1. Introduction
In today's fast-paced logistics landscape, efficient tracking and management of cargo and
logistics processes are crucial for increased productivity and customer satisfaction. This project
aims to develop a Cargo and Logistics Tracking System that manages and queries data on
shipments, customers, packages, delivery statuses, and employees within a relational
database. The system will offer real-time tracking capabilities, enabling better control over
deliveries, faster response times, and increased customer satisfaction.

• Optimization of delivery processes to enhance efficiency.

• Analysis of historical data to improve future operations.
