Frequently Asked Questions


Creating a map typically involves three main steps:

  1. Prepare your data: Organize your location data (like addresses, zip codes, or cities) in a spreadsheet
  2. Upload your data: Log into eSpatial and use the "Upload new data" wizard to import your file (CSV or Excel)
  3. Visualize: The software automatically plots your data onto a map, which you can then style, filter, and analyze

eSpatial accepts data in Excel (.xls, .xlsx) and CSV (.csv) formats. It is recommended to have clean data with unique headers for columns like address, city, and state to ensure accurate plotting.

You can generate several types of maps depending on your analysis needs:

  • Pin maps: The simplest form, used to visualize specific locations like customers or stores
  • Heat maps: Used to identify pockets of high density, such as areas with high sales volume or customer concentration
  • Radius maps: Helpful for analyzing data within a specific distance or drive time from a central point
  • Territory maps: Used to design and balance sales or service territories based on geography or value
  • Route maps: For optimizing travel routes for field sales or service reps

Yes. You can style pins by color, size, and icon type. For example, you can color-code pins to represent different sales reps, use larger pins to show higher revenue volumes, or upload your own custom images and logos to use as markers.

You can use Layers to compare different datasets. For instance, a distribution company could create a map with separate layers for customers, warehouses, and sales reps. You can toggle these layers on and off to reveal or hide specific data points for clearer analysis.

Yes, eSpatial offers seamless integration with Salesforce. You can map data directly from your Salesforce Org, visualize it, and even save maps back to Salesforce without needing a separate license for every viewer.

Yes. You can use filters to isolate specific subsets of data, such as viewing only customers who have been visited in the last year or filtering by specific sales values. This helps in creating "call lists" or analyzing specific trends without visual clutter.
