There’s a seemingly limitless variety of service businesses across North America. They can be large or small, old or new. Many service businesses share a common need for business mapping software to improve and inform their operational, sales and marketing processes.

Operational Applications – Service organizations tend to support field operations. In addition to outside sales people, service organizations support vehicle fleets for repair work, delivery or installation technicians. Often the business simply provides services at the consumer’s home address.

Map Business Online helps businesses manage their field support in multiple ways:

You’ll find your field people can fit more customers into their days through improved productivity and resource management

• Review customer and field staff locations to determine assignments, availability and access growth. Service availability maps can be shared with customers too
• Vehicle routing functionality, shared throughout the company, controls expense submissions. You set the rules about travel compensation. A business map shows them the way while verifying travel expense submittals
• Drive time maps can establish guidelines for service deliveries. Set windshield time limits on your field force. MBO drive time can establish clear map boundaries that define driving extent times along all roads in all directions. Limit their driving time to one hour. No more wandering technicians lost all afternoon while they search for a location.
