In this article, we'll explain how to utilize the cargo tracking option effectively.

Once cargo is added, the system will generate a "Tracking code," visible in the PNR:
Only after ticketing the PNR, it will be possible to print the Airway Bill from the icon:
For cargo tracking, a new sub-module 'Cargo Status type' has been introduced. Here, you'll create different statuses for the cargo process and specify the status level. The status level determines the order of the process, with the first step being 1, the second step being 2, and so on.
Once statuses are created, you can utilise 'Cargo Status Control' to automatically read with a barcode and update cargo status:
Select the relevant status and use your barcode reader or manually input the tracking code to update the status in the system:
Additionally, you can add remarks for specific packages/cargo if necessary in the remark field. In case of any errors, the system will display relevant alerts:
This information can also be monitored, tracked, or manually updated under the Cargo Status Tracking sub-module:
Your customers can track the progress via your website. Simply add a content page on your IBE with the following code:
{{trackingpage}}
This will show the following form:
Once the tracking code is inserted, all relevant information will be presented to the customer:
