Field stories

Four daily situations every courier owner knows

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

Cutover

2 steps
  1. Select the custom EcoTrack connector

  2. Update the API base URL and merchant key

Safe cutover

Four days without downtime

  1. Day 1

    Import merchants, hubs, pricing

    One Excel file moves merchants, drivers, desks, and tariffs.

  2. Day 2

    Clean parcel cutover

    Old parcels finish on the previous system; new labels print only on Hezmy.

  3. Day 3

    Opening balances

    Post each wilaya treasury and merchant nets as documented opening entries.

  4. Day 4

    API URL flip

    Connected stores change the base URL; new orders flow automatically.
