Track and Trace
ESSENTIAL |
Integrating Track and Trace with your ERP system allows your customers to track shipments and get detailed information about them from one single tracking page, regardless of carrier.
Your customers access the tracking page through a URL that you provide, for example, in an SMS or an email.
You don't need the carriers’ shipment and parcel numbers since you use your own order number or reference as search parameters.
After a shipment has been created, that is, has been assigned a shipment and/or parcel number, it's immediately trackable on your tracking page.
Example:
Note
Track and Trace works best for carriers (incl. neutral carriers) and services that offer status and event reporting.
Status availability may therefore vary but often include statuses such as "Registered", "Out for delivery" and "Delivered".
Tip
Branded Track and Trace allows you to add your company logo or other images to your tracking page, and also add links from these images.
