Add Addresses – Create Customer Addresses in Address Book List

Your Route4Me Address Book List is a centralized database where you and your team members can securely store the information about customers’ locations, delivery addresses, depots, prospects, commercial facilities, warehouses, and any other relevant prospects and real-world locations. The contacts in the Address Book List can be used for generating orders, inserting into the best routes or planning entirely new routes, and more. All contacts and delivery addresses that are saved and modified in your Address Book List can be automatically synchronized across all associated and authorized devices in real time. Thus, whenever you create a new entry in the Address Book List from the Route4Me Route Optimization Web Platform, it instantly becomes available on Route4Me’s iOS and Android Route Planner Apps.

To create a new entry/contact in your Route4Me Address Book, first, go to Address Book List from the navigation menu.

Next, go to File in the top left corner of the screen and then select Add Address from the list.

In the Add Address window, first, input full or partial delivery addresses of the contacts into the corresponding field. When you input a partial or incorrect address, the system automatically geocodes it and suggests one or multiple valid variants of the address. Select one of the suggested variants and make sure that the red dot turns to green, meaning that the address is valid and properly geocoded.

Next, input the alias (custom name) of the contact into the corresponding field. When creating a new alias for a contact, make sure that it is easily identifiable and corresponds to particular features of its associated prospect or address.

After that, you can choose a particular color and icon that you want to represent the contact on the map (i.e., in the Address Book Map).

In the Location Details tab, first, assign the contact to a particular Search Group using the corresponding field.

After that, fill out the rest of the fields in the Location Details tab with the contact information of the associated prospect.

To add custom data that does not fit into the pre-set fields in the Add Address window, click on the Edit Custom Data button.

In the Business Details tab, you can define the following order information of the associated customer: Pieces, Weight, Cube, Reference No, Revenue, and Priority, as well as select the preferred Address Stop Type.

In the Time Windows tab, you can add two time windows for the contact’s visitation hours, as well as define the service time for the contact’s location.

In the Schedule tab, you can create one or multiple custom recurring visitation schedules.

After filling out the customer details, delivery addresses, prospect information, etc., click on the Add button to save the contact into your Route4Me Address Book.

Once the contact’s profile is saved, it is added to your Route4Me Address Book where you can view and modify it, as well as use it for generating orders, inserting into the best routes or planning entirely new routes, and more.

When you use contacts from your Route4Me Address Book for planning multi stop routes, all data from these contacts’ profiles is automatically attached to the corresponding route stops. To view or modify the information of a particular contact in the planned route, open the menu of the corresponding route stop in the Route Editor. NOTE: When you edit the details of a particular customer in the Route Editor (in the planned route), these changes do not affect the profile of the associated contact in the Address Book List.
