What is considered real-time tracking?
Real-time tracking refers to the continuous monitoring and reporting of the location and status of an object or entity during its journey or delivery. It involves providing up-to-the-minute information to users regarding the real-time progress, position, and estimated arrival time of a parcel or shipment. Unlike conventional parcel tracking, which only logs scan events, real-time tracking offers live updates in short intervals, allowing consignees to receive timely and accurate information about their deliveries. This includes features such as adjusting estimated arrival time windows, displaying the truck's position on a map, and indicating the number of remaining stops until the parcel reaches its destination.
