Track
your APL shipments using the most convenient tracking numbers available -- your
own.
APL now makes it easy to track your shipments by your own “shipment reference”
which is any combination of letters, words or numbers that identifies your shipment.
Examples include:
Purchase order number
Invoice number
Warehouse or store code
Letter of Credit number
Third-party reference number
A shipment reference can also be words that describe details about your shipment:
Urgent
From ABC Consignee
To Warehouse #7
Benefits to You
Gain added flexibility and convenience when monitoring your global supply chain:
You no longer have to remember specific bill of lading or container numbers;
instead track by references that are meaningful to your business -- and to your
customers.
Integrate APL shipment details with your existing document and billing systems.
Allow your trading partners (such as truckers, brokers and forwarding agents)
to track only the shipments you want them to.
