What is a track and trace system?

Shipment tracking is a modern system with which the status of a shipment can be monitored and checked both before and after delivery. This technology is used primarily for the tracking of cargo. Shipment tracking with the track and trace system also makes it easier to monitor and improve shipping operations and facilitates the processing of investigation requests if a shipment fails to be delivered. Modern systems, such as the transport management system (TMS), offer such solutions as standard.
