Digitalize your logistics processes (Shipment tracking)
20 - Aug - 2023
Shipment tracking is a process of monitoring and tracking shipments
online and arrival real-time status updates to customers. It helps customers
learn where exactly their shipment is, when they should expect it to arrive,
and whether there has been a delay.
Not only for the customer, but also for the business it is
important to know where a shipment is at the moment. This way they can trace exactly
the location of the shipment and can monitor the quality of the shipping service, so they can react to irregularities and optimize the shipping process.
What is a shipment tracking system?
The shipment tracking system is software that allows shipments
to be traced during their transit time. Shipments go through different hubs
during delivery, so the tracking system will accurately show the latest place a
shipment was registered in. This software is of great importance for
anticipating the shipment delivery date.
At “Origin” Customers receive an OP number with their
booking. This serves as a tracking number. Customers can thus check the
progress of the shipment at any time via Website, E-mail or WhatsApp
service. For customers who have a lot of shipments they receive directly a weekly
follow up report with overview of all shipping steps and the current shipment
status. Depending on the processing progress of the booking, the shipment
status is displayed as follows:
BOOKING
ORDERED / SHIPMENT IN PROCESS
BOOKING
CONFIRMED
PICKUP
DONE
SHIPMENT
DEPARTED
SHIPMENT
ARRIVED / SHIPMENT STORED
