As we move into Autumn (Fall for our friends in the United States), our October release sees updates to customer tracking IDs, order management and order search, as well changes to the mobile App for drivers and in our route planning module.

Tracking ID

We’ve responded to the changes from channels such as eBay and Amazon’s updated ‘ship confirm’ requirements which require a shipping service provider and tracking ID during the ship confirm process of seller-fulfilled orders.

Stream’s new tracking ID will be available at order level and is scheduled for release on 23rd October 2021.

As part of this release, we’ll be able to provide subscribers with a “widget”, which can be added to their website. Your customers can then use the widget to search for their order and access the Stream tracking screen. By using the widget as a Stream subscriber you can ensure your customers or consumers are directed to your own site.
