Route Optimization Built for Retail Brands
BeatRoute’s Route Optimization Software is purpose-built for enterprise retail sales operations that need to balance complex territory structures with frontline efficiency. It automates the planning of beat routes by taking into account multiple real-world variables like visit goals, visit windows, rep shift timings and outlet class.
Instead of relying on intuition or outdated spreadsheets, sales leaders use BeatRoute to:
- Rebalance overloaded and underutilized territories.
- Segment outlets based on business impact.
- Configure visit schedules for maximum ROI.
- Push optimized beat plans to the field for execution.
The system also allows for campaign overlays (like product launches or audits) and helps brands simulate different staffing or coverage scenarios before rollout.
Business Impact of Route Optimization
Optimizing routes has a direct and measurable impact on the cost and effectiveness of retail distribution. Enterprises using BeatRoute report:
- 15-20% reduction in travel time and fuel costs
- Higher rep productivity through increased store coverage
- Better territory alignment leading to fair workload distribution
When territory planning is done right, brands see gains not just in operational efficiency, but in sales uplift and customer satisfaction as well.
Impact Delivered for Other Customers
BeatRoute’s Route Optimization has been successfully deployed across FMCG, consumer goods, and building materials sectors. One standout example is Perfetti Van Melle, a global confectionery leader, which used BeatRoute to overhaul its territory structure and route plans across multiple cities.
