Customer expectations in regards to the ability to trace deliveries has never been higher.
With new technologies making it easy for us to track personal items, consumers expect the same convenience and ease of tracking when it comes to goods and services they’ve purchased.
How are goods tracked?
Generally, businesses will use a transit label to enable package tracing.
Transit labels include details such as addresses, names, weight, and a unique barcode.
By scanning the barcode along the various delivery points, allows for a chain of custody to be created and an item's whereabouts to be traced.
