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.
