Effective shipment tracking tools in 2023

I’ve been looking into new tools for shipment tracking that really enhance customer communication. Recently, we switched to a system that updates clients in real-time, which has cut down on call volume significantly. Has anyone else found success with specific platforms or features that improve transparency in this area?

I’ve found that integrating GPS tracking directly into our shipment management system really boosts transparency; it’s taken a bit of time to set up, but our clients appreciate the real-time updates. What specific features did you find most beneficial in your new system?

I hear you on the real-time updates — those have made a huge difference for us too… We also implemented a tracking portal for customers, which allows them to get updates without needing to call. It’s reduced our response times significantly.
