The Customers section is primarily used in the Route application to help Afaqy clients manage their own customer records and delivery/pickup locations. Customers represent the organizations, branches, or individuals that your teams serve. Maintaining customer profiles (including locations and contact details) makes it easy to select customers when creating job orders and supports consistent routing operations.
