The Challenge

  • Limited Control & Data: The client relied on a third-party provider for tracking services, which resulted in fragmented data across multiple carriers. This lack of centralized visibility caused inefficiencies, operational delays, and reduced customer satisfaction.
  • Delayed Updates & Inefficiencies: The existing tracking system suffered from update lags, affecting the accuracy of shipment statuses and preventing real-time decision-making for both the client and its eCommerce customers.
  • Information Security: Data security was a major concern due to previous vendor-related breaches, necessitating a more secure and reliable solution from a professional IT provider.
  • Time-Sensitive Implementation: With the peak logistics season approaching, the client needed a streamlined, easily integrable system to onboard new customers efficiently and meet increasing demand.

The Solution

SmartDev developed a mobile-responsive Track & Trace portal to centralize and automate shipment tracking, ensuring seamless visibility and real-time updates​

  • Customs Clearance Status: Integrated via SFTP or API, providing up-to-date tracking on clearance processes.​
  • Local Carrier Tracking: Captures plain label delivery status from regional providers (PFL, D2Z, HEY) with proof of delivery (POD) images.​
  • Major Carrier Integration: Streamlines tracking from Australia Post, Couriers Please, and Aramex via Starshipit API, delivering a unified, real-time tracking experience.​
