Sales Route Planning
Effective route planning is an essential component of any field sales strategy. While a navigation app like Apple Maps can find a route between multiple stops, your driver must input the optimal order for these visits. Not only is this a hassle for sales reps, but it's also an inefficient way to plan routes.
eSpatial's innovative route planning software for sales reps is specifically designed to maximize selling time by optimizing your rep's daily routes, alleviating the workload for you. Our sales rep route planner goes beyond basic planning, offering the most efficient routes for each field rep. This ensures a comprehensive view and complete control for sales managers, making our sales route mapping software an indispensable asset in field planning solutions.

How Does It Work?
A sales route planner allows you to create an intelligent, optimized driving route for each field rep based on your business' selling data and customer intelligence. This helps your sales team stay on strategy and on schedule for each appointment, ensuring that high-value targets don't slip through the cracks. But how do these tools enable you to plan an optimized route?
Define Your Strategy
The first step is to define your field sales strategy. To do this, upload your customer data to your route planning platform and generate a pin map of all their locations. Then, divide these stops into various sales territories to strategically cover priority clients. Filtering tools, visualization capabilities and interactive data styling features all allow you to further narrow in on areas of high profits.
Create Optimal Routes
Once you've input the stops you want to make along your route, it's as simple as clicking a button. The route planner's algorithms quickly generate the most efficient route to reach each destination, taking into account factors like rep and customer schedules, travel time and other data. Sales managers and representatives can also share these routes and itineraries to ensure that everyone remains on strategy. It offers your teams a real-time view of route details, making the process of planning and executing trips a seamless experience.
Maximize Selling Time
While a planned route is already optimized to reduce travel time, the reality is that many days don't go as planned. A sales route planner allows field reps to make on-the-fly adjustments to the start and stop times for each visit, as well as the number of stops. That way, routes can be reoptimized based on any unforeseen changes that come up.
