PTV Field Service Management Software

Having an efficient and effective sales force is indispensable in the "fast-moving consumer goods" (FMCG) or "consumer packaged goods" (CPG) sector. Your sales employees ensure that your goods are available where your customers shop for them. Moreover, they check that POS displays are attractive and well-placed and plan upcoming campaigns and promotions for their territory with store managers.

PTV Map&Market helps you identify untapped sales potential, determine ideal branches for campaigns, and create optimized visit itineraries. It even allows you to pinpoint where sales representatives should live to ensure ideal market coverage with the shortest possible travel distances. This way, the tool enables you to ensure that your sales workforce performs optimally.

Economic success in the retail and trade sector is based on making the right strategic decisions – ideal store locations, warehouse distribution and an optimal flow of goods are key. Where should you open a new branch to gain access to a new catchment area, while avoiding cannibalization with an already existing branch?

You need to know where consumers, competitors, your warehouses and branches are located. Lists and tables aggregate data, but they don’t help you gain a quick overview of all relevant information. What you need is a well-structured map that visualizes demographic and geographical data.

The field management and retail location planning software PTV Map&Market offers you the right tools for analysis, visualization and optimization for your site planning. This way, you avoid wrong investments and are closer to your customers.

Less possibilities for price fixing, increased advertising spending for both branded products and generics, more online retailing - competition in the OTC and RX sectors is increasingly growing. Drugstores and perfumeries, too, are under great pressure as they fiercely compete with online businesses. In this competitive environment, the higher quality customer service and support your sales representatives are able to provide, the better.

The software supports you in optimizing territories, campaigns and itineraries. Like no other tool, it masters the complex field service management of pharmaceutical companies. 

Determining optimal delivery districts and planning the distribution of print and postal products as well as advertising publications is complex. Why? Because in addition to maps with detailed displays of street segments and exact house numbers, you also need to plan schedules and driving routes for your delivery staff. The transparency of delivery quality also plays a major role.

PTV Map&Market provides you with sophisticated software for delivery and distribution planning of print and postal products, advertising journals and household advertising. It eliminates the need for detours and time-consuming searches for the right address. Plan house number-specific and fine-grained walking and pickup routes for your advertising and newspaper delivery staff and service personnel. The result: They find the right door without wasting time.

Especially in times of exploding fuel prices, geo-optimised field service scheduling is important in order to save costs without reducing the quality of customer service. PTV Map&Market supports you in this: With the software, you plan transparent and compact territories for your field staff as well as optimized itineraries that can actually be completed. As a result, your employees are able to make more visits per day and also arrive on time and more relaxed at your customers.
