VIENNA, February 25, 2025 – The topic of territory planning often makes sales managers break out in a cold sweat. With portatour® Territory Optimization, the Viennese software manufacturer impactit GmbH ensures that the people involved can take a much more relaxed approach to the topic. Thanks to considerable savings in mileage, time and costs as well as powerful SaaS performance, portatour® territory optimization works in a matter of seconds. It also offers flexible customization options for all eventualities of dayto-day field service. portatour® now goes one step further and, as a world first, also enables a realistic look into the future.

An end to wasted working hours

Whether customer calls are profitable or not depends on many factors. Circumstances such as the distance from the home location of the field rep, a solitary location in the territory or neighboring customers with different business hours and call interval can lead to disproportionately high driving times. Whether the relationship between time spent in the car and the length of a customer call is moving in the wrong direction is often not immediately apparent. Viewed over an entire financial year, this often means hundreds of working hours that cause costs instead of generating turnover. This is where portatour® 's territory planning comes in and creates a driving time per customer on request. The software calculates and informs you promptly about the particularly inefficient cases.

More Efficiency through interval adjustment

portatour® Territory Optimization uses a complex algorithm to determine the driving time proportion per customer. On map, you can quickly see which customers generate a particularly large amount of driving time, marked in color. Instead of rescheduling or moving customer back and forth between field reps, it can lead to massive improvements to adjust call intervals in order to visit customers, whose drive is very high, more efficiently in the long term. portatour® Territory Optimization calculates immediately the saved driving time and also, for example, a year in advance. In this way, the company takes a realistic look into the future thanks to precise drive and saves money, fuel and time.
