What Can You Do With Our Drive Time Tool?

MapBusinessOnline drive time software enables you to:

  • Display single or concentric drive time polygons to highlight areas by varying drive times, which can be invaluable for estimating customer proximity to new store locations and defining multiple store operating areas.
  • Search and segment imported mailing lists within highlighted drive time polygons, allowing you to easily and efficiently plan prospecting activities within a specified territory.
  • Look up ZIP codes and Census tracts by drive time polygons — you can focus your efforts on areas with the greatest population/business densities
  • Calculate market penetration within drive time zones, which can result in more efficient call planning.
  • Plan sales trips based on driving proximity from events or hotel locations so your salespeople won’t waste precious time in transit.
  • Share and print drive time maps that can be used to ensure that your salespeople and other members of your team are on the same page from a planning and accountability standpoint.

Query Data and Estimate Driving Requirements with Drive Time Polygons

Do your customers drive long distances to shop at your Store? Or do your traveling technicians need to minimize the time they spend behind the wheel? MapBusinessOnline offers a user-friendly software solution that enables you to visualize coverage areas in terms of driving times. The drive time query creates polygons based on the amount of time it takes to drive in any direction from a central point. Use our drive time planning tool to maximize the effectiveness of your sales or technical staff by minimizing unproductive drive time. Drive time let’s you estimate the most effective use of advertising around your retail locations. If customers are only willing to drive an hour, then advertise to those zip codes within an hour’s drive time.

Easily Create Polygons for Comprehensive Dynamic Drive Time Analysis

MapBusinessOnline provides drive time analysis polygons that highlight an area around a central point like store or your business location based on the vehicle driving times in all directions. Simply select the drive time tool, and place a point on the map. Or enter and search an address. Choose the driving time you would like to display and create the polygon. All drive time estimates are based on the most direct routes across existing road networks.

Learn How Our Customers are Succeeding with MapBusinessOnline

The Alternative Board (TED), an advisory board creation service for business of all types and sizes, used MapPoint to import customer locations, create and manage territories, and for visual market analysis. When MapPoint left them high and dry, they began looking for a MapPoint replacement. This process led them to MapBusinessOnline.

Over a period of a few weeks MapBusinessOnline shared several online web demo that showed exactly how MapBusinessOnline would replace and improve upon the mapping technology TED had become used to. The Alternative Board recently renewed their Map Business Online subscription for another year.

"I use it daily to visualize customers and sales territories, and to plan sales trips. It’s so intuitive."

"We recently switched to Map Business Online at our company. Not only is MBO returning us better results than our old software, but it came with a 3500% decrease in yearly licensing fees! We couldn't be happier with the switch. Excellent ease of use. I was able to just open up the program and go. It's very user friendly. I did get stuck with one feature, and reached out to customer service for help. I didn't really expect to get anything in return, but they emailed me back within the hour, and I was only a trial member! Very pleased."
