Our geolocation tools make it easy to locate customers and field staff. Managers can quickly and easily create a DSD sales route based on the locations of their customers and assign the route to employees. Route frequency can be customized by day of the month, day of the week, and/or week of the month. Routes can be calculated for the fastest one way or round trip commutes. By default the route will calculate a driving route and one can opt to avoid highways and toll roads. If reps are trying to avoid automobile traffic in dense urban areas, the setting can be changed to calculate a route for walking or biking. Check out this quick tutorial on creating routes.
After creating and assigning territories, management can test how efficient the routes are by using the tracking tool.

If one selects a previous date, the pin on the map with drop at the last known GPS location the staff person visited. For easy step by step instructions, read this tracking guide.
