Plan store visits more efficiently
Our Artificial Intelligence combines the scenarios required to calculate routes with shorter travel time and distance while respecting the visit strategy of your operations.
- Employees
- Desired points of sale
- Team’s working time
- Level of service at the stores: working days, number of visits per week, and duration
That’s it! The Smart Router makes an even distribution of visits with the lowest cost and shortest travel time.
Smart Route Planner: check out the results in just one region
A comparison between the new routes - designed with our Smart Route Planner - and the routes manually created by area supervisors, shows that there was a reduction of approximately 20% in distance traveled and 17% in travel time. This increased this field team’s coverage and in-store time, leading to higher quality service for the stores in the target region.

Smart route planning results in more in-store time and less time on the move
One of the main problems with route planning for Trade Marketing teams is the lack of geographical intelligence. Planning routes manually and without much information about the target region increases not only the distance traveled, but also the teams’ travel time and cost, reducing field reps’ productivity.
Ensure the right level of service for each store with our Smart Router
Few points of sale on the route and less in-store time negatively impact your clustering and segmentation strategy. Smart routes ensure the appropriate level of service for your priority customers.
