Integrating Track and Trace with your ERP system allows your customers to track shipments and get detailed information about them from your branded tracking page, regardless of carrier.
Your customers access the tracking page through a URL that you provide, for example, in an SMS or using Branded email pre-notification.
You don't need the carriers’ shipment and parcel numbers since you use your own order number or reference as search parameters.
You brand your tracking page by creating templates. A template can contain, for example, your company logo, an offer or an ad, that will be displayed in the header and/or footer on the tracking page.
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.
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".
