DIVIS TIP OF THE MONTH
Practical tips for researching consignments in ParcelVIS & CargoVIS
Search for shipment numbers with wildcard (placeholder)
You are looking for a consignment, but you only know a few digits of the shipment number. CargoVIS and ParcelVIS, our powerful software for researching shipments in transshipment centres or packages in the parcel depot, can also provide results in this case. Simply include a wildcard (placeholder) in your search.
In principle, it doesn't matter how many parts of the number you know, the software will definitely help you find the shipment. However, the more digits that can be specified, the more precise the filtering of the results will be.
Today we will show you how this works and which options are available for the wildcard search.
