What is Swift Transport Tracking?

Swift Transport Tracking refers to the Track and Trace facility available through our tracking tool, providing shipment status updates across all service tiers, from express courier to heavy freight. This visibility is especially important in Southern Africa to confirm when goods reach local depots or are delivered to recipients. By entering a Tracking Number in our tracking tool, users can see whether a shipment is in transit, being processed at the Ardbennie (Harare) hub, or ready for collection at a depot.
