Some of Maptive's Features
Pin Maps
Easily plot the locations of customers, salespeople, store locations, competitors, suppliers, and more. Adjust the look and color of your pins to differentiate one type of location from another.
Map Filtering Tool
Remove the noise and focus on the data that matters most. Use the filter tool to decide what information to display and what to hide.
Heat Map Generator
Quickly identify the areas where your data is most dense and where it’s sparse. Heat maps are ideal for plotting customers, sales, population numbers, and more.
Route Planning & Optimization
Decrease the amount of time you spend on the road and improve efficiency. Maptive’s route optimizer calculates the quickest route between two or more locations so you can get where you’re going quicker.
Distance Radius
Draw a radius around any location on your map. Just choose a point on the map and select your distance to create it. This is ideal for assigning customers to sales reps or finding competitors near potential store locations.
Boundary and Drawing Tools
Maptive is a powerful sales territory mapping software system. Create territories based on established boundaries, such as zip codes, counties, and states. Or draw custom territories based on the needs of your business.
Real-Time Collaboration
Because Maptive is cloud-based, maps can be updated in real-time by multiple people.
Drive Time Polygons
Determine how far you can travel in a certain period of time using the drive time polygon generation tool. This tool is great for determining service areas, commute times and to aid in the site selection process.
Powered by Google Maps
Maptive is built on top of Google Maps’ platform. This gives you the benefit of Google’s best features, including their global coverage and mapping accuracy, while also providing you with a number of tools that aren’t available through their free tool.
