    The Customers section is primarily used in the Route application to help Afaqy clients manage their own customer records and delivery/pickup locations. Customers represent the organizations, branches, or individuals that your teams serve. Maintaining customer profiles (including locations and contact details) makes it easy to select customers when creating job orders and supports consistent routing operations.

    Selecting Columns

    To choose columns that display additional details about the customers, click the icon located in the table header. The Customers section includes the following columns:

    Column
    Description
    #
    The sequence number of the customer in the table (Indelible).
    Is visible on map
    The visibility of the customer on the map.
    Name
    The customerโ€™s name (Indelible)
    Type
    The type of the customer.
    Status
    The status assigned to the customer.
    Customer Type
    Defines the relationship level (e.g., Company vs. Individual)
    Actions
    Available actions such as edit, delete, etc. (based on permissions).

    Customer Activity & Auditing

    Users can monitor customer-related activity through:

    • Customer Reports
    • Activity Logs
    • Contact History

    These insights help track interactions and changes associated with customer records.

    Best Practices

    • Assign accurate contact information for each customer.
    • Use clear and recognizable customer names to avoid duplicates.
    • Review inactive customers periodically.
    • Ensure customer locations/addresses are accurate and up to date so they can be selected reliably during job order creation and routing.
