According to which

I was wondering if you would use ‘according to which’ in the following sentence or if it sounds too clumsy.

“I checked the tracking system according to which the package was delivered last week.”

Thank you.

If you remove "the", it is OK. “I checked the tracking system according to [ which package was delivered last week ]” The bold part is a wh-clause. It is OK if it is your intended meaning.
