New Parcel Statuses for more detailed insights on your deliveries
Introducing new Parcel Status indicators; Expired, Inactive and Return for more profound insights on your deliveries!
In addition to our existing parcel status like Pending, Active, Delivered and Issue…. we have added a few new powerful ones - see all of them in the screenshot above.
Here’s what they mean:
Expired: Pending parcels without any new tracking updates from your carrier for the last 10 days. Check with your carrier for updates. If you don't see recent updates from your carrier in your Perform.AI account, please contact our support team for help.
Inactive: Parcels that aren’t delivered yet, but aren’t updated for the past 14 days are classified as Inactive. Investigate these with your carriers.
Return: These are parcels that either have been returned or are being returned to the sender.
A whole new, powerful view on Issue parcels
We’ve expanded our Issue parcel status to be more valuable to you!
We understand that parcel issues need quick resolution. Whether it's a hold up at customs during cross-border shipments or external delays, delivery issues happen.
However, you can turn these situations around.
To help you identify and prioritize issue parcels for close monitoring, your Parcel Overview now has a new Issue Status column. The indicator turns red when a parcel is having an issue right now and grey when a parcel has had an issue before but is now resolved.
If you handle logistics reporting, segregate issue parcels for this month to bring to your logistics carrier’s attention. Use this with our Tags feature to classify your shipments or add related information!
Our users can now also filter search results by Issue Status - looking at current or past occurrences - and get an in-depth look at all exact Issue Type, all within the parcel overview.
Understanding the challenges your customers and carriers are facing is now much easier to spot. Here are some common scenarios you can now easily view and assess:
A delivery is held up at customs during a cross-border shipment.
Your carrier previously lost a shipment and has since taken steps to replace the items delivered. Monitor this shipment to ensure there are no further problems.
A recipient has rejected the shipment or is not at home to collect the delivery.

Search filters are now more prominent above the search bar. We’ve also re-arranged elements for an even more intuitive search experience.
