Simulate resource needs before allocation
Stronger visit compliance with fewer missed visits
⊢Trusted by category leaders worldwide⊣
Every route should maximize market coverage and selling time
Every week, field teams lose up to 22% of productive selling hours because territories and beat plans are created without accounting for travel time, rep offs, and customer availability.
As a result, territories become unbalanced, market coverage shrinks, productive selling time is lost to unnecessary travel, and field teams struggle to execute the plan consistently.
BeatRoute solves this by optimizing territories and building executable beat plans around real-world field conditions and business goals. The result is better market coverage, more productive selling time, and execution-ready field plans.
Plan
Segment outlets by geography, density, and visit targets
Group outlets by location, density, and visit targets so every beat plan reflects the real shape of your territory.
Apply visit frequency, priority tags, and business rules
Layer in visit frequency, priority tags, and business rules so each outlet is covered at the right cadence.
Add outlet holidays, visit windows, and duration constraints
Capture outlet holidays, preferred visit windows, and duration limits so plans respect real-world store availability.
Set rep shifts, weekly offs, and daily capacity limits
Define rep shifts, weekly offs, and daily capacity so routes stay realistic for the people who actually walk them.
Simulate rep requirement across territories before rollout
Model rep requirements across territories before rollout so you size the field force right the first time.
Auto-generate weekly beat plans without manual planning
Let the engine auto-generate weekly beat plans so planners stop juggling spreadsheets and start running coverage.
Execute
Sync weekly beat plans to each rep's Field Sales App
Push every rep's weekly beat plan straight to their Field Sales App so day-one execution is clear and consistent.
Prioritize outlet visits for daily route using geo sequencing
Sequence each day's outlets by geography and priority so reps spend less time travelling and more time selling.
Log visit completion and outcomes to track visit compliance
Capture visit completion and outcomes in-app so compliance is tracked at the source, not reconstructed after the fact.
Monitor visit adherence using real-time GPS tracking
Track visit adherence in real time with GPS so managers see how routes are actually playing out on the ground.
Receive alerts for missed, delayed, or out-of-sequence visits
Get instant alerts for missed, delayed, or out-of-sequence visits so issues are fixed in the moment, not in review.
Adjust visit order based on rep availability or on-ground changes
Adjust visit order on the fly when reps are unavailable or conditions change, keeping the plan aligned with reality.
Measure
Compare planned vs. actual visits using GPS and timestamps
Compare planned vs. actual visits with GPS and timestamps to see where coverage is solid and where it slips.
Monitor visit compliance by outlet class, priority, and frequency
Break down visit compliance by outlet class, priority, and frequency to pinpoint exactly which segments need attention.
Identify missed visits, under-served zones, or rep overload
Surface missed visits, under-served zones, and overloaded reps so managers can rebalance coverage before it costs sales.
Simulate beat plan changes for better effort distribution
Simulate beat plan changes before pushing them live so effort is distributed where it actually moves the needle.
Estimate rep requirement based on evolving outlet data
Re-estimate rep requirements as outlet data evolves so headcount keeps pace with the changing market.
Export performance dashboards or sync insights to analytics tools
Export performance dashboards or sync insights into your analytics stack so route data flows into the wider business view.
