The methods at least includes issuing and scanning the barcode at an initial location, pairing the barcode with a first mobile device, receiving transaction information of the package to update the barcode to include the transaction information, validating the barcode with a first digital signature, unpairing the barcode with the first mobile device, scanning the barcode by a second mobile device, and pairing the barcode with the second mobile device, validating the barcode with a second digital signature, tracking a location of the package that is moving along with the second mobile device. Tracking is continued until the package is arrived at a final destination. Validated data is further confirmed by a third party to increase credibility of tracking information.
