portatour® is basically my extended brain - I can't do anything without it.

Mäxi Heß is a real one-off: for decades, he worked as an event professional, DJ and presenter throughout Germany - from arenas in Munich to shows with the Kelly Family. At the same time, he was always working in sales with his organization "Welcome Event & Sales Services". When the event industry came to a virtual standstill due to coronavirus, Mäxi decided on a radical change of course: he made food retail his main focus and established and expanded the "Food Retail Sales" division as part of Sales Services. Since then, he has been passionately looking after retail markets - and with a clear message: "Nothing works without portatour®."
I used to spend two hours in the evening planning with Excel, Google Maps and my gut feeling. Today I can do it in under 30 seconds with portatour®.

Mäxi Heß used to torture himself with Excel lists through hundreds of markets, spent hours planning with online route planners and regularly let his own gut feeling rush him through everyday life. Route planning was a daily struggle for him - confusing, annoying and, above all, time-consuming. Today he says: "With portatour®, I can plan my day in less than 30 seconds." And that's no exaggeration, because portatour® has long been more than just a tool for him, as he affirms: "portatour® is basically my extended brain and stays open 24/7." And for someone like Mäxi Heß, who manages three projects at the same time, every minute of time saved is worth its weight in gold.

Mäxi Heß also has a very clear answer to the question about training: "I didn't need any training. Just open the link, enter the data and off you go." That's how simply he describes his introduction to portatour®. His first contact with the software was through a company that was already using the tool - and it quickly became clear to Mäxi that it was here to stay. He was particularly impressed by the support: "When there was a problem, a member of the portatour® team helped me with real patience and always remained friendly and professional. You never forget support like that. Everything was really explained in a foolproof way."
The support was world class. They took a lot of time for me - you never forget that kind of support.

What counts for Mäxi Heß is that a system runs - without him having to know "which circuit board is installed in it - the main thing is that the result is right. And it is. portatour® is foolproof for me and yet very powerful." Clear map view, intuitive operation, well thought-out color coding and a powerful reporting tool with which every call can be tracked. Even complex deployment plans with several projects can be easily managed by the sales professional.
I'm not a tech geek, but I have no problem working with portatour® because it's logical and easy to use.

Mäxi Heß's three favorites are the map function, the reporting and the notes field. On the map, he can see his entire structure of customers at a glance, plan flexibly and react at lightning speed. The reports provide all the details of past jobs, perfect for providing evidence to clients. And he saves everything in the notes field - from business information to personal details: "This is my tool of the trade."
The map, the reports and the notepad - these are the tools of my trade. These are my pliers, my screwdriver, my toolbox.

"portatour® makes my life easy," says Mäxi Heß. "In an industry where you are either overworked or underpaid, the app creates an indispensable anchor." portatour® saves him up to two hours of planning time every day and, above all, the software is easy on his nerves. For someone who is constantly on the move, that is priceless. "There is nothing comparable and certainly nothing better than portatour®," says Mäxi Heß. "You can't compare it with other apps because it's out of competition."
