Abstract

A system disclosed herein is used to track packages (204) sent via an intraorganizational mail system, even when such mail system includes shipping some packages (204) in bulk to remote organizational locations (300) via an external carrier (260). A package administration system (14) generates package identifiers (218) to be associated with packages (204). In the event that such packages (204) are aggregated with other packages (204) destined for a common location (300), the package identifiers (218) are associated with a tracking identifier (23 1) identifying the consolidated master package (234) containing a plurality of such packages(204).
