The Journey: From CSV to Optimized Routes 🚀¶

Here's how we transform raw order data into optimized delivery routes:

    subgraph "Input Processing"
        A[CSV Upload] -->|Browser Processing| B[Validation]
        B -->|Format Check| C[Data Cleaning]
    end

    subgraph "Route Planning"
        C -->|Validated Data| D[Address Geocoding]
        D -->|Coordinates| E[Route Grouping]
        E -->|Initial Groups| F[Route Optimization]
    end

    subgraph "User Interface"
        F -->|Suggested Routes| G[Map Preview]
        G -->|User Review| H[Manual Adjustments]
        H -->|Confirmation| I[Final Routes]
    end
