About This Automation

Tracking and proof of delivery in cold chain logistics requires manual carrier portal checks, driver communication, and file management across multiple systems. This fragmented approach creates delays, lost documentation, and slow dispute resolution.

Automation pulls real-time tracking data from carrier APIs and collects proof of delivery automatically from drivers. Orders update instantly, customers receive notifications with proof attached, and disputes resolve in seconds instead of hours.

Key features
Monitor carrier tracking data in real time across all active shipments
Request and collect proof of delivery photos and signatures automatically
Store all proof files in a centralized archive with consistent naming
Update order status and notify customers without manual intervention
Retrieve proof instantly when customers dispute delivery claims
Flag delivery exceptions such as delays or failed attempts

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Order marked as shippedtrigger

Automation is triggered when an order status changes to shipped. The order ID and carrier information are passed to the workflow.

2. Fetch tracking data from carrier

The automation queries the carrier API (FedEx, UPS, DHL) using the tracking number to retrieve real-time location and status updates.

3. Log tracking to order system

Tracking number and current status are automatically written order record, replacing manual entry.

4. Request proof via SMS

An automated SMS is sent to the driver requesting a photo or signature confirmation. The message includes a unique link or reply code.

5. Capture and store proof

When the driver replies with a photo or signature, the automation downloads and stores it in a centralized, timestamped folder linked to the order.

6. Update delivery status

Once proof is received and carrier confirms delivery, the order status is automatically set to delivered with proof attached.

7. Notify customer and team

An automated email is sent to the customer with tracking link and proof of delivery. A notification alerts the fulfillment team that the shipment is complete.
