Who uses territory management software?

Sales territories
Depot areas
Delivery regions
Door-drop rounds
Engineering field-forces
Newspaper delivery

Door-step deliveries

Use GeoXploit or one of the other specialist Territory Management products to allocate resources more cost effectively.

L’Oréal Professional Products Division (LPPD), part of the cosmetics company, use GeoConcept GIS with Territory Manager to adapt existing territories dynamically to reflect changes in the concentration of demand, and create new ones where required. LPPD has bought full software licences, and therefore has the ability to perform its own analysis in-house, but they have opted for working with MapMechanics staff on a project by project basis. Arthur Ehoff, LPPD’s commercial development manager, explains:

“ working with it alongside MapMechanics has given us an excellent way to get the best value from our investment.”

Territory Management Optimisation Software

Why use optimisation software to manage your territories?

Optimising the allocation of work to resources involves many different factors ranging from the skill set of each represenative for sales territories, or the facilities at each depot, to the specific requirements of each customer or job.

For a planner to balance territories on what are often competing cirteria, can be time-consuming and difficult.

Whether you are creating regional sales territories or rounds small enough for one leaflet distributor on foot, using territory optimisation software enables you to:

save time planning and reduce travel / transport / fuel costs
increase customer-facing time and improve customer service
reduce the number of sites or field-staff to meet the demand
be more responsive to change
improve staff morale / franchisee satisfaction via fairer allocations
