MapBusinessOnline gives users the ability to create interactive maps that let you manipulate data in near real-time. Interactive maps are a powerful presentation tool and a great way to test out different scenarios when working through an idea. Whether you're making a pitch to upper management or mapping out new sales territories, our interactive features create an advanced platform for viewing and manipulating data in a geographic context.

How It Works

The key to MapBusinessOnline's ability to create interactive maps is its seamless integration with your existing data. MapBusinessOnline integrates directly with with SalesForce, while offering an easy export/import interoperability with QuickBooks, Excel and other common enterprise platforms, easily importing up-to-date datasets containing sales records and other business intelligence. Users can then plot this information on a map, draw up custom territories to compare one region to another, or even access demographic information from official census and third-party sources.

MapBusinessOnline includes several features and functionalities that help you create customized interactive maps. With it, you can:

  • Highlight data and geographic elements with a range of map visualization and symbolization options
  • Design custom labels and callouts that provide context to the data presented in your map
  • Color-code your map by zip code, city, county or state to differentiate between distinct regions and business units
  • Export maps into presentation-ready image file or PDF formats
  • Use the application itself to present
  • Share and collaborate remotely while maintaining data and file integrity

Benefits of Interactive Maps

Interactive mapping software is more than just a presentation tool. While the ability to create attractive, eye-catching custom maps can be incredibly useful when advocating for new ideas or initiatives, it's also essential for strategy development and testing out different scenarios, as your visualization workshop adjusts and fine tunes their marketing, sales or planning. Interactive maps help with:

  • Sales territory management: Using an interactive map, you can see which areas are meeting their benchmarks and which are underperforming, and assign resources appropriately.
  • Market analysis: With an interactive map, you can drill down on demographic information in a specific area, filtering out unwanted factors to develop more targeted advertising and sales plans.
  • Site selection: An interactive map lets you test out potential sites for a new location or business expansion, and look at factors such as area demographics, real estate pricing, competition location and more.
  • Route planning: MapBusinessOnline's interactive mapping software is ideal for route planning. With it, you can see where your customers or clients are and while securing the most efficient way to get from point A to point B.

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.

The Alternative Board

"We use MBO for event planning at cities all across the USA. It’s easy and fast. It blows away the other applications we tried."

"We used MapPoint for years and desperately needed a replacement solution. This one fits the bill and is actually much better in many ways. Especially in a team environment. We do logistics with routing technicians to jobs for roll outs. This helps our team working thousands of sites over multi month projects. Also, easy to manage licenses for users.

Example business case would be taking 3000 locations, and planning how you will have multiple different technicians visit an area or region of these locations over 3 months. Each visit will take x amount of time. They only work certain hours of the day, and you have to plan in drive time, so the day actually makes sense and the route is efficient."
