We receive many different statuses from carriers in different languages. We have normalized and matched hundreds of different statuses to a status in one of seven main status categories.
If you are generating reports in nShift Track, you can still see the original status from the carrier in your reports, but the normalized categories make it easier for you to get an overview of delivered shipments, shipments in progress, etc.
The normalized status names will be used on the branded tracking page. On the default shipment viewer page, you can toggle between the carrier and normalized status names.
Here is an overview of the categories and the statuses belonging to each category. The numbers next to each name are the IDs returned when using the Shipment Data API:
