Tasks and objectives

For our client, we have designed and implemented Rate API and Tracking API solutions, improving internal and external processes related to cooperation with business partners. In addition, we refreshed the graphic design of the client's website, which now presents the content in a convenient and modern way.

Tracking API allows to track parcels sent by APC Postal Logistics. Information about parcel’s status can be tracked directly from the website or via the Client's API. The API enables integration with many secondary systems, which additionally collect information about packages and merge them with each other.

1.5 million people per month check the status of their parcels using the Tracking API system.

Rate API is a system that is used to evaluate the cost of shipping international parcels. External systems, e.g. online stores, connect to the Customer's API and receive information about the shipping price, calculated on the basis of parameters specified by APC. Rate API currently supports about 100 thousand queries per month.

The systems are built on the proprietary Edito .NET Core platform and hosted in the Amazon cloud (AWS).

In the near future, it is planned integration of further carriers with the customer's systems.
