There are many types of geo maps, each serving a different purpose. That’s why eSpatial has created professional geo mapping software that allows you to take spreadsheet information and create the map that’s most suited to analyzing your data. Whether it’s a simple pin map or creating sales territories based on client density, eSpatial can help you create the right geo map to meet your needs.

What kind of geo map can I make?

Pin maps

Pin maps are the simplest way to plot your data. They can be useful for visualizing where your customers are based, and can be styled and color-coded based on different properties, such as a customer’s average purchase value. This would allow you to see where your most valuable customers live.

Heat maps

This type of geo map lets you quickly see pockets of density. Use heat maps to easily identify high and low performing sales territories, areas that have a high number of insurance claims.

Territory maps

Any company that has a field sales team needs to think about territory mapping. It can help you create fair and manageable regions for your field sales team. This prevents accidental overlap, ensures sales reps can pay enough attention to leads and improves employee satisfaction. When done hand in hand with route optimization, territory mapping can also help your sales reps make the most of their time on the road each day, leading to lower fuel costs and higher sales.
