Parcel Tracker uses Computer Vision and Optical Character Recognition to bring a super fast and automatic way of dealing with parcels. Logging a parcel in the system is as easy as pointing the device to the label of the parcel: the tenant name and barcode will be detected instantaneously and the tenant notified automatically. For collection, we support QR code notifications that can be scanned to identify the tenant, and we take a signature as a proof of collection. All the data is synchronised on our servers for backup, and kept on the device for offline use.
