Formatting Files for Uploading to Route4Me

To import routing data into your Route4Me account, first, format it into a spreadsheet. For a spreadsheet to be successfully processed, it should contain a header row and data rows. The header defines the type of information you are importing, while the corresponding data rows contain the actual information you input into the system. The only mandatory column is the Address column which should include the street name and number, city, state, and zip code. Currently, Route4Me supports CSV, XLS, and XLSX upload file formats.

Importing Onfleet Data for Planning Routes

Route4Me offers multiple methods for importing your data into the system. You can upload spreadsheets with thousands of addresses or contacts, and Route4Me will do all the computing and processing for you, delivering corrected and geocoded route destinations. Route4Me allows you to upload scanned documents, import files from various cloud-based storage services, or pick addresses right from the map using Route4Me’s Interactive Map Editor.

Next, prepare a spreadsheet that should include the addresses and contacts downloaded from your current route planner. The import spreadsheet should contain a header row and data rows. The header defines the type of information you are importing, while the corresponding data rows contain the actual data you input into the system. The only mandatory column is the Address column which should include the street name and number, city, state and zip code of the corresponding address.

Once you prepared the spreadsheet, in your Address Book, click File and then select Upload Addresses from the list.

After that, either drag and drop the file/spreadsheet into the corresponding window or click Browse File to Upload and then upload the file from your device.

Once you uploaded the spreadsheet, Route4Me processes the imported data and displays it in the corresponding window. For the system to process the data automatically, select the Auto (attempt detection) option respectively.

In the Verify Addresses on Map window, you can view all imported and processed addresses on the map, as well as check their geocoding statuses. Green-colored dots indicate that the corresponding addresses were successfully geocoded with High Confidence. Addresses in the yellow Review tab should be reviewed and fixed accordingly. To finish importing the data, click on the corresponding button.

Once you imported your addresses and contacts into the system, you can use them for planning and optimizing routes, scheduling recurring events, generating orders, as well as many other routing activities.
