Territory management: definition

Territory management is an organizational process that helps sales, logistics, and technical teams define and visualize their field area of activity. It takes into account geographic data, account types, market factors, and customer data, while identifying any potential dysfunctions present within the territory.

Territory management solutions enable companies to optimize the management of customer portfolios, whether for visits, deliveries, or interventions. They distribute field resources in a fair and optimal manner.

Why is it useful to create balanced sales territories? First, if a territory is poorly covered, teams do not work efficiently — particularly due to intervention locations that are too far apart. This causes them to lose time and prospects. Conversely, if too many team members are covering the same area, activity is not optimal and sales are consequently reduced.

Territory management helps optimize the distribution of work by dividing intervention areas according to different criteria. An increase in revenue and in the number of daily visits can be observed by allocating resources optimally. The direct benefits of territory management are:

Reduction of operational costs
Productivity gains
Customer satisfaction
Improved working conditions

Territory management: why it matters for your teams

Territory management brings numerous advantages to your teams:

More strategic territory coverage: by defining balanced territories for your teams in advance, they become significantly more productive and no longer compete with one another in the field.
Increased selling time: by having territories defined in advance, teams spend more time with your customers selling your products and services.
Balanced workload: territory management makes it possible to distribute your teams’ work fairly.
Stronger customer satisfaction: better territory management can help your teams spend more time with your customers and visit them more frequently. In the long run, your customers will only be more satisfied as a result.

Beyond its many strategic advantages, implementing a territory management system also brings your teams considerably more enthusiasm and motivation. Each person has their own territory and knows the tasks they need to carry out to optimize their performance and sales objectives.

Territory Manager is a web-based solution hosted directly in the cloud. It requires no specific installation or updates on the user’s workstation. Ergonomic by design, it is straightforward and intuitive to get started with.

Thanks to Territory Manager, sales managers and decision-makers can easily define their omnichannel strategies in order to improve the productivity of their teams and increase their company’s revenue.

This makes it easier to make strategic decisions, such as opening or closing points of sale, for example. Whether it is a store, a depot, or an agency, it is possible to evaluate the consequences and the impact of this decision on revenue and the workload of teams.

Territory Manager offers a range of features:

Calculation of all geographic zones: also known as an isochrone zone, it is established on the basis of various criteria such as communication routes or modes of transport. It makes it possible to define an entire zone sharing the same travel time to the same location.
The impact of relocating a site: it is possible to study in advance the repercussions of relocating a site, based on new objectives, by analyzing sales volume or the workload of team members, for example.
Optimization of mobile employees’ workload: Territory Manager can define the workload of resources in order to optimize their areas of intervention. You can assign an intervention perimeter to a resource while distributing the workload fairly among the rest of the teams assigned to the site.
Multimodal transport: this feature takes into account the different types of travel a team member may undertake within their area (on foot, by truck, by car, etc.). Furthermore, depending on the time period or the destination, it is possible to adapt the vehicle speed accordingly.
