While many features of a field sales management tool may be common, it’s the rare ones that shed light on longstanding issues often relegated to silos. Imagine the challenge of optimizing routes for field sales agents based on their historical data—where would one even begin?
You’d typically open your application, gather around 1000 data points for the day, and commence analysis to identify optimization areas. But that’s merely the beginning of crafting an optimized route. To truly achieve foolproof route optimization backed by informed data, you’d need to repeat this process for 30 consecutive days across all your field sales agents.
What if I told you that breezeFSM allows you to accomplish this within minutes?
That’s where we step in as your rare and impactful solution for all things field sales. While we don’t often boast, our product team provides us with ample reasons to be proud.
This feature alone can be a game-changer, distinguishing breezeFSM from many other field sales management tools.
Imagine sales managers having access to a dynamic route optimization platform that not only maps out agents’ daily itineraries but also offers a consolidated overview of their coverage over a 30-day period.
The dynamics shift significantly here. As our team engaged with clients to understand their needs, we recognized the arduous task faced by managers in tracking each day’s route for every salesman and analyzing the data. Picture a company with 20,000 field sales agents across a vast country like India—the process becomes not only time-consuming but also delays strategy formulation, implementation, and informed decision-making.
Therefore, our product team devised a solution that is not only intuitive but also scalable.
Viewing 30 days of route maps in a single view is now achievable.
Although territories may be geofenced to sales agents, there’s always a chance they might miss visiting all the required locations. Hence, it’s imperative to track their routes. For a sales manager, manually checking routes for 20,000 agents every day is impractical. Thus, we developed a solution that simplifies this process.
Now, sales managers can review route reports using heatmaps on the map, identifying agents’ routes over 30 days in a single view.
This feature benefits businesses in several ways:
Identifying areas with the highest client numbers
It allows for tailored sales efforts. Sales managers can zoom in on the routes taken by agents on the map, and the satellite view will display the actual locations visited by clients. This insight helps in planning sales efforts more effectively according to the concentration of clients in specific areas.
Fuel cost savings
By viewing all routes at once, sales managers can potentially find better routes to save significant costs. Optimizing routes leads to reduced fuel consumption and operational expenses, contributing to overall cost efficiency.
Comprehensive analysis
Managers can conduct a thorough analysis of sales activities, customer visits, and territory coverage over time. This insight enables them to identify patterns, trends, and areas for improvement based on past performance, facilitating data-driven decision-making.
Performance evaluation
Access to historical route data allows managers to assess the performance of individual sales representatives or the entire sales team. They can identify strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement, leading to more effective coaching and training initiatives.
Strategic planning
With a complete overview of sales routes for the month, managers can make informed decisions and develop strategic plans for optimizing sales territories, assigning resources, and setting targets for the future. This strategic alignment ensures that sales efforts are aligned with organizational goals and objectives.
Resource allocation
By analyzing route data for the entire month, managers can identify high-potential areas or underperforming regions and allocate resources accordingly. This ensures that sales efforts are focused where they are most likely to yield results, maximizing productivity and revenue generation.
Performance monitoring
By monitoring sales routes on a monthly basis, managers can track progress towards sales targets, identify deviations from plans, and take proactive measures to address any issues that arise. This proactive approach helps in maintaining sales performance and course-correcting as needed to achieve desired outcomes.
Data-driven decision-making
Having access to comprehensive route data empowers managers to make data-driven decisions based on real-time insights and historical trends. This leads to more effective sales strategies, better resource allocation, and improved business outcomes overall.
