Package tracking technology
Package tracking technology uses a combination of barcode scanning, GPS, and electronic data systems to monitor a package's journey from sender to recipient. When a package is shipped, it receives a barcode or tracking number which is scanned at various points along its route. GPS devices in delivery vehicles and sensors at sorting facilities update the package's location in real-time. This information is stored in a centralized system accessible via websites or apps, allowing customers and carriers to see current status, estimated delivery times, and location details. This integration ensures transparency, efficiency, and accurate delivery management.
