What is the benefit of tracking?
The term track & trace describes a system that can be used to check the status of a shipment. The transport route can also be traced.
k>outs uses track & trace to track all shipments. You can check when your goods were picked up, where they are now and when they are expected to be delivered. With shipment tracking, you as a customer have the certainty of knowing where your shipment is and when it will arrive.
Tracking also allows us, as a freight forwarder, to monitor a shipment. As the contractor, we know when the package is at which location and can schedule the transports accordingly.
How does k>outs track my packages for the track and trace?
In order to track a shipment, each package must have a barcode. A barcode is a machine-readable label consisting of parallel bars and gaps of varying widths. The data is read by machine at the interfaces using reading devices such as barcode readers (scanners) and processed electronically.
After placing an order at k>outs, you will receive a barcode label that you can print and stick on your packages. The barcode is used for unique identification of the package and enables location tracking at any time.
