The Kalpa Logistics tracking system works by combining shipment scanning, status updates, rider coordination, and customer notifications into one centralized logistics platform. A typical flow looks like this:
1. Order Creation
When a shipment is booked:
- A unique tracking ID is generated.
- Sender, receiver, address, COD amount, and parcel details are stored in the system.
- The shipment is assigned to a pickup or warehouse team.
Example:
- Tracking ID: KP10235
- Status: “Order Created”
2. Pickup Scanning
Once the rider picks up the parcel:
- The rider scans or updates the shipment through the app.
- Pickup date, time, and rider details are recorded.
- The system changes the status to:
- “Picked Up”
- “In Transit”
This creates shipment authenticity and transparency.
3. Warehouse Operations
At the warehouse:
- Parcels are scanned during:
- Receiving
- Sorting
- Dispatching
- The system records:
- Warehouse location
- Scan time
- Team handling activity
For example, the eExpress Lokanthali Warehouse team can sort shipments based on:
- Delivery route
- Hub destination
- Priority level
- COD/non-COD
4. Transit Tracking
During movement between hubs:
- Drivers or hub teams update the shipment status.
- GPS/rider assignment may be linked.
- Customers can see statuses like:
- “Arrived at Hub”
- “Dispatched to Pokhara”
- “Out for Delivery”
The system may also maintain:
- Timestamp logs
- Activity history
- Exception remarks
5. Delivery Attempt Management
If delivery fails:
- Riders add remarks such as:
- Customer unavailable
- Out of station
- Phone unreachable
- Rescheduled delivery
- Proof of delivery attempts can be stored.
- Redelivery can be automatically scheduled.
This helps customer support teams verify genuine delivery attempts.
6. Successful Delivery
After successful handover:
- Rider confirms delivery through the app.
- OTP, signature, or photo proof can be uploaded.
- COD collection is recorded.
- Final status becomes:
- “Delivered”
The system stores:
- Delivery time
- Receiver name
- Rider information
7. Customer & Admin Dashboard
The tracking system usually includes:
- Real-time tracking page
- Shipment history
- COD reports
- Rider performance
- Delivery analytics
- Complaint management
- API integration for marketplaces
For a logistics marketplace like eExpress or Kalpa Internet Ventures Pvt Ltd, the system can also integrate:
- Seller panels

- Route optimization
- AI-enabled customer replies
- WhatsApp/SMS notifications
