Firms can save operating expenses and improve customer satisfaction by managing their logistics well. Delivering goods and services to customers with the highest standards while reducing operating costs is the aim of the logistics management philosophy. As a result, logistics management is a crucial component of the supply chain process, which also includes other tasks including organizing, directing, planning, storing, communicating, and providing support. Web applications tracking allow easy access to goods and services over the internet. It allows for easy detection of the state, location of goods and services at any given instance. This web application gives the users easy accessisibility to the platform. The logistics web application for the tracking of parcels was developed using Angular Js, Node and Express Js, and MongoDB. Hosted on Heroku. The aim of the project which is to meet the demands of the users while offering real-time visibility, efficient route optimization, as well as the overall streaming of the supply chain process was achieved. With this application, users can finally be able to know the current and real time location of their packages so long as they have access to the internet.
