Using QR codes for parcel tracking

If you came here for parcel tracking, QR Code Status Tracker is the easiest path when your parcel manifest already lives in Google Sheets™ and you need clear status and customer progress updates.

Preferred path for parcel tracking: use QR Code Status Tracker. It sets up Trak for you, so you can start from the spreadsheet you already use: each spreadsheet row can represent a parcel or package moving through named statuses, with scan history and customer updates. Read the user manual.

Use a custom Trak setup when parcel tracking needs assignment, GPS, signatures, proof of delivery, structured forms, dynamic locations, or integrations.

  • Google Sheets™: best when you already have a parcel manifest or delivery list; start with Status Tracker. The Google Sheets™ add-on docs remain available for other sheet-based workflows.
  • Google Forms: useful when pickup or dispatch records start from a form; see the Google Forms add-on docs.
  • Custom Trak setup: best for assignment, delivery evidence, and connected workflows.
