Every Field Hour Should Drive Business Goals
Without effective tracking, businesses can't distinguish productive field time from idle time, verify whether field plans are being followed, or identify execution gaps before they impact business goals. As a result, field productivity suffers even when teams remain active throughout the day.
BeatRoute solves this by providing real-time visibility into routes, visits, field activities, and execution progress. You always know whether teams are following the plan, using their time productively, and executing as intended.
Plan

Structured Day Plans
Every rep walks in knowing which outlets to hit, in what order, and why, before they head out.

Geo-Sequenced Routes
Lock the visit order on each beat so reps cover routes the way they were planned, not the way that is most convenient.

Geo-Fenced Attendance
Clock-ins and per-beat activity targets tied to real ground presence, attendance only counts inside the territory.

Verified Visit Capture
Switch on GPS-verified visit capture for outlets, territories, or rep groups where you need strict proof of presence.

Role-Based Scorecards
Define scorecards per role and KPI so every rep, TSM, and manager knows exactly what they are measured on.

Hierarchy & Approvals
Model your reporting structure and approval chains so escalations route to the right person every time.
Execute

GPS Check-Ins
Every check-in carries location and timestamp, managers see when and where reps were on ground.

Photo-Proof Visits
Reps capture geo-tagged photo proof of every visit, so outlet coverage can be audited any time.

Offline Capture, Auto-Sync
Reps keep working in low-connectivity zones; activities, orders, and proofs sync automatically once they reconnect.

Lead Assignment & Pipeline
Push leads to the right reps, track stage-wise progress, and follow up until each opportunity closes or qualifies out.

AI Visit Prioritization
The Scheduling AI Agent ranks outlets by potential and conversion likelihood so reps spend the day where revenue actually moves.

Multi-Role Goal Tracking
Promoters, TSMs, merchandisers, goals and progress for every field role on a single screen, not stitched across reports.
Measure

Coverage & Time on Ground
Plan adherence, outlet coverage, and productive hours per rep, see exactly where execution is strong or slipping.

Plan vs. Actual
Surface gaps between planned and actual visits, with productive calls flagged for targeted coaching.

Productivity by Activity
Slice productivity by activity type, frequency, and outcome, understand what your best reps actually do differently.

Outlet-Level KPIs
Track total order value, MSL percentage, and other KPIs down to the customer level for outlet-wise contribution.

Copilot Nudges

Read moreFrequently Asked Questions
Is sales force tracking about monitoring reps?
No, and framing it that way is why reps work around it. A geo-verified, time-stamped visit is proof that protects the rep's incentive at month end, and it carries the next action for that outlet.
Does sales force tracking work without a network?
Yes. Visits, orders and photos are captured offline and sync when signal returns, so a route through a dead spot is still a complete record.
Can it tell a productive visit from a logged one?
Yes. Planned against actual, productive against unproductive, so coaching targets the rep who needs help rather than the one with the fewest kilometres.
Does it cover promoters and merchandisers too?
Yes. Reps, promoters, merchandisers and managers run on one platform with their own goals rather than separate apps.
How does it help settle incentive disputes?
Payouts are calculated against verified visits and orders, so what a rep earned is evidenced rather than argued.
