“This partnership provides an edge to our SME clients over their competitions, who are not equipped with this automated tracking capabilities,” said Pramod Bhat, CEO of Stallion Express. “It works across all our carrier partners such as Canada Post, USPS and UPS, as we have full data integration with AfterShip.”

Tracking is streamlined for both merchants and shoppers in time for the holiday shopping season. Previously, shoppers are sent a Shipment ID, a tracking number from the carrier and a third number for the last mile delivery. Now, tracking is made easy with one tracking number, one dedicated tracking website and a free AfterShip app available on iOS and Android.
