What does 'Shipment Tracking' mean?

Shipment Tracking is a core feature of shipping software that enables businesses and customers to monitor the real-time status and location of shipments throughout the delivery process. It provides end-to-end visibility by integrating with carrier systems to update tracking details, estimated delivery times, and transit checkpoints. This feature enhances transparency, reduces the risk of lost shipments, and improves customer satisfaction by offering automated notifications and status updates via email or SMS. Shipment tracking also helps businesses optimize logistics operations, manage delays effectively, and ensure on-time deliveries by providing actionable insights into carrier performance and shipment movements.
