Introduction
In the busy world we live in today, logistics and courier services drive modern commerce. It doesn’t matter if it’s an individual sending a personal package, an eCommerce brand fulfilling hundreds of orders a day, or an enterprise shipping pallets of goods to cities, real-time tracking is a must. Customers want to see exactly where their deliveries are, and businesses recognize transparency is a method to build trust.
DTDC (Desk to Desk Courier and Cargo) has consistently been one of the leading courier providers in India since its establishment. The DTDC tracking system is one of the most widely used systems for millions of customers in India and outside of India for tracking shipments.
However, in 2025, customer expectations have changed. Just providing standard tracking for deliveries via courier is not enough. Businesses and customers are looking for seamless AI-enabled multi-courier tracking and delivery solutions with accurate ETAs, proactive notifications and seamless access in multiple channels.
This is where Dispatch Solutions comes in. We can offer customers an enhanced tracking experience on a reputable provider, DTDC by combining the trusted provider, DTDC, with our robust technology. This guide to DTDC tracking does everything and will explore how DTDC tracking works, the benefits and drawbacks, and why Dispatch solutions integration provides a new way to manage and track shipments for 2025.
What is DTDC Tracking?
DTDC tracking is an electronic tool through which customers can track their shipment(s) in real-time using a tracking number (consignment number) or reference ID provided to them at the time of booking. Each shipment booked with DTDC is assigned a number that is unique to the consignment, which can be used online, through the mobile app or via SMS service to obtain the current status.
Key Features of DTDC Tracking
- Each shipment bears a distinctive consignment number.
- Real-time status update on current shipments location.
- Delivery status is updated once a shipment is delivered or confirmed delivered.
- Multiple channels for customer access – customers can track through website, app or SMS.
Tracking in India & Worldwide – Provide tracking for all shipments inside India as well as those delivered internationally.
How Does DTDC Tracking Work?
The DTDC way of tracking has a simple process and is done in the following order:
Booking the Shipment
A parcel is booked through DTDC, a consignment number is generated.
Pickup & Scanning
The parcel is picked up and scanned at the origin facility.
Transit Journey
The shipment moves to many hubs and the system continues to be updated on scans throughout its journey.
Out for Delivery
The final hub has given the parcel out to a delivery agent.
Delivery Confirmation
Once the parcel has been delivered, the system will let everyone know and will indicate that the process has been completed and every one is satisfied.
Why DTDC Tracking is Important in 2025
- Transparency for Customers – Customers expect clear visibility of their parcels.
- Less Stress – Real-time tracking eliminates the uncertainty of waiting.
- Business Trust – Tracking creates confidence in sellers and service providers.
- Proof of Delivery – Makes it easier to avoid disputes between businesses and customers.
- Operational Efficiency – Reduces the number of inquiries about “where is my order?”
Limitations of DTDC Tracking
- Though DTDC tracking is decent, it has some constraints in today’s competitive environment:
- Courier-specific – It only works for DTDC shipments.
- Generic ETAs – Delivery timelines are not always reliable.
- Limited branding – Tracking is always DTDC branded, never designed for your business.
- Inaccurate tracking events – there will be delays in the update communications because of backend scanning delay.
This is where Dispatch Solutions can help with the process.
