Abstract: Systems and methods which provide tokenization of various shipping data for which shielding is desired are described. Embodiments may facilitate controlled and/or protected usage of shielded shipping data, such as may include personally identifiable information, with tokenization. Shielded shipping data tokens of embodiments are matched with an entity, party, system, permitted usage of corresponding shielded shipping data. A data shielding service system may shield usage of shielded shipping data in accordance with applicable regulations according to applicable rules, and/or the like. Permitted accessors may be relieved of demands of maintaining compliance with the regulations and rules with respect to shielded shipping data in light of their enforcement and compliance being imposed through tokenization of the shielded shipping data.

Abstract: Systems and methods which provide for allocation of tokens, such as may be used for tracking number dissemination, for shipment document processing are described. Embodiments operate to allocate tokens to the various shipping document processing systems for their use by the respective document processing systems. The various shipping document processing systems may be enabled to independently perform shipping document processing for extended periods of time (e.g., days, weeks, etc.) using their respective allocations of tokens, such as to use the tokens, including reuse of the tokens over time, without overlap (e.g., without introducing overlapping instances of tracking numbers). Logic of shipping document processing systems record use time information (e.g., a date and/or time of use of a token or tokens) in association with their use of tokens of their allotment, wherein the use tokens from the allocations is in accordance with last use time information.
