Basics
Logis relies on a few intuitive data constructions to structure your information. Here's a quick rundown:
Terms
User/Account Types
Both the provider and store-owner accounts can configure a related 'Company' to synchronize branding and configure a company site, phone number and etc. for client-facing operations. Each account type operates on their own distinct interface.
| Type | Definition |
|---|---|
| Provider | The person or company offering logistics services — in short, this is the account that handles incoming deliveries and creates routes for his drivers. This user account is the only account that is required to have a subscription, and is responsible for the creation of all other user accounts. |
| Store-Owner | The person or company that adds jobs to the provider's log — most commonly, deliveries. |
| Driver | The person responsible for executing a job. This account type is limited to mobile access. |
Data types
Clients
More precisely called 'EndClient' in data tables, for simplicity purposes, we'll refer to this table as 'Client' in this documentation
Clients are the beneficaries of a Job — in the case of a delivery from a local grocery store, the client in this scenario is the person receiving the groceries.
Jobs
'Job' is an alias for any task that requires a specific address and deadline. In most cases, a job will refer to a delivery — though it is modular enough to encompass more use-cases.
A Job always requires a related client — it is impossible to create a job without specifying a beneficary for it. As a result, should you, as a store owner, choose to integrate our API services to your code for automatic job creation, make sure to read on the API's expectations.
In addition to requiring a related client, a job also requires a related store owner for branding purposes.
API

Routes
Mostly self-explanatory — a route is essentially a list of ordered jobs with an assigned driver, date and other optional entries. Routes are relevant and visible only to drivers and providers, though store owners are informed when a delivery pertinent to them has been planned, unplanned and etc.
Live tracking services are offered for the provider to stay up to date on all his routes' states and progress. Other more limited tracking services are offered to both the relevant store owner and client.
