Receiving and Tracking

Receiving and tracking packages the traditional way involves managing an influx of shipments from different carriers at different times each day, manually capturing each package’s details and ensuring the correct package is delivered to the intended recipient. These labor-intensive steps often lead to misplaced or lost packages, frustrated recipients and avoidable data-entry errors. Today, modern organizations largely depend on real-time tracking. These on-premise and cloud-based software solutions track inbound packages from the moment a package is received until it’s delivered to the recipient.

An inbound package tracking system includes software that takes over the delivery process after a carrier drops a package off at an organization’s front desk or mail center. The system scans all the information from the package’s shipping label needed for final delivery and a chain-of-custody record. Inbound tracking systems eliminate the need for manual data entry and helps ensure packages aren’t misplaced or lost.

Nearly any organization that receives inbound packages or assets can benefit from the real-time tracking an inbound package system provides.
