Abstract


ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF REAL TIME PARCEL TRACKING AND MONITORING SYSTEM


The ability to track packages in real time is essential for manufacturers and customers alike. Tracking abilities for customer products and goods began as a way to provide accurate and timely information regarding the expected time of delivery. This study focused on the computing model for real-time parcel tracking and monitoring. It was designed to solve the problem in the tracking system in Nigeria. The real-time parcel tracking and monitoring application is an automated application intended to be accessible online. This allows the application to be available to both mobile phone and pc users who can access the information online. The methodology used was the object oriented technique (OOT). The system produced in this research work has functions that will enable both the receiver and sender of various packages to track and monitor their packages with ease from the comfort of their homes, offices and market using a web enabled device. The developed application was tested using xampp application suite and was tested in Mozilla firefox. The test results show that the application works as expected.
