Save frequent locations

This guide shows you how to save addresses you use again and again in Routella, so you can reuse them instantly instead of retyping them every time.

What it is

Saved Locations is your own address book inside Routella. You store the places you deliver from and deliver to most often, with their phone number, contact person, and any handy notes. There are two groups, kept on separate tabs: Company Locations (your own places, like your shop or warehouse where deliveries start) and Customer Locations (regular drop-off spots you send to again and again). Once saved, an address sits there ready to reuse, so you stop typing the same details over and over.

Why it matters

If you deliver from the same shop every day, or keep sending parcels to the same regular customers, typing those addresses by hand each time wastes minutes and invites typos. A small mistake in an address can send a driver to the wrong street. Saving a location once means it is always correct and always one tap away. You can even mark one place in each group as your "default" (the one Routella treats as your usual choice), so your everyday address is ready without you lifting a finger.

Step by step

1
Open the Saved Locations page
Go to Settings, then look for the entry called "Saved Locations" (described as "Addresses and Pickup Points") and open it. You will land on a page titled Saved Locations with a "Back to Dashboard" link at the top if you ever want to leave.
2
Pick the right group first
Near the top you will see two tabs: "Company Locations" (your own pickup spots) and "Customer Locations" (regular delivery destinations). Click the tab that matches what you are about to add. Whatever you save lands in the tab you are currently viewing, so choose it before you start.
3
Start a new location
Click the button to add a new location (it reads "+ New location"). A form opens right on the page. The same form is used whether you are adding or editing, so it will be empty and ready for a fresh entry.
4
Fill in the details
Type a Location Name — this is the only required field, so give it something you will recognise later, like "Main shop" or "Mrs. Cohen - café". Then fill in whatever else helps: Contact person, Phone, an extra phone ("Additional Phone"), Email, and the address broken into City, Street, Building, Floor, and Apartment. There is also a Notes box for things like "gate code 4321" or "leave with the neighbour".
5
Optionally mark it as your default
If this is the place you use most in this group, tick the "Set as default" box. Only one location per group can be the default — picking a new one automatically removes the star from whatever was the default before, so you never end up with two.
6
Save it
Click the Save button (it says "Update" instead if you are editing an existing one). Your new place appears as a card lower down the page. A default location shows a star and a highlighted border so it is easy to spot at a glance. If you change your mind before saving, click Cancel.
7
Find, edit, or remove later
Use the "Search location..." box at the top to filter by name, contact, city, street, or phone. On any card you have three actions: Edit to change the details, a star button to set or remove its default status, and Delete to remove it (Routella asks you to confirm first, so you cannot delete by accident).

Tips

Give every location a clear, human name. "Warehouse - back entrance" is far easier to recognise later than a bare street address.
Use the Notes box for the little things drivers always forget — gate codes, buzzer numbers, "call on arrival", or where to leave a parcel.
Remember the two tabs are separate worlds: a place saved under Company Locations will not show up while you are looking at Customer Locations, and each tab keeps its own default.
Setting a new default automatically un-defaults the old one in that same group, so you don't have to go back and untick the previous favourite.

Common questions

What's the difference between Company and Customer locations?

Company Locations are your own places — the shops, kitchens, or warehouses where deliveries start. Customer Locations are regular drop-off spots you send to often. They live on two separate tabs so your pickup points and your delivery points never get mixed up.

Do I have to fill in the whole address?

No. The only field Routella insists on is the Location Name. Everything else — phone, contact, city, street, floor, notes — is optional, so you can save as much or as little as you like. The more you add, though, the less you have to type later.

What does "default" actually do?

It marks one location in a group as your usual, go-to choice, shown with a star and a highlighted card. Each group can have only one default at a time, so it's a quick way to flag the place you use most without scrolling through the whole list.
