What it's for

Everything the app calculates — forecasts, purchasing, routes, truck loading — depends on this data. Complete data means reliable plans.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Products

    The list of items with SKU, category, unit and cost. Add them one by one or import from Excel with the template. Click a product to see its detail and suppliers.

  2. 2

    Packaging & dimensions

    In the "Packaging & dimensions" tab you record the unit, box and pallet with dimensions (cm), weight (kg) and how many units each holds. Mark it fragile or keep-upright. If you don't have them, the operator can measure the product at receiving.

  3. 3

    Customers: delivery point

    For each customer you mark on the map where deliveries go, their receiving hours and how many minutes a delivery takes. If it's missing, the app learns the location from the first delivery's GPS.

  4. 4

    Warehouses

    Each site with its code, city and coordinates, its zones and locations. The coordinates let you plan routes from that warehouse.

Example: A box of filters

Acme receives filters in boxes of 12 (40 × 30 × 25 cm, 14 kg). With that, the picking optimizer knows how many fit on a cart and the route planner how many boxes go on each truck.

Tips

  • The "Logistics data" card in Picking and Routes shows what share of products, customers and trucks already have their data.
  • Start with the fastest movers: measuring 20 % of products already covers most shipments.
