You can let your customers track the status of their delivery / collection via a tracking widget.

This tracking widget can be embedded into your website.

You can refer to the screenshot below to see what the tracking widget will look like.

HOW TO GET STARTED

In your admin dashboard:

  1. Navigate to Settings > Job > Tracking Widget.

  2. Under the Tracking Widget tab, you will find your personal Tracking Widget code which is available for you to copy and paste into your website. Alternatively, you can send your customers the direct link to your tracking widget without installing it on your website.


SETTINGS FOR YOUR TRACKING WIDGET


You may choose to use delivery order no. (D.O. No.) as your tracking number or a custom tracking no. (Tracking No.) by selecting from the Tracking Field drop-down box. If you select Tracking No., you have to enter a separate tracking no. in the Add delivery or Add Collection form or via a “Tracking No.” column in your CSV or Excel import file.

Contact No. This contact no. is the customer service contact no. for delivery/collection inquiries.

Support email This email address is the customer support email address for delivery/collection inquiries.

To change the name of the customer service contact, go to Settings > Organization > General tab > Organization Name field.

Job to be completed by When you select the number of days required to complete the job, our system will auto-calculate the job completed by date and display it to the customer. The number of days required is usually reflective of your SLA to your vendors or customers. If all your jobs are completed within the same day, simply select on start date (same day). If this field is entered, your customers will be able to see the expected date of delivery or collection assigned. This will help in reducing your customer service support.

Start date is the day that the job is imported into the system. To change this start date, go to Update Delivery or Update Collection form and change the date under the field start date.

Non-working days You can specify the non-working days if any, in order to allow our system to accurately calculate the expected date of delivery from the start date. You can specify which days of the week that your business is not in operation, e.g. on weekends (Sat and Sun). This field of non-working days only applies to standard days of the week where no delivery or collection will be done.

Our Tracking Widget is a combination of HTML (to display the button) and JavaScript (to open the window) code and can be inserted into any website. You may require the assistance of your webmaster to place our Tracking Widget button on your website as you will need to edit HTML codes. Alternatively, you can always send your customers the direct Tracking Widget link.

Tip: you can change the image of the Tracking Widget button to your own by changing the src property of the HTML input button to point to your image file.
