Abstract: Methods and system for piece level tracking in a freight context. In one aspect, a freight tracking system includes a freight logistics computing device comprising a processor executing instructions stored in memory. The instructions cause the processer to receive an order for shipping goods in bulk at a goods level, wherein the order is associated with a plurality of pieces, define a rules engine which is configured to enable or disable piece level tracking, track at least one piece of the plurality of pieces at a piece level when piece level tracking is enabled, and expose a record providing piece level information including when the at least one piece contains different information from at least one other piece of the plurality of pieces.
