Transport management
software.
Cofactu runs the transport service from start to finish: the DeCA (Spain's electronic transport control document) that leaves with the load, the driver who carries it, the signature of the person who receives it and the invoice that charges for it. For hauliers, and for shippers who hire transport, including foreign companies moving goods in and through Spain.
It connects every service with its DeCA, its delivery and its invoice. It organises the work of hauliers and agencies with operational planning, tracking, incidents and margin per service.
A transport service leaves a trail of paper: the DeCA, the consignment note, the signature on delivery, the waiting time at the dock and the invoice. In Cofactu they all come out of the same place.
Issue a DeCA for freeFrom the load to the invoice
Load
The shipper issues the DeCA, or you issue it for them. A PDF with a QR code and a public address that anyone can check without logging in.
Read moreAssign
Driver, tractor unit and trailer are recorded on the service. The driver receives the DeCA on their phone and needs no account.
Read moreRoll
Waiting time at loading and unloading is logged and calculated as downtime. So is the price revision for diesel.
Read moreDeliver
The consignee signs on screen. The signature is stored with the DeCA and the service, as proof that the goods arrived.
Read moreInvoice
The service generates the draft invoice with its prices. You review it and it goes out signed, chained and ready for the AEAT (Spanish Tax Agency).
Read moreSettle
If you subcontract, the services to partner carriers and their settlements come from the same place, with a rate card per client.

Questions about Cofactu Logistics
The availability of e-CMR, eFTI or sector integrations has its own requirements. Check the scope of the e-CMR before choosing a solution for that use.

It is the Cofactu area for managing road transport services: DeCA documentation, operational planning, driver, proof of delivery (POD), incidents, tracking, costs and invoicing. The offer separates free manual issuing of the DeCA from the plans for managing the operation.
Can I issue a DeCA without buying Logistics?
Yes. Manual DeCA issuing is unlimited on every plan, including the Free plan. You need an account, no card. To organise services, deliveries and costs you have the Logistics plans; the advanced features are detailed on Pricing.
Does the Logistics plan include SME?
Yes. Logistics costs €79/month, Logistics Pro €149/month and Logistics Plus €249/month, excluding VAT, billed monthly per company. All include SME. From Logistics Pro there are subcontracting, rate cards and carrier settlements. See the conditions and annual billing on Pricing.
Is planning services the same as optimising routes automatically?
No. Operational planning organises services and assignments. Whether route calculation, telematics or other integrations are available should be checked for your operation before buying; it is not assumed just because you have the logistics module.
Can I work with my accounting firm?
You can share access to your organisation with the right permissions. Accounting firms have plans to manage their client portfolio. The DeCA documents the transport; the invoice and the expenses are the documents reviewed in the accounting and tax work.
