📦 What is real-time parcel tracking?
Visit real-time parcel tracking consists in visualizing the current position of your parcel using a tracking tool connected to the logistics systems of carriers (UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc.). Unlike conventional updates, which only provide step-by-step information (e.g. "parcel shipped", "parcel in transit"), real-time tracking can display :
- The approximate GPS position of the package
- Estimated time of delivery
- Any delays or incidents
- Name of delivery company or relay point
This service is often accessible directly from the carrier's website or app, or via platforms like ours that centralize information from several partners.
🚚 How does the tracking system work?
Real-time tracking is based on several technologies:
- Scans at transit points At each stage of the journey (depot, sorting center, loading, etc.), the parcel is scanned and registered in the system.
- Vehicle geolocation : Carriers use GPS-equipped vehicles. When a package is on board, its position is synchronized with that of the vehicle.
- Automatic updates : Through APIs, status updates are made automatically on platforms accessible to customers.
