Shipping tracking that stops "where is my order" emails

Shipping is the part of the order where customer anxiety peaks and your inbox fills up. Most distributors handle "where is my order" emails one at a time, by hand, looking up each tracking number on a UPS or FedEx page. There is a better way and the customer prefers it.

The carrier auto-detect

Paste any tracking number anywhere in the order. We detect the carrier (UPS, FedEx, USPS, DHL) from the format and start polling status updates automatically. The customer's portal shows live status: in transit, out for delivery, delivered. They get an email when it ships and another when it delivers.

Multiple shipments per order are supported (split shipments, samples, replacements). Each has its own carrier, tracking number, and status track.

What the customer sees

Their order page in the portal renders a timeline of every status change with timestamps. They click a tracking number and the carrier's page opens with their shipment loaded. Most of them never email you to ask.

What you see

A dashboard view of every in-flight shipment with the current status. Anything stuck in transit for more than five days bubbles to the top so you can call the carrier before the customer does. Delivery confirmation events fire a Delivered email automatically (with an opt-out per customer). Survey emails go out three days after delivery to capture quality feedback.

A customer who can see their tracking does not email you. A distributor who sees stuck shipments early calls the carrier before the customer does. Both sides win.
