With portatour®, the outdated idea that only one person can do territory planning is a thing of the past. By way of example, our solution lets individual regional managers optimize their own territories – a big plus when they need to react quickly to unforeseeable situations such as team members falling sick. Likewise, territory managers know their patch inside out, so they are in a position to spot even more optimization potential than a central planner.
