Business Mapping Software for Warehousing and Storage Operations
Whether you’re running an independent warehousing service or you’re part of a large industrial concern, in warehousing and storage operations, every inch, and every second, counts. Making the best use of your space and your team is essential to running a profitable operation. You likely already rely on powerful software to manage shipments, customer data and other aspects of your business. Online business mapping software such as MapBusinessOnline is another useful tool that can help you run a more effective operation overall.
The benefits of business mapping software to warehouses and distribution centers can be understood best in the context of the larger supply chain. A streamlined supply chain depends on an in-depth knowledge of how to move products and materials quickly from Point A to Point B. With MapBusinessOnline, warehouse and storage facilities can gain similar insights and tailor their services accordingly.
Industrial manufacturing businesses often setup storage facilities that contain raw materials and finished goods. These industrial warehousing services dovetail with transportation systems that feed manufacturing plants what they need, just as they need it; often running 24 hours a day. Business mapping provides a planning platform that can analyze and reanalyze your business system because nothing stays the same for long.

"We used MapPoint for years and desperately needed a replacement solution. This one fits the bill and is actually much better in many ways. Especially in a team environment. We do logistics with routing technicians to jobs for roll outs. This helps our team working thousands of sites over multi month projects. Also, easy to manage licenses for users.
Example business case would be taking 3000 locations, and planning how you will have multiple different technicians visit an area or region of these locations over 3 months. Each visit will take x amount of time. They only work certain hours of the day, and you have to plan in drive time, so the day actually makes sense and the route is efficient."

"Map Business Online is the only tool available that allowed our team the ability to create visual territories by zip code and then export the data into a spreadsheet. We were able to then populate our ERP system with that data/logic and create automated rules based on customer address zip codes. We cut out the manual process of inside sales entering incorrect freight delivery zones upon sales order entry. Now when sales orders are entered, we automatically populate the correct delivery zones that MBO allowed us to create. Ultimately, this is saving our company money and improving efficiency when shipping material to customers.
I highly recommend MBO, and we only have scratched the surface with what the solution can do."

"I have had the pleasure of using MapBusinessOnline for the past 5 years and it is an excellent and affordable tool for my clients. I am a franchise consultant, and many of my clients are just starting to get into franchising. The first main question many of them have is they don’t know the demographics around their current location, so they don’t know how to create territories for their franchisees. I am able to easily utilize MapBusinessOnline to draw a prototype territory around their existing location, do a deep dive into the many different demographics that MapBusinessOnline offers, and help the client determine the basics of their new territories, including mileage, population, household count, purchasing habits and age distributions. This tool has been so helpful that many of our clients obtain their own accounts as they begin to sell franchises and grow their business. Thank you, MapBusinessOnline, for providing such a helpful tool that is affordable and easy to use!"
