Geocoding for Logistics: OpenRouteService API & Google Sheets

This n8n workflow is designed for logistics and supply chain teams to process geographical data efficiently. It reads addresses with country codes from a Google Sheet, loops through each record, queries the OpenRouteService API for precise GPS coordinates (longitude, latitude), neighborhood, city, and local information, extracts the results, and updates the original sheet with the new values. Ideal for transportation planning, supply chain network design, and route optimization studies.

Key benefits include significant time savings on manual geocoding, reduced errors in location data, and enhanced accuracy for logistics operations. By automating this process, teams can focus on strategic analysis rather than data entry, ultimately lowering costs and minimizing environmental impact through optimized routes.

Use cases span logistics operations like delivery route planning, shipment management, and market analytics requiring GPS data. Beginner-friendly setup requires only a Google Sheet and free OpenRouteService API key, making it accessible for supply chain engineers, data scientists, and transport planners.
