As a preferred embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, a logistics transportation tracking method is proposed, which comprises the following steps:

step S101, receiving a transportation service request;

the logistics company's transportation is accomplished in part by outsourcing the carrier, such as a package delivery service, for example, by a fleet owned by the outsourcing company. In many cases, the transportation is performed on the basis of bid quotes. In the case of outsource-based transportation, this is typically done by the shipper sending bid offers to multiple outsourced carriers, which helps the logistics company to control costs and improve efficiency.

Step S102, automatically inquiring a plurality of transportation service providers, wherein at least one of the transportation service providers accepts the inquiry of the transportation service request in a preset format;

automatically querying, with one or more electronic devices, a plurality of transport service providers, at least one of which accepts queries for the transport service request in a predetermined format, the online data may be formatted in a predetermined format file to generate formatted data.
