What Is Internal Package Tracking

What Is Internal Package Tracking?

Internal package tracking is a type of technology that allows businesses of all sizes to carry out an errorfree chain of custody when incoming mail arrives and these need to be redistributed to varied subdivisions within the said organization.

How Internal Package Tracking Works From the single point of exchange when the mail carrier arrives, the chain of custody can be automatically set up with an item tracking system from WINN Solutions.

The process works in a sequence of three easy steps. First, when a large carrier such as USPS, FEDEX, or UPS drops off a package or letter, for instance, a unique barcode is scanned and affixed to the exterior. Next, when the parcel is conveyed to someone else, another scan is completed in order to not break up the chain of custody. The second step is repeated until the package reaches its final destination within the organization. Finally, all records of the exchanges are kept on file for tracking and accountability purposes.

The Benefits of Receiving Package Tracking Systems Business owners who leverage these types of technologies benefit from less human errors and misplaced packages. Moreover, productivity levels soar as less time is spent handling high volumes of internal mail on a daily basis.

These systems are also very simple to use – even for workers who are less inclined to use technology. All employees need to do is swipe the scanner where the barcode is placed.

Who Needs Internal Package Tracking Systems?

In a new research study organized by the Data Capture Institute, most companies receive approximately 500 incoming mail pieces per week. Many of these packages enclose important documents, including payment forms, contracts, and valuable assets. When these packages become lost or misplaced, everyone loses. Internal package tracking systems ultimately mitigate these losses by keeping track of package exchanges within enterprises.
