Address Book

This feature provides a dedicated address book for each of your customers, accessible directly from their profile. It allows you to store frequently used origin and destination locations, simplifying shipment creation.

Benefits:

  • Faster Order Entry: Easily select saved addresses from a dropdown menu as you type, eliminating manual entry and reducing errors.
  • Improved Accuracy: Ensure consistent and accurate address information for all shipments associated with a specific customer.
  • Enhanced Organization: Manage addresses for each customer separately, providing a clear and organized view of their shipping locations.

How to Use:

  • Navigate to Customers > Companies.
  • Click on the Customer ID to access their profile.
  • Under Customer Tools, select Address Book.
  • Add New Address: Click the "Add New Address" button and fill out the required fields.
  • Edit Existing Address: Click the "Pencil" icon next to the address you wish to modify.
  • Import/Export: Utilize the "Import/Export CSV" button to add multiple addresses via an Excel template or export existing addresses for review.

Global Address Book

In addition to the Customer Address Book, we've introduced a Global Address Book accessible to all your customers. This centralized repository houses locations accessible to everyone within your organization.

Benefits:

  • Standardized Locations: Ensure consistency in address information across all users and customers.
  • Simplified Management: Update addresses in a single location, automatically reflecting changes for all users.

How to Use:

  • Go to LSP > My Organization > Broker Tools > Address Book.
  • Manage addresses using the same functionalities available in the Customer Address Book (Add New Address, Edit, Import/Export).

Shipment Creation Usage:

In the shipment origin and destination information section, users can easily search for addresses in their address book using either the Company Name or Street Address.

By entering a zip code initially, you can narrow down your search to find addresses specifically within that zip code.
