The hidden leak

Without External Tracking Software, Tracking is a Problem

Customers often call or message to ask for shipment updates. Every time this happens, your dispatch team has to stop their work and manually check the vehicle location. This wastes time, slows operations, and leaves customers waiting for answers.

Status-call overload

Dispatchers spend hours answering shipment status questions instead of focusing on deliveries and operations.

Portals nobody uses

Most customers do not want to create an account or install an app just to track one shipment.

Customers in the dark

Without self-service tracking, customers have no easy way to check delivery progress on their own.

Looks unprofessional

Customers expect modern tracking. If parcel companies offer live tracking and you do not, your business can appear behind the competition.

What is external tracking?

External tracking allows you to share a live vehicle tracking link with customers, consignees, brokers, and other people outside your company. With Fleet Scanner, they can view live location, ETA, and shipment progress without logging in or installing an app.

Does the customer need an account or app?

No. There is no login, password, or app required. The customer simply taps the link and instantly sees the vehicle location, ETA, and delivery progress on any phone, tablet, or browser.

How is the tracking link shared?

You can send the link through WhatsApp, SMS, or email, share it with customers, consignees, or partners, copy and send it anywhere, or share it directly from the active trip screen.

Can I see if the customer opened the link?

Yes. Fleet Scanner shows how many times a tracking link has been viewed, so you know customers are receiving updates. You can also see active and expired links and resend with one click.

Do the links expire?

Yes. Tracking links expire automatically after delivery is complete, so the shipment information is only available while it is relevant.
