The List View
With Track & Trace you can track parcels based on various criteria and set filters to view certain types of shipments. It’s up to you if you want an overview of all incoming or outgoing shipments, or search for specific shipments. For example, you can search by shipment ID, your own order reference, or the name of the receiver. With each shipment comes detailed information about the shipment and its journey to the receiver.
In the search field you can search for unique shipment numbers or the order reference.
Change the date to view past shipments.
‘EDI’ are the shipments that have been registered, but not yet received at a terminal.
‘Outgoing’ are the shipments that PostNord has received from you and which are now on their way to your customers.
'At distribution Point' lists shipments located at a PostNord distribution terminal
‘At servicepoint’ lists the shipments that are ready to be picked up in parcel collection boxes or at agents.
Under ‘Delivered’ you’ll see all shipments that have been delivered to customers.
View the shipments that are on their way back as returns or because the maximum retention time has expired.
Search for parcels using your own filters
If you need to frequently search for shipments to a specific country, or parcels containing a specific product, for example PostNord Parcel, you can use the filters in the side menu, then create a template with your own filters and save it with a name of your choice. You can then reuse the filter again and again, as a unique view that shows you only what you want it to show. This way, you can work efficiently and proactively with your deliveries.

Here you can view height, width, length and weight of the tracked parcel. You can see the estimated delivery time, and once the parcel has been delivered you’ll see the actual delivery time.
Even ordered add-on services such as home delivery and notification to the receiver can be viewed here, making it easy to offer loyal customers the same service even if you book a shipment manually.
Event log
On the right hand side you'll see a chronological list of shipment events. These include changes made and notifications sent to the recipient. You can apply filters to se eonly the type of event you're interested in viewing.
Customer service & notes
If anything is unclear about a shipment, you can easily reach out to PostNord customer service via the details view. Click the Customer service tab above the event log to open a message box. You can type in your query here, and track the issue in this view or via the Customer Service module in the left menu. You can also upload photos or files needed for your customer service issue.
The next tab above the event log is for your team's internal use. If one teammate has information for another teammate that they want to save as part of the shipment, they can easily just type in a note. For example, if action has been taken outside the Track & Trace tool, or an issue has been resolved over email or phone.
Actions and changes
When you click on ACTIONS for a specific shipment you’ll see a number of actions you can take, for example to notify the receiver. Exactly what you can do depends on the service used and where the shipment is in the transport process. You can create a claim, inform the receiver by SMS or e-mail, ask for the return of the parcel or contact customer support.
