Routes

Routes allow users to plan and manage driving routes for customer visits. Users can select contacts from multiple areas of CallProof, organize the visit order, optimize travel time or distance, assign routes to one or more sales representatives, notify assigned users, print route PDFs, and filter contacts by route.

Add Route

Build a route while you work on other screens without leaving Contacts, Companies, Appointments, or Followups. Each icon toggles one account in or out of your “basket.” The counter on Save Route shows how many stops you have so you can batch several accounts before opening the full route screen.

Delete Route
