This Courier Management Script is a simple web application that was developed in PHP and MySQLi databases. The codes are easy to understand, and the project will help a courier company to manage their customers’ parcels, shipment, and package details.
The courier shipment script helps to store all the branches or the company that can be used when setting the destination where the recipient will pick up their shipment or parcels.
In this courier management script, there is a tracking feature that can be used to monitor the movement of every customer’s parcel/shipment.
There are different types of users in this script; the Administrator, the User, and the Branch Staff user.
The admin can totally manage all the data and information in the script, this includes managing the branches and branches staff user.
The Branch user is allowed to only track a shipment and manage the list of shipments where the origin or the destination of a shipment is under the logged-in staff branch.
The couriered items have multiple statuses which are “Item Accepted by Courier”, “Arrived At Destination”, “Collected”, “Shipped”, “In-Transit”, “Out for Delivery”, “Picked-up”, “Ready to Pickup”, “Delivered”, and “Unsuccessful Delivery Attempt”.
These statuses help to determine the destination and movement of the shipment. The courier shipment script also helps generate reports between two dates and selected status. The couriered items of the clients can be set into “Pickup” and “Deliver”.
The shipments that are marked as “Deliver” are the items that are to be delivered directly to the receiver while the “Pickup” will be delivered to the company’s branch near the receiver address.
The courier system staff or admin user can save or add multiple items at the same time but these items will be saved in the database separately, each shipment package has a different tracking number or reference number
For example, if a client has 3 boxes of the shipment packages to be shipped to the same receiver/recipient, the courier system user can submit the shipment registration to the script at once but will be saved separately so that the script will generate a unique reference code in each item so that they can track each shipment.
