Automatically assigned to each parcel upon receipt by courier. Sorting operators, couriers use them to determine the location in the warehouse, making delivery to the specified address more comfortable. Alphanumeric and numeric codes are instantly read by special equipment, making it possible to automate the operation of the postal service fully. The courier, while sending the consignment to the recipient, offers him to sign in opposite the parcel code on the form to confirm the time of receipt.

While processing and sending the parcel, each client receives a unique form with the tracking number indicated in it. It is entered into the registry automatically when the operator completes the form on the computer. The recipient can find out the tracking number from the sender to monitor the movement of the package along the route. This makes it possible to understand how soon the thing ordered in the online store will arrive. All courier delivery services use tracking numbers in their work to ensure the transparency of work and improve the quality of service.
