DeCAya

DeCA software for road freight transport

From 5 October 2026, the control document for the affected domestic transport in Spain must be generated digitally as a DeCA. That makes software the central piece of compliance: almost every technical requirement of the Resolución de 5 de junio de 2026 (the technical resolution published in the BOE) depends on the tool that generates the document.

Here is what a DeCA tool must cover as a minimum, and how DeCAya approaches each requirement.

What compliant DeCA software must do

  • Generate a native digital PDF from structured data: no scans or images, with a maximum size of 5 MB.
  • Embed a QR code in the PDF with a web address unique to that document.
  • Serve that URL over HTTPS with TLS 1.2 or higher, allowing inspection officers to download the PDF directly for the whole service.
  • Allow the document to be created before the service effectively starts, recording the date and time of creation and of every modification.
  • Handle modifications with traceability: mark previous data as invalid in the same PDF, or generate a new PDF while preserving the original.
  • Keep the generated files for at least one year.
  • Capture all the Article 6 data of Orden FOM/2861/2012: shipper, carrier, origin, destination, goods, date and vehicle plates.

Generation in seconds

DeCAya offers a guided form with the Article 6 data and immediate generation of the native PDF with the QR code embedded. No Word templates, no scans.

Reusable clients and vehicles

Shippers, carriers, vehicles and trailers are saved once and reused: your second DeCA is created by selecting and adjusting, not retyping.

Automatic QR and inspection URL

Every document receives its unique web address served over HTTPS, with direct PDF download available for inspection during the whole transport service.

Sharing with the driver

Share the document with the driver electronically or print it with the QR code: both options are valid, because what the regulation requires is that the generation be digital.

History and retention

All documents remain in your history, covering the minimum one-year retention required by the resolution.

Traceable modifications

If the vehicle or any other data changes during the service, DeCAya records the date and time of the change and keeps the original version, exactly as the regulation requires.

Multi-company and API

Agencies and groups can manage several companies from a single account, and the API lets you integrate DeCA generation with your ERP or TMS.

Try it before the deadline

The best way to evaluate DeCA software is to generate a real document. DeCAya is designed around the technical requirements published in the BOE and launches ahead of the 5 October 2026 deadline. Run your tests early so your first inspected DeCA is not your first DeCA.
