            Create a Route

            A route acts as a blueprint for creating tours. Use a route to define key characteristics, such as start warehouse, default user, and vehicles, for delivery, sales, or merchandising trips. A list of customer stops in a specific sequence, together with the visit type, is automatically assigned to a route. Routes are typically used in emerging or fragmented markets and are mapped to warehouses with drivers, products, and vehicles.

            • Add Customers to Routes
              After you create a route by using a route template, you can add one or more customers to the route. When you add customers, they’re added sequentially to the route. You can modify the customer sequence on the Edit Sequence page. You can create customers and a list of tasks for the customers on the route.
            • Edit Customer Sequence in Routes
              Reorder the sequence of the customer in a route by providing the sequence number or use the drag-and-drop feature on the Edit Sequence page. Drivers execute the tasks and the visits for customers based on the customer sequence set in a route.
