Creating Interactive Maps
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.

"We've tried the REST now we are using the BEST. After searching and trying other mapping programs for our delivery operations team and finding that we just couldn't get all the features that we required, we finally found MapBusinessOnline. Not only did it have all the features we needed including Longitude/Latitude and optimizing delivery routes, but it provided us tons of other bells and whistles. MBO proved to be a superb tool for our operations team to create routes and territories with the click of a few buttons while also allowing our reporting team to make beautiful maps that help our executive team visualize the story the data was telling. We are using this for the 2nd year in a row and will be renewing when it is time again. We pride ourselves at offering cutting edge applications to our millions of readers and subscribers worldwide and love that MBO helps us stay ahead of the technology curve by continuing to update their product and features. The release of MBO for the Desktop was a great addition and only helps make using the product even easier. To the staff at MBO — Keep up the great work!"
