The OBILLSK Shipment Tracking system provides a single web based portal for inputting, tracking and assessing all ILL shipments for a given Interlibrary loan unit regardless of shipper chosen. The OBILLSK Shipment Tracking system can help libraries save thousands of dollars a year in lost book fees. Since 2017, the system has recorded over 1.5 million sending and receiving items.

"We've been participating in the OBILLSK program for over a year. Moving beyond traditional tracking methods, this system traces items every step of
the way across a number of shipping services, such as USPS and Fed-Ex. We're thrilled to report that now, when items go missing,
we can detect their location or prove their delivery. We're hopeful that over time we'll be able to save significant amounts of money in lost and overdue book charges."

"Michigan State University has been using OBILLSK since late 2017. It’s easy-to-understand system and intuitive design has eliminated a lot of stress associated
with tracking our Interlibrary Loan requests. An additional and unforeseen benefit of using OBILLSK to electronically track our shipments has been an increase in workflow efficiency,
cutting down the time we take to package our requests by half. OBILLSK has greatly reduced the amount of errors students and staff generate during shipping. The benefits of OBILLSK cannot be overstated,
and its usefulness to both high and low volume Interlibrary Loan departments is immense."
