SimpliRoute

If you want to load a huge number of visits, the best way to do it is via an Excel file. SimpliRoute works with an Excel type template. If you load a file that does not correspond to the SimpliRoute template, the platform will not be able to read it. Most of the columns are not necessary and even if you may not need them, don't delete it. Let it empty. Equal than in the interface, Title and Address are the only obligatory fields.

ADVANCED: the Excel file also allows you to add visits with latitude and longitude in the case you know it. If you have the latitudes and longitudes, we recommend you to load it so that with it you will save posterior geolocation work.

You can download the standard template at the end of this article or directly in SimpliRoute in the Import visits Step 2 thanks to the button You may use this sample template.

The formats accepted by the template in each columna are:

Full address: free text. The more you will respecte the "Number Street, City or District, Country" format (example: 535 Scott Street, San Francisco, CA, United States"), the more best results you have.
