Tracking Number

A unique identifier assigned to a shipment that allows it to be located throughout transit.

Tracking numbers are issued by carriers and tied to status events such as pickup, in transit, out for delivery, and delivered. They are the foundation of shipment visibility for shippers, consignees, and customer-service teams.
