# Introduction

Routes represent the various parts or sections of a transportation operation. Each mode of transportation (such as sea, air, and land freight) has its own specific route type.

Routes have verified cargo details linked to the shipment, providing reliable data that can be transformed into shipping documents and transmitted to local authorities.

This module enables the input of essential information for all shipments, playing a key role in subsequent processes. It also allows you to effortlessly calculate the volume of your goods using their dimensions, all within the platform.

# Conditions
