Reach your sales goals by focusing your work on important clients.
Use the route planner portatour® to visit A, B, and C customers at the right frequency. portatour® automatically selects whom to call while also optimizing the driving route.
Customers with high priority are included more often. No one is forgotten, letting you implement your sales strategy consistently and successfully.
Every business partner is different: business hours, call frequency, planned holidays and duration of your visit can be maintained for each customer and are individually included in portatour's® calculations.
Scheduled appointments from your calendar are guaranteed to be included in the schedule. Gaps in your calendar are efficiently filled by portatour® with suggested stops. This way, you'll visit the right customer at the right time.
The portatour® solution integrates with Microsoft Dynamics® CRM (2011, 2013, 2015, 2016, 365) and synchronizes your existing accounts, contacts, leads and appointments for route optimization. You won't have to worry about importing/exporting data to/from an isolated solution.
You can also enjoy the benefits of Microsoft Dynamics® CRM: Access possible from any web browser, centralised user management, individual access rights, customizable forms and low maintenance.
You…
You will come to value the help of portatour® in sales-route planning the more complex your planning needs are. This increases with the number of addresses to be visited daily, with different frequencies according to importance and the restricted visiting hours.

When does your working day start? Where do you start? Do you take breaks? How long do you work? The route planning algorithm takes your personal way of working into account.
Serve large areas with distant locations efficiently: portatour® plans intelligent tours with overnight stays to reduce long travel times. Your preferences, such as your favorite hotels or the days you want to stay home, are naturally taken into account.

Drive the racing car of route planners. At the push of a button, portatour® puts together an optimized schedule within seconds.
portatour® takes its processing power from the portatour® server farm, which brings together many high-performance servers that provide a performance multiplier, when compared to laptop or smartphone processors.
From millions of possibilities, the algorithm provides a mileage-optimized proposed schedule with up to 125 customer visits per week, intelligently selected from up to 1,000 active addresses within a territory.
You know as well as anyone: no matter how well planned a schedule is, unplanned changes happen in the course of the day: unexpected waiting times, contacts who don't show up or who don't have time, urgent appointments that need to be squeezed in, not to mention traffic congestion; all of which can mess up a carefully planned schedule.
Now you can respond at the push of a button and portatour® will update your schedule for the rest of the day starting from your current location. You can customize your schedule at any time by dropping proposed visits or adding additional dates.
See all of your accounts, contacts and leads on a map. Where are contacts who haven't been visited in a long time? What schedule is the route planner proposing for the coming days?
Take advantage of free time between appointments. Find surrounding customers who are open and stop in for a spontaneous visit.
Find your bearings with digital street maps that are updated regularly. The maps are included at no extra charge in portatour® – without having the hassle of third party licenses.
Good news for sales representatives who prefer to "travel light": You can leave your laptop at home! Your mobile will be all you need for route planning going forward.
portatour® turns any smartphone into a personal sales-route planner that automatically synchronizes with Microsoft Dynamics® CRM. You can update your itinerary at any point during your day by just tapping a button. Mobile access to account and appointment data with built-in call reporting are additional features of portatour®.

portatour® can be used for centralized, decentralized and combined route planning. Decentralized planning means that the field reps plan their routes themselves using portatour®. This is the most common way portatour® is used, as – especially in field sales – it is particularly important to adjust when appointments change and flexibly satisfy client needs (more information in this article). Centralized planning is the case when back-office staff uses portatour® to plan routes for the field rep team. A combined method is possible: back-office arranges appointments and creates an initial plan which is then adapted dynamically by the field reps who also use portatour® to fill gaps with additional visits.
