The Steps for Successful Sales Territory and Sales Representative Area Planning:
1. Kick-off Meeting and Data Transfer
We clarify all the important questions. Afterwards, you send us your current territory plan as an Excel file:
- How would you like to have the territory divided: Into new areas? Less areas? Areas with equal potential or workload?
- For which countries, regions, provinces/cantons do you need territories?
- What is the goal of the new plan?
- Which geographical basis do you want to use to divide the territory: Zip Codes, municipalities, counties/districts, custom?
- Are there any restrictions, e.g. existing customer relationships?
2. Status Quo: Your Sales Structures on the Map
From this point forward, we take over. We display your current structures on the map:
- Locations of the employees
- Locations of the customers and their assignment to the respective employee
- Current assignment according to ZIP Code or other spatial structures
This shows: Are the sales territories compact and efficient? Do they look like a patchwork like in the example picture? Are the territories comparable in terms of workload and potential?
3. Analysis and New Territory Planning
This process can be carried out in multiple steps, depending on your requirements. We run through different scenarios and determine a sensible plan for your sales territories and sales representative areas:
- Automatic planning for existing structures: Optimize areas. Divide or dissolve areas.
- Manual planning for existing structures: Optimize critical points. Change/rename area names. Inheriting areas.
- Greenfield planning: First establishment of regional structures: You are opening up a new market and would like to divide it for example between 10 sales representatives.
4. Presentation of the sales territories, final adjustments, Excel file with the new structure
Now you come back into play. We provide you with our proposal for the new territory plan as a digital, interactive map for 2 months. The tool runs in the WIGeoGIS Cloud. No installation necessary!
In the WebGIS tool you can edit the sales territories yourself, for example assign customers to other employees. When you have agreed on the territory plan with your colleagues, we will provide you with your new sales structure as an Excel file for transfer to your IT systems.

Tip: Good Territory Planning Requires Good Data - We Can Help!
One of the main challenges of territory planning is missing or inaccurate data. A complete, well-organized database is the prerequisite for planning sales territories and sales representative areas.
An ingenious trick for bringing order to the mountains of data is so-called geocoding. Here, addresses are assigned X/Y coordinates, i.e. an exact point on the map. This point is always valid and independent of ZIP Codes, municipalities and country borders. This means the territory planning regularly carried out by management can be done much more easily. Should the ZIP Codes or borders change, the new administrative structures can be transferred with a single click on your sales territory and sales representative structure.
Geocoding your address data is always part of our service, regardless of whether you wish to visualize territories for sales and sales representatives, analyze territories or divide territories for sales and sales representatives.
