Route Planner

There are a lot of challenges that confront outside sales reps. If you are one of them, you know the importance of getting familiar with your sales territory. You have an advantage if you know where your existing and potential customers are located in your area. It saves you time, energy, and fuel when it comes to traveling from one location from another.

If you aim to study your entire sales territory, a CRM, spreadsheet, or notebook is not enough. Even if you use a map in addition to these tools, you still have to plot your customers’ addresses one by one. Not a good way to start your day. This is the main reason that more and more outside sales reps are now using an innovative and super helpful route planner known as the Badger Maps.

Badger Maps is the leading sales routing app in the Apple App Store. With its cutting-edge built-in features, most Badger users have seen a reduction of 20% in their driving time or an equivalent of eight hours a week. This allows you to have more time doing the things that matter most to your business.

Download Badger Maps and create an account. Integrate your customer database to Badger and enjoy seeing your data displayed on an interactive and detailed map. Badger gives you a visualization of your data and its relation to your sales territory. You don’t have to plot your clients’ addresses as Badger shows you their exact location on your map all at the same time. Not only that, but you can assign colors to your clients’ map icons according to different parameters, enabling you to identify your best customers with just one glance.

Badger Maps makes it easier for you to navigate through your sales territory. You can click on the customers you want to meet, and Badger automatically determines the fastest and shortest route. If you have a lot of clients to meet, simply add them to your route map and Badger identifies the best sequence of your trips. It tells you who to meet first, second, third, and so on. You can then save the route map that you just created for later use. This eliminates repetitive tasks. To make things even more convenient for you, you can integrate Badger to your calendar so that your route map will reflect your list of appointments.
