Business Mapping - Pin Maps
We’re all familiar with the old-fashioned pin wall maps that place pushpins or map tacks on specific locations. Now you can easily create an interactive pin map for business using software that performs the exact same function — but with greater speed and efficiency.
With the pin mapping tools included in MapBusinessOnline, you can plot huge amounts of data in no time at all. You’ll be able to more clearly visualize the opportunities — and challenges — that are currently hiding in your sales/marketing territories.
How to Make a Pin Map
MapBusinessOnline makes creating a pin map for business a fast and easy process — using the data you’ve already accumulated on Excel spreadsheets like customer addresses or warehouse locations. You decide which datasets you wish to plot and analyze. Use color-coded pins to identify and compare different subsets of data.
For example, you could use blue pins to represent your customers and red pins to identify your prospects within a specific geographic area or zip code. Just use our mapping software to import and upload your Excel data to instantly transform it into an easy-to-read interactive web-map you can share with your colleagues.
Pin Maps Bring Your Spreadsheet Data to Life
Our user-friendly pin mapping tools convert lines of indistinguishable spreadsheet data into an interactive map that brings the data to colorful life. Use it to enhance your location awareness, which allows you to better understand and visualize the customer sales, prospects and competitor locations around your business.
A key advantage of using our software to create an interactive pin map is that it enables you to more clearly see clusters of activity as heat maps. This is particularly helpful for identifying areas where you’ve already achieved market saturation, or where competitors are threatening to grab some of your market share.

Learn How Our Customers are Succeeding with MapBusinessOnline
The Alternative Board (TED), an advisory board creation service for business of all types and sizes, used MapPoint to import customer locations, create and manage territories, and for visual market analysis. When MapPoint left them high and dry, they began looking for a MapPoint replacement. This process led them to MapBusinessOnline.
Over a period of a few weeks MapBusinessOnline shared several online web demo that showed exactly how MapBusinessOnline would replace and improve upon the mapping technology TED had become used to. The Alternative Board recently renewed their Map Business Online subscription for another year.

"I have been using MapBusinessOnline for about 8 months and couldn’t be happier with the services it provides. I have employees and myself who map around 250 routes monthly for our sales team. The interface is easy-to-use and the abilities are exactly what I need. My sales team finds the maps and step by step routes easy to follow and accurate. My store lists change every quarter and the uploading system allows me to quickly upload a new list and categorize the account by priority using colors and shapes. I have also used the heat mapping capabilities and found those easy to customize and quick to use. As with any advanced software, this does take a week or two to learn the more complex features, but it is well worth the time invested. This is the software I would have designed if I was to create one myself. Great job!!!"

"I have had the pleasure of using MapBusinessOnline for the past 5 years and it is an excellent and affordable tool for my clients. I am a franchise consultant, and many of my clients are just starting to get into franchising. The first main question many of them have is they don’t know the demographics around their current location, so they don’t know how to create territories for their franchisees. I am able to easily utilize MapBusinessOnline to draw a prototype territory around their existing location, do a deep dive into the many different demographics that MapBusinessOnline offers, and help the client determine the basics of their new territories, including mileage, population, household count, purchasing habits and age distributions. This tool has been so helpful that many of our clients obtain their own accounts as they begin to sell franchises and grow their business. Thank you, MapBusinessOnline, for providing such a helpful tool that is affordable and easy to use!"
