Shipment tracking enters the logistics process the moment a consignment leaves the warehouse: barcodes, QR codes, or RFID tags on each shipping unit feed status data to a web portal or API accessible by the shipper, consignee, and freight forwarder. Standard tracking events include pickup confirmation, transit hub scans, customs clearance, and delivery attempts. Real-time visibility shortens response times when exceptions such as delays or damage occur and forms the basis for automated customer notifications. End-to-end tracking differs from a single carrier's parcel status page in that it aggregates data across multiple service providers into one unified view, providing full coverage of multimodal supply chains.
