TERRITORIES

Create sales territories, monitor business performance by location, or identify trends within a zip code.

It’s amazing what you can learn about the relationship between your locations and customers with a clear visual representation of your data. Try it for yourself and see why more and more businesses are turning to territory mapping to drive decision-making.

Pro Tip: Territories appear as a new Layer Folder in your map sidebar.

DRAW CUSTOM TERRITORIES

Do you have territories that don’t align with zip code or government boundaries? Draw any shape you need, no matter how irregular. As you drag your mouse, watch the distance in miles that appears in the black label next to your shape.

Once you have the right distance, click your mouse again to complete the shape.

Draw as many custom territories as you need in one go. Once you click Done, this series of territories becomes its own Layer Folder in your map sidebar.

ADD TERRITORIES FROM ANOTHER MAP

Don’t re-create the same territories over and over. Instead, import your existing territories in a few clicks, and BAM! You’re ready to analyze your data.

This is a great way to ensure accuracy across the board. Even if you have multiple different maps using different datasets, you can be certain that your territories are identical on every map.
