What is Spoton logistics and parcel delivery?
Spoton Logistics was founded after a private company bought out TNT India in 2012. At this stage, Spoton Logistics only really continued the services that TNT offered. Therefore, it was not until 2018, when Spoton further expanded its services due to the attraction of numerous new investors, that it began to be known as the large-scale logistics solutions company we know today.
Now, Spoton logistics is among the leading courier and parcel delivery services in India, employing over 1600 people and having more than 250 offices strategically located throughout the country.
Interestingly, Spoton took the route of an asset-light business framework whereby it leases its warehouses and vehicles in order to use investment in technology and operations. This means it has some advantages within the logistics sector, including financial flexibility and rapid service development, particularly regarding serving business logistics needs.
Spoton's main competitors include India EMS, DHL and FedEx, the latter of which both have Indian logistics arms in the country.
What services does Spoton logistics provide?
Spoton Logistics offers a number of services since it really began to develop its services in 2018 to become one of the biggest logistics companies in India. Today it offers a range of services, including rapid parcel delivery by road and air. Due to it being run asset-light, it has also put significant investment into technology, including its interface, account management, and general operations as well as a 24-hour customer service contact center and one-to-one customer service consultants for special business accounts.
Spoton Logistics is now a household name in India and serves some 22,000 pin codes domestically, making it a popular option for Indians wanting to send mail to friends and family within the country. However, the service is also often used by businesses, to solve logistics within a variety of industries, including automotive, pharma, engineering, tech, electronics and lifestyle, and retail, among others.
The company also boasts 13 major depots and 35 transit hubs within its native country which is attributes speedy and safe forwarding of packages and parcels too. The parcel delivery service also has online tracking tools which have been developed in-house.
Spoton Logistics operates in some 300 locations across India and delivers via its 38 service centers and a fleet of vehicles amount to more than 1,000 nationwide.
How do I track a package sent with Spoton Logistics?
Despite being well known and having a good reputation within India, many people still do not know how to effectively track their Spoton parcel. Tracking a Spoton parcel can be done through the Spoton website, by heading to their home page and finding the tracking option. This service will enable you to track your parcel's location and current status and is used predominantly by individuals wanting to track a single parcel domestically.
All packages shipped through Spoton are registered, and therefore will have a reference number, also known as Spoton consignment tracking ID. This is the number you will need to enter into the website's tracking tool, in order to know the location of your package.
All you have to do is enter the tracking ID in the search field, select search and the information related to your package will be displayed. There, you will be able to see exactly where your package is and even if it has already been picked up.
However, while Spoton specializes in logistics solutions and parcel delivery, with the bulk of its operations involving that, many Spoton customers, as well as use of lots of other couriers, have recently been migrating towards one-stop solutions for all of their tracking needs. The issue with tracking via a courier is that couriers often work in partnership with other couriers through different logistical networks in order to offer further reach for customers as far as where they can deliver parcels too.
Spoton on, for instance, is used by some other couriers for last-leg delivery, where something shipped from overseas and originally handled by another delivery service, is then passed on to Spoton for final delivery within India. Traditionally, the buyer or seller would need to change courier websites to access parcel tracking as it passed between the original handler and the final delivery handler, who would of course be two different companies with two different tracking tools. Now, Ship24 offers multiple couriers tracking all from one place, meaning whether your parcel is being handled by only one courier, lots of different couriers, or you are unsure, you can rest assured that all package tracking can be done on Ship24.
What does a Spoton tracking number look like?
Usually, all Spoton consignment tracking numbers will have the same structure. They will be made up of a set of 9 numeric digits, that is formulated by the company according to information specific to the package or parcel (such as its destination and mode of shipment). This number is important for both buyers, sellers, and Spoton due to the following:
- It allows Spoton to identify where the package is coming from, where it is going, and even what type of shipment is being sent.
- It allows buyers and sellers to track their shipments using the Ship24 universal tracking tool. Simply copy and paste the tracking number as soon as you have it and begin global tracking of your Spoton parcel straight away.
All 9 digits of a Spoton tracking number will be numerical. It is important that you make sure you either copy and paste the tracking code directly once you have it, or that it is entered correctly, to ensure that you can begin tracking on the Ship24 website.
As these numbers are individual to your parcel, a simple error could result in the Spoton tracking results of another package being displayed or being met with no information being displayed at all. If this is the case, it could be due to a number of factors. However, if you are trying to track a Spoton parcel, make sure you have entered the number correctly before contacting Spoton or the seller who sent you the Spoton tracking number, to query the status of your package.
How long does it take for Spoton to deliver?
Every Spoton delivery will include an estimated delivery time. These delivery times vary depending on the service you have chosen, as it will determine the mode of transport used. Air transportation will be quicker but it's usually more expensive whereas road is less expensive but could take longer to deliver.
Spoton average delivery times usually take 2 to 3 days for packages to be delivered to the final destination.
However, you can always have peace of mind thanks to Ship24 online parcel tracking that allows you to track your package wherever it is. If there is a delay with your parcel, this information will also be available and Ship24 will not stop bringing you tracking updates until your parcel is successfully delivered.
Does Spoton offer air delivery services?
Spoton offers both road and air delivery services for customers and businesses, for delivery within India. The air service specifically is designed for urgent deliveries (such as important documents) or deliveries that must be made as soon as possible due to their contents (such as deliveries containing perishable goods).
Air transportation also allows for delivery to remote locations which are hard to access by road speedier and provides a service for high-value and fragile shipments which need to spend as little time being transported as possible.
Spoton integrates its Air express delivery services with its popular Road express services, to offer a domestic package forwarding flexibility which typically can guarantee delivery times within desirable periods. The service also can cater for time specific deliveries (such as in the day or night) which can be more convenient for customers both to allow them to make sure a recipient will be available to receive the packages, as well as being more cost-effective in certain circumstances.
Is Spoton a trusted logistics service?
Spoton boasts in-house leadership by a number of industry veterans, with many of its original management team still at the company years later who are responsible for its impressive growth since its founding in 2012.
Today, the company continues to strengthen and build a robust network that handles more than 100,000 shipments daily to over 20,000+ pin codes across the country. Spoton also operates 365 days a year and therefore is always contactable and able to continue to forward, process, and deliver packages and parcels.
Finally, Spoton works with more than 500 highly experienced, pickup and delivery partners meaning that where it does not have the capacity or man-power to make a delivery, it can usually utilize the vast network of delivery and logistics partners that it maintains to be able to come through on package delivery. This is also why tracking should be done through Ship24, as should Spoton need to use another pickup and delivery partner during the process of forwarding your parcel, then Ship24 tracking can make sure you get the latest information on who that handler is, where your parcel is and its current status.
Does Spoton Logistics only deliver in India?
Currently, Spoton logistics deals predominantly with package delivery and forwarding in India. Although the company does help solve international logistics issues as far as shipments arriving from overseas and being distributed in India, it currently does not offer delivery outside of mainland India.
Where Spoton is used for last-mile delivery (if a shipment from overseas arrives and Spoton handles the final part of its delivery to a location) then Ship24's multi-courier tracking means you won't need to use different websites to continue tracking the shipment.
Use Ship24 for end-to-end Spoton tracking both for domestic and international parcels.
