It’s much easier to work with digital route data than with printed reports. Contact your vendor and ask them how to export data into Excel (CSV) format or to send you a file. Most vendors can do this easily and are happy to help out. This file will make life much easier all around.

And while you’re on the phone, ask about uploading route changes on the “Go Live” date. Instead of typing changes into the billing system by hand, you just give them a file with the new routes. It’s cheaper, more reliable and much faster than doing it manually.
