Sales territory optimization software enables sales operations teams to unlock up to 12% new sales potential. Routing optimization software can enable sales reps to make one more daily sales call.

Visualization and mapping software ensures rapid and more confident decision-making for sales operations and leaders. All are powerful tools for sales and sales ops leadership. But when you combine all three into one complete mapping solution. It is a marriage made in heaven for sales operations.

Your new integrated workflow

  1. You leverage data visualizations and analyze your sales data in new ways.

  2. You design and realign your sales territories to optimize and balance

  3. You give your sales reps a tool that maximizes profitable selling time

You can do these independently of each other. They work. But imagine a workflow that allows you to integrate your three processes seamlessly.

When a leading medical device company had finalized a significant territory realignment project, they realized that their workflows and geomapping platforms were no longer fit for purpose. Using several systems to achieve a singular outcome (optimized sales territories and routes) resulted in long delays, inefficiencies, and frustration. Sales operations leaders knew there was a better way.

The territory alignment software they had worked, but loading sales data took hours. And there was no data visualization capability to "see" how they were progressing and sense check results. Further complicating decisions was the inability to share maps securely with their sales leaders.

Scenario planning is crucial. They need to create multiple territory alignments and "sense check" each. Using map visualization, you gain new insights when overlaying key numbers like revenue, units sold, and patient implants. They lacked a vital piece of the jigsaw.

Things worsened when they optimized their sales territories. They had achieved one of their goals, but the field team's utilization was a problem. Ineffectiveness and inefficiencies would slow the execution of their realignment project. The team identified that the sales reps need to spend more profitable selling time with a high-value market segment. But the sales routes were not optimized, so sales reps were inefficient. They lacked effectiveness.

To achieve their goal of realizing sales potential. Sales reps need a routing optimization tool. But they struggled to find a single solution that solved their three primary objectives:

  1. To realign and optimize sales territories and maximize sales potential
  2. To analyze and visualize scenarios for their approvals process
  3. To optimize sales routes enabling the sales reps to make an additional call a day.

A marriage made in heaven?
