The problem on a busy delivery day
A single order is one email and one tracking link. A good release week is thirty orders from five retailers with four couriers, all sending their own emails in their own style, to more than one inbox.
The usual answer is a spreadsheet of tracking numbers and a row of browser tabs. It works until the day you most need it, when you are checking each number by hand and still cannot answer the simple question: what is arriving tomorrow, and what has gone quiet?
The parcels that cost you money are the ones nobody was watching. One held at a depot for an address query, one returned to sender after a missed delivery, one marked delivered that never turned up. Each has a deadline for doing something about it, and you only meet it if you notice in time.
What good bulk parcel tracking looks like
Whatever you use, a tracker that copes with volume has a few things in common.
- One row per parcel, whichever courier has it, with the status in plain words.
- A label on each parcel so you know what is inside without opening the order email.
- A way to sort by status, so problems and today's deliveries float to the top.
- Groups, so one release or one buyer's orders sit together.
- A message when a parcel changes status, so you are not the one doing the checking.
- A record you can export when you need to chase a claim or do your books.
