own page. In Spain it's distributed by CETM and FROET to their members, and integrated by TMS providers like Igarle or Meribia. It's also a member of the IRU's eCxMR group alongside FIELDEAS and Pionira, and was officially recognized in the Benelux e-CMR pilot.
MovingCert plays a different game: a self-service platform that brings together in one plan the documents of the trip and the driver. Besides the e-CMR with advanced eIDAS signature and the DeCA, it includes the posted-worker declaration (IMI) with AI data extraction from an email or a PDF, and expiry alerts for your drivers' A1 certificates and CAP cards. All with QR verification at inspection, a REST API, data hosted 100% in the EU, and online sign-up in minutes.
What does each one cover: the trip, or also the driver?
This is the underlying difference, and it's worth saying without tricks: in pure e-CMR, TransFollow is the European benchmark. Our angle isn't "we do e-CMR better than them," but coverage. TransFollow covers the trip's documents (e-CMR and control documents like the DeCA); on their website, as of July 2, 2026, the posted-worker declaration (IMI) and A1/CAP tracking — the driver's documents — do not appear. MovingCert includes all 5 procedures in every plan: if at a checkpoint in France you're asked for the driver's IMI declaration, their valid A1, and the consignment note, with MovingCert all three live on the same platform.
If your only problem is the electronic consignment note and you want the largest network, TransFollow is an obvious candidate. If your problem is complete document compliance for the posted driver, today MovingCert is the one publishing that unified suite.
How does each one charge: flat fee or per document?
TransFollow does not publish prices on their website as of July 2, 2026. Their model is pay-per-use: prepaid credits, at a rate of 1 credit per load-delivery; CETM members can pay per document at month's end and receive 20 trial credits, according to what CETM itself has published. It's a reasonable model if your volume is low or irregular, but it has two consequences: cost grows with every document, and you can't budget it without talking to a salesperson or your association.
MovingCert publishes its rates: €11.90/month (up to 3 vehicles), €29 (10), €69 (25), €119 (50) and €179 (100), plus a custom Enterprise plan. Flat fee: all plans include the 5 procedures without paying per document, the annual plan includes 2 free months, and there's no lock-in. We don't offer a free trial, but you can cancel whenever you want. Publishing prices isn't a minor detail: almost no one does it in this sector, and being able to budget without a sales call is part of the product.
And the mandatory DeCA in October 2026?
Here both of us genuinely compete: TransFollow has a dedicated page for the Spanish electronic control document and is clearly positioned for the October 2026 obligation, according to their website as of July 2, 2026. MovingCert includes the DeCA in every plan, starting with the cheapest.
And a clarification we think is important, because there's a lot of marketing noise around it: there is no "Ministry approval" for the DeCA. The Resolution of the General Directorate of Road Transport of June 5, 2026 sets technical requirements (a digitally native document, PDF up to 5 MB, QR code with an https link), but it does not create any registry or seal of approved providers. If someone tells you their solution is "Ministry-approved," be skeptical: neither TransFollow, nor MovingCert, nor anyone can claim that, because that approval doesn't exist. What any provider can (and must) do is meet the technical requirements of the Resolution.
When TransFollow may be a better choice for you
As promised: honesty. There are cases where TransFollow fits better than MovingCert:
- If your priority is exchanging e-CMR documents with shippers and consignees already on their network. TransFollow operates in around 30 countries and 15 languages according to their website, and its value lies precisely in that B2B interoperability network: if your clients or correspondents already use it, joining where they are makes complete sense.
- If your association offers it on favorable terms. CETM and FROET distribute TransFollow to their members; via CETM, with pay-per-document at month's end and 20 trial credits. If you already pay membership dues, ask before deciding.
- If you value track record and institutional recognition in e-CMR. TransFollow was officially recognized in the Benelux e-CMR pilot, participates in the IRU's eCxMR group, and CETM considers it the de facto standard of the European e-CMR. In that specific field, their maturity surpasses ours.
- If you need to sign with third parties who won't install anything. Their Messenger lets you sign an e-CMR via WhatsApp or Telegram, and their Drive app for drivers is a mature product. It's very low adoption friction for occasional recipients.
- If your TMS already integrates it. Spanish integrators like Igarle or Meribia connect TransFollow with transport management systems; if yours is one of them, deployment can be almost immediate.
If you recognize yourself in these points and e-CMR is your only need, TransFollow is a top-tier provider. Our case is the opposite: when, beyond the trip, you also need to cover the driver (IMI, A1, CAP) and you want to know what you'll pay before you start.
Frequently asked questions
Do TransFollow and MovingCert do the same thing?
Only partly. They overlap on e-CMR and DeCA — the trip's documents. TransFollow does not publish, on their website as of July 2, 2026, services for the posted-worker declaration (IMI) or for A1/CAP expiries — the driver's documents — which MovingCert does include in every plan.
How much does TransFollow cost?
We don't know: they don't publish prices on their website as of July 2, 2026. Their model is prepaid credits with pay-per-document (1 credit per load-delivery); CETM members can pay per document at month's end. MovingCert publishes its own: a flat fee from €11.90/month with all 5 procedures and unlimited documents.
Is either one "Ministry-approved" for the DeCA?
No, and no one can be: that approval doesn't exist. The Resolution of June 5, 2026 sets technical requirements for the DeCA (digitally native, PDF ≤5 MB, QR with an https link) but does not create any registry of approved providers. Any claim of "Ministry approval" in this area is, as things stand, incorrect.
Can I try MovingCert for free?
We don't offer a free trial. In exchange, sign-up is online in minutes, the cheapest plan costs €11.90/month, and there's no lock-in: if it doesn't convince you, you cancel and that's it.
