The iTraq Butterfly’s Package Tracking as a Service (PTaaS) offers consumers location tracking insight and peace of mind that surpass what is available today. 

Currently, USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL offer basic package tracking information via web or text message, plus replacement insurance. 

Although this limited location service is adequate for some packages, select consumers are looking for a higher level of security and location data for their shipments.

A Seller purchases Butterfly devices from iTraq for $69.99 and keeps them in stock in its fulfillment center. 

iTraq also provides free pre-paid return envelopes to collect Butterfly devices after use.

Step 2

A Customer purchases a high-value product on a Seller's website.

Step 3

The Seller offers the additional package tracking service TrackMe.Online for $24.99.

The Customer receives the shipment, prepares the device return envelope, and drops off the device at any USPS location.

Step 7

The iTraq Refurbishing Team receives the device and refunds $50 to the Seller.
