Abstract
Systems and devices are provided for tracking deliveries and confirming delivery information with seals attached to the delivery vessel. In certain embodiments the seal includes a hidden number or code that is only viewable once the seal is broken or cut. The seal includes data and information that matches that of a corresponding delivery. Mobile devices and other computing devices can track the information that is input by the delivery personnel during the delivery process.
