Paul Connolly by Paul Connolly on May 11, 2018  |  3 minute read

Our next big mapping software release is just around the corner and we wanted to give you a little preview of what's coming! We are constantly looking at ways to enhance our product and through our valuable customer feedback, we're proud to give you a quick look at our upcoming release.

New Mobile Solution!

That's right, eSpatial will be launching a mobile solution in the upcoming release. You'll be able to use us on your mobile browser and Salesforce1. In the coming months, it will be available on Apple AppStore and Google PlayStore. We listened to the great feedback from our customers and designed eSpatial Mobile which will empower sales and service reps in the field. From eSpatial Mobile, customers will be able to:

  1. Prioritize their accounts
    Use Radius or Drive Time buffers out on the road.Filter data based on certain criteria such as status.
  2. Plan their week
    View maps with accounts to visit that day and create routes.
  3. Optimize Sales Routes
    Select or bulk select accounts you want to visit. Then create an optimized route to save time on the road.
  4. Efficiently handle cancelled meetings
    Every sales rep has to deal with the disruption caused by cancelled meetings. Turn these frustrations into opportunities with a quick Drive Time Buffer using eSpatial Mobile to discover nearby accounts.
  5. Bulk Update Accounts
    No need to painstakingly update one record at a time. Open eSpatial Mobile at the end of the day and bulk update fields such as Status or Last Visited Date to finish your day.
