Maplytics just got a HUGE upgrade to Territory Management!

Maplytics now comes with Enhanced Territory Management that’s all about making your Geo-Mapping task easier and your CRM data smarter.

Here’s what’s in store for you:

• Effortlessly create balanced territories based on any numeric factor—like sales, revenue, or customer count. No more guesswork!
• Build & visualize custom territory views using the filters you love. See your territories exactly how you want, what you want, and when you want.
• Organize like a pro by categorizing territories based on owners or custom fields. Say goodbye to chaos.
• Save your regions or drawn shapes as draft territories for later tweaks or quick reuse. It’s like bookmarking your genius ideas.

Additionally, we’ve been listening to your feedback, and we’re thrilled to announce some updates that are going to make your Maplytics experience even better.

Advanced Categorization!

Think of this as organizing your closet but for your map data. You can now easily group and manage your information with even more flexibility. Imagine being able to see all your “high-priority customers” or “records with the highest revenue” with just a click. The idea is that your data should work for you, not vice versa.

Next, we’ve given our Live Tracking a serious upgrade!

We’ve made it smarter and more efficient for your field reps. Now, you can monitor their progress with enhanced live tracking within Dynamics 365 and a refreshed app. It’s like having a real-time window into your field operations, helping you keep things running smoothly.

And finally, you can now plot external data on your maps!

Got a bunch of data in an Excel file?

No problem!

You can now upload your data directly into Maplytics and visualize it on your map. This is perfect for analyzing trends, spotting patterns, and getting a deeper understanding of your data.

We’re all about making Maplytics as user-friendly and powerful as possible. We want to give you the app you need to make smarter decisions and get things done faster.
