Raute

Moving from Route Manager

Bring your whole account over in about ten minutes. Nothing to export from Route Manager and nothing to type again.

  1. 1

    Make your Raute account

    Sign up with your business email. Once you are in, come back here and press Open water routes, then Turn on water routes. That takes you straight to Bring your data.

    Sign up Open water routes
  2. 2

    Close Route Manager

    On every computer that has it open: File, then Exit and Logout. Its files are only complete while nobody is in it.

  3. 3

    Find its folder

    Right click the Route Manager icon on your desktop and choose Open file location. The folder that opens is the one you want; it has a folder called DATA inside. If Route Manager lives on a server drive (often R:), it is there.

  4. 4

    Drop it into Raute

    In Raute, on Water, Bring your data: drag that folder onto the box (or click Choose the folder). Raute shows you what it found. Check it, then press Bring it all in.

What comes over

  • Every customer and every stop, with your account numbers
  • Accounts with several stops, and accounts billed to another
  • Your day labels as route days, on the same 28 day cycle
  • Standing orders, special prices and price levels
  • Delivery fees, bottles out and deposits
  • Balances owed, notes and delivery instructions
  • Coolers and equipment by serial number
  • Pins on the map, where Route Manager had them
  • Years of old tickets and payments, from the year folders in DATA, on each customer by year (drop them on Old tickets from Route Manager)

After it is in

Put one route day on the board and hold it next to Route Manager's route sheet, and check one account's balance against its last statement. Run both side by side for as long as you like: dropping a newer copy of the folder in again updates the same accounts, and nobody is added twice.

Your files are read in your own browser and go only into your Raute account. Nobody else sees your customers. Stuck on a step? Call (760) 759-6341 or write to support@raute.io and we will walk you through it.
