Field stories
Four daily situations every courier owner knows
- 01
Evening cash close (19:00)
EcoTrack
Driver dumps returns and walks to cashier; a missed scan mixes custody and leaves a month-end hole.
Hezmy
Cashier cannot clear cash until sorter scans every return; the ledger balances immediately.
- 02
Lost exchange goods
EcoTrack
Échange without an independent reverse tracking number — old goods forgotten at night.
Hezmy
On deliver, EXR is created in custody; the route cannot close until it is returned to warehouse.
- 03
Saving a parcel at the door
EcoTrack
Price edits clash with the driver sheet or stay stale for cashier.
Hezmy
New COD hits the driver instantly and updates expected_cod_cash_dzd with a timestamped audit.
- 04
New wilaya codes (60, 65, 68…)
EcoTrack
Many APIs reject codes above 58.
Hezmy
Accepts 01–69 and shipAs-routes to the parent hub wilaya.
API compatibility
EcoTrack-compatible endpoints — no code changes
Platforms already wired to the EcoTrack protocol — including Ecomanager and DZBuild — keep working after the endpoint is pointed at Hezmy. Create, label, tracking, and fee calls stay the same, with webhooks available on the same contract.
