How to import spreadsheets and plan delivery routes with greater clarity

Receiving dozens of orders in a spreadsheet is common. The problem starts when each address has to be copied, checked and organized manually before the first delivery.

In the Genne app, you can import a spreadsheet of addresses and orders to turn that list into a more organized route. The feature is useful for drivers, couriers, independent professionals and urban operations with several stops in the same day.

Why import the spreadsheet

Typing addresses one by one takes time and increases the chance of bringing incomplete information into the route. With import, orders enter planning together. This makes it simpler to review stops, check what belongs on the same journey and prepare the sequence before leaving.

Importing also helps preserve the context of each delivery. Order, address, additional details and notes can be checked while organizing the route, reducing reliance on scattered notes or repeated consultation of the original spreadsheet.

How to prepare the data

Before importing, quickly review the file:

• keep one address per row;
• check street, number, neighborhood, city and CEP;
• put additional details in the corresponding field;
• use a clear identifier for each order;
• remove empty rows and duplicate orders;
• record useful delivery notes.

This check remains important even with the app's help. An incomplete or ambiguous address may need correction before it enters the final sequence.

From spreadsheet to route

The workflow can be organized into four steps.

1. Import the orders

Select the spreadsheet used in the operation and bring the addresses into the planner. Instead of starting an empty route and filling in each stop, you start with the list you already received.

2. Review the stops

Check the imported data and correct anything incomplete. Pay particular attention to numbers, additional details and notes, as these can distinguish deliveries on the same street or in the same building.

3. Organize and optimize

After reviewing, organize the stops and use optimization to find a clearer sequence. The idea is to reduce unnecessary backtracking and avoid deciding on the next destination in the middle of execution.

4. Execute in the same workflow

With the route ready, follow stops on the map and update delivery progress. This connects preparation in the spreadsheet to the work on the road.

When the feature makes the biggest difference

Importing is especially useful when there are many orders, multiple recipients or packages that need to be grouped by route. It also helps people who receive recurring files from e-commerce businesses, carriers or customers and need to start planning quickly.

The benefit does not depend on importing alone. The best experience comes from combining a well-filled spreadsheet, address review and stop organization before departure.

Less copying, more clarity

A spreadsheet does not have to be another manual step between receiving orders and going out on the road. By importing data into the app, you concentrate route preparation in one workflow and get a clearer view of what needs to be delivered.

The official app page on Google Play lists spreadsheet import, package grouping and stop organization among the available features. The Genne route planning guide shows how to gather addresses, organize stops, optimize the sequence and execute deliveries.

Download the app, import the spreadsheet for your next route and review the stops before leaving.
