What's the True Cost of Outdated Territory Design?

Stop manually syncing data and sharing outdated files. eSpatial’s AI-driven platform connects to your CRM and delivers real-time insights, eliminating administrative friction and accelerating your time to revenue.

Balancing sales territories shouldn't be a manual, reactive exercise. With annual team turnover, new product launches, and multiple business units to manage, you can't afford to be bogged down by static spreadsheets and a time-consuming process. The friction isn't just a nuisance; it's a direct threat to your ability to make confident, data-backed decisions at the speed your business demands.

eSpatial Vs. AlignMix: The Definitive Comparison Matrix

Feature

eSpatial

AlignMix

Balancing territories for equity & performance

Seamless, Intuitive Optimization. Unlock the hidden sales potential in your territory designs. Our AI-driven tools make it easy to instantly balance territories on key metrics, ensuring every rep has a fair shot at success.

Manual, Time-Consuming Process. Requires a manual "back-and-forth" using a mouse to adjust boundaries. It can be a fast way to make a single map, but it's a slow way to make a strategic decision.

Creating & comparing "What if" scenarios

Real-time collaboration. Share multiple scenarios with ease and compress decision times. Your team can provide real-time feedback on live maps, ensuring every stakeholder is aligned with the final decision.

Static, Single-User Workflow. You can create and export multiple scenarios, but sharing requires manually exporting image or Excel files, leading to version control issues and feedback delays.

Achieving true workload balance

Sophisticated metrics, simple process. Optimal designs mean using a sophisticated workload index, but sophisticated shouldn't mean hard. Our platform allows you to balance territories on revenue, accounts, sales potential, and more in minutes.

Basic, gut-feeling metrics. You can balance territories on sales data, but the core design process is a visual, manual effort. This can lead to imbalanced territories that don't account for true rep workload.

Structuring territories for multi-level management

Powerful enterprise-grade hierarchies. Built for complex sales structures. The eSpatial platform can support up to 6 territory hierarchies, giving you the power and flexibility to manage your team from the field to the C-suite.

Legacy 3-level hierarchy limit. Limited by its default three-level hierarchy (territories, districts, regions). This forces enterprise organizations with complex structures to manage multiple files or use manual workarounds.

Enterprise-grade support & professional services

Unlimited support from real people. We don't believe in a la carte support packages. Once you invest in eSpatial, you get unlimited, responsive support from our customer success team, not just a help desk.

Reactive, ticket-based support. The support model is generally reactive and focused on helping a single user with a specific desktop issue. It lacks the proactive, strategic guidance of a customer success team.

CRM & data integration

Direct, automated syncing. Eliminate manual updates. eSpatial offers direct, scheduled integrations with major CRMs like Salesforce, ensuring your maps are always up-to-date with a single source of truth.

Manual Excel imports & exports. Relies on a manual import/export workflow via Excel, which creates a disconnected, siloed data environment. The risk of stale data is always present.

2. Achieve Balanced Territories That Drive Real Revenue

Both platforms can design territories, but eSpatial is built to turn a static map into a strategic asset.

This ensures every rep has an equitable workload and an equal chance at success, moving you from guesswork to a data-driven strategy.

3. Make Confident, Data-driven
Decisions on a Single Platform

The true cost of a legacy tool is the need to stitch together disconnected systems. While AlignMix relies on Excel, eSpatial integrates directly with your CRM, so your data is always up-to-date and your maps are a single source of truth. This unified platform ensures that the entire organization is making decisions based on the most current data, eliminating administrative friction and accelerating your time to revenue.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Best Territory Mapping Tool for Sales, Marketing, and Operations?

The best tool is one that moves you from a static, manual process to a dynamic, collaborative, and data-driven workflow. For sales, marketing, and operations teams with no GIS experience, the best platform is a cloud-first solution that combines ease-of-use with CRM integrations. Instead of managing territories in siloed desktop applications, the ideal tool provides a single source of truth that is accessible, sharable, and always up to date for your entire team.

What Are the 3 Key Differentiators Between eSpatial and AlignMix?

The three key differentiators are cloud collaboration, real-time data, and hierarchical scalability. While AlignMix is a powerful desktop tool for a single user, it requires manual data uploads and limits complex organizational structures. eSpatial is a cloud-native platform that integrates directly with your CRM, provides unlimited real-time collaboration, and supports up to 6 territory hierarchies—allowing you to scale your business with confidence.

What ROI Can I Expect From Using Mapping Software?

The return on investment comes from three key areas: time savings, increased revenue, and better decision-making.
