What Is Package Tracking Software?

Package tracking software is a system used by organizations to receive, log, track, and deliver inbound packages from the moment they arrive to the moment they reach the recipient. It provides organizations a reliable way to reduce lost packages and maintain accountability for every delivery.

Package tracking software is designed for teams that manage inbound deliveries and need clear visibility into where packages are at every stage. By tracking packages from arrival through final delivery, it ensures each item reaches the correct recipient.

How Is It Different from Carrier Tracking?

Carrier tracking and package tracking software solve two different problems.

Carrier Tracking
UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc.

Tracks packages in transit

Carrier tracking shows where a package is from the time it is shipped until it arrives at your facility. Once a carrier marks a package as delivered, their visibility ends.

Package Arrives

The package enters the system and a record is created.

  • The package is logged into the system
  • A record is created identifying when it arrived
  • The package is staged in a designated location

Package Awaits Pickup or Delivery

The package is held and staff maintain full visibility of what is waiting.

  • The package awaits pickup or delivery
  • Recipients are optionally notified that their package has arrived
  • Staff can see at any time which packages are waiting and their status

Package Reaches the Recipient

The package is handed off and the delivery is confirmed.
