Certified product shipping: digital evidence for deliveries and claims

Certification of product condition during shipping: legally valid digital evidence for every stage, from loading to delivery.

Product shipping exposes senders, carriers and recipients to disputes over damage, discrepancies and shortages. Documentation of goods condition is produced without any guarantee of integrity, certified timestamp or verifiable geolocation.

The eIDAS Regulation (EU 910/2014) and the CMR Convention set the legal framework for carrier liability and evidence, yet proof of product condition at delivery often remains insufficient or contestable, with costs impacting the entire supply chain.

TrueScreen enables the certification of every piece of evidence on product condition during shipping with tamper-proof metadata, turning photos and videos into legally valid proof.

FAQ: certified product shipping and claims management

1) How does product condition certification work during shipping?
Warehouse operators, couriers and recipients capture photos and videos of product and packaging condition through the TrueScreen app at every stage of transport. Each piece of content is automatically certified at the time of capture with tamper-proof metadata: date, time, GPS position, operator identity and cryptographic hash, with a digital signature that guarantees full evidentiary value and resistance to repudiation.
2) What content can be certified during the shipping process?
You can certify photos and videos of product and packaging condition at loading, evidence of goods condition at delivery with reserves and annotations, damage, discrepancy or shortage reports with georeferenced evidence, and delivery reports with recipient signature, time and certified position. Each piece of content retains tamper-proof context metadata.
3) Does certified evidence have legal validity in transport damage disputes?
Yes. The digital signature compliant with the eIDAS Regulation (EU 910/2014), together with the timestamp and cryptographic hash, confers full legal validity on certified evidence. The documentation supports the burden of proof requirements under the CMR Convention for international transport, the EU Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU and applicable national regulations, and is enforceable in court proceedings, insurance claims and recourse actions.
4) How is damage liability established between sender, carrier and recipient?
Certification of product condition at every stage of transport enables comparison of conditions at loading, during transit and at delivery. Each piece of evidence is associated with certified and tamper-proof timestamps, GPS coordinates and operator identity, making it possible to pinpoint with certainty where in the supply chain the damage occurred and objectively determine liability between the parties involved.
5) How are claims managed with TrueScreen certified evidence?
In the event of damage or discrepancy, certified evidence enables reconstruction of the entire shipment timeline with verifiable proof. The system generates structured reports exportable in PDF and JSON formats, ready for claims management, insurance proceedings and recourse actions. The immediate availability of certified evidence reduces resolution times and post-sale management costs.
6) Does TrueScreen integrate with existing warehouse and transport management systems?
Yes. TrueScreen integrates via API and SDK with e-commerce platforms, warehouse management systems (WMS), transport management software (TMS) and claims management tools. Certified reports are exportable in PDF and JSON formats, compatible with major archiving systems and insurance platforms for claims management.
