Bus/Financial - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / trucking
Dutch term or phrase: opvolging
de inkoop en de professionele opvolging (track and trace) van alle transporten.

This is from a document outlining the outsourcing of commercial trucks. Somehow "succession" and "observing" fall short, especially since they already provide a translation, but opvolging then continues to be used in the document.

In re-reading the context of this one, the intent isn't clear. I had originally plumped for "monitoring", since the (track and trace) accompanying it seemed to limit the intent.

I'm going to throw it back at the client and see if monitoring will suffice, or whether anything else is implied.
