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.

"We quickly grew from a one location small-business to a franchised business with 8 locations across the country. After selling our first few franchises, I realized I needed a way to map out a potential franchisee's territory. Initially I just wanted to be able to create territories based on drive time from an address, which is easy to do with MapBusinessOnline. What I didn't know I needed was the ability to export census data, including information on other dog related business, which is very helpful!"
