how do package trackers for UPS & Amazon work?
In: Technology
Each package is assigned a number, which is why you get a tracking number you can use to see where it was last seen.
That number is entered into a computer database. When the package is loaded onto or off of a truck/plane that number is scanned and tagged with the time and location where it was scanned.
The computer makes a best guess on when the package will arrive based on all of the scheduled travel between the package’s origin and destination.
