External tracking link To add a tracking link to any of your systems, all you need to do is append the pro number of the shipment in question to the following link:
http://facts.dohrn.com/scripts/cgiip.exe/protraceext.htm?wpro=
This enables your customers and users one-click access to the most current status of any shipment you’ve shipped with us. A recommendation is to set up your system to use pre-allocated pro numbers if this is a service you’ll be using heavily. If you’d like to get set up with a batch of pre-allocated pros, Contact our IT department with your request.
