What it does

Upload a CSV of shipment tracking numbers. Get back a clean file with: carrier identified, tracking number stripped of stray characters, and a direct tracking URL added so your team can click through in one step.

The problem it solves

Tracking numbers come in from carriers, 3PLs, suppliers, and customers in dozens of formats. Some have spaces, some have dashes, some have a carrier prefix already embedded. Manually identifying which number belongs to which carrier and cleaning the format wastes time and causes lookup errors.

What it handles automatically

  • Carrier detection — Identifies UPS, USPS, FedEx, DHL, and Amazon Logistics from the number format
  • Format normalization — Strips spaces, dashes, and common prefixes leaving a clean bare tracking number
  • Tracking URL generation — Adds a clickable tracking link for each row
  • Confidence scoring — Flags numbers that couldn't be positively identified so you can review them

FAQ

Does it actually check tracking status? No — it normalizes and identifies the format only. No API calls are made. Tracking status requires the carrier's API.

What if the carrier detection is wrong? The tool shows confidence scores. Low-confidence rows are flagged so you can manually assign the carrier.

Does it store my data? No. All processing is in your browser.
