OPTIMISE YOUR SALES TERRITORIES WITH PORTATOUR®

Territory optimization plays a fundamental role in field sales strategy. Allocating customers, leads and workload across a sales team in an optimal way is the key to achieve the best possible results and improve performance.

Territory mapping is a complex task that must be done efficiently and effectively. There are many factors to consider, and you also need to be able to adapt and react to possible changes in strategy or team. Your customer base might be constantly changing, your business targets may be shifting with the introduction of new products or seasonal campaigns, team members may be leaving or changing their home location, whereas new ones might be joining, etc.

In fact, territory optimization is not a one-off process. An efficient territory planning strategy enables a flexible adjustment of essential parameters in order to be able to react optimally to challenges.

portatour® + Territory Optimization is now available as an add-on to the existing portatour® Route Planner SaaS solution. Efficient, adjustable, and easy-to-handle territory mapping offers you the following advantages:

• Thanks to an intuitive web app interface, it’s easy to get started.
• Powerful SaaS technology assures fast calculation times.
• Up to 7 different scenarios are generated simultaneously – for quick comparison of different optimization targets.
• You can play the “what-if” game and see how different prioritization settings influence key metrics before implementing new territories.
• For optimization, concrete driving routes are used on actual road data with realistic traffic speeds – no beeline estimates.
• Home locations, working hours and rules for overnight stays away from home are considered.
• Individual call intervals, call durations and opening hours of customers are included in the calculation.
