Adding Notes to a Stop on an iPhone
Route4Me’s iPhone app allows you to add notes to the addresses/stops on your routes. Notes can contain delivery statuses, descriptive text, uploaded images and signatures. Adding notes to stops helps to document important information about performed routing activities and make sure that you are always on the same page with your team members and your customers. Notes also contain data that can make your routing transactions and processes more secure and help you avoid various types of fraud.
