New Release: 4 Ways Maptitude 2016 Saves You Time & Money

Maptitude 2016 is now shipping and provides actionable solutions for your business problems, saving you time and money. Here are 4 key areas where Maptitude 2016 will prove critical for your organization:

1. Territories: Define and modify your sales territories based on geography, demographics, or your corporate revenue or customer distribution.

Example: One of the big issues facing the franchise industry is providing fair and balanced "protected" franchisee territories. You want to maximize market potential while avoiding cannibalizing the sales of an existing location. But you may also need to establish such boundaries clearly, to adhere to the legalities of a franchise agreement. Maptitude allows you to track and balance as many columns of data as you want, allowing you to better establish, justify, and defend profitable territories.

2. Routing: Even small reductions in transportation time or cost can add up to big savings. Delivery services know this well, and require efficient fleet management to stay competitive. Maptitude performs route analysis to optimize delivery routes that minimize logistics costs.

Example: A delivery driver may make multiple deliveries per shift, where each destination has varying stop times, may require rest stops, and based on vehicle type has varying speed constraints and fuel costs. Maptitude can handle these scenarios and uses sophisticated algorithms that ensure that vehicles take the most time- and energy-efficient routes while making multiple deliveries.

3. Reports: Studies have shown that color can better inform understanding of data and that full-color maps in a report increase comprehension*. In Maptitude 2016 you can quickly and intuitively create high-quality reports for Microsoft Office Excel or as a PDF.

4. Software and Data: Many MapPoint users have switched to Maptitude, but there is still widespread use of MapPoint. Using MapPoint is detrimental to your business operations and destroys the credibility of your reports because the data you are using was outdated even at the time of release. Maptitude 2016 ships with the most up-to-date geographic and demographic information available. Maptitude also includes all the key features and tools of MapPoint (more...).

	Evaluating underserved markets that warrant campus expansion. Tracking the growth of competitors' programs. - Dave R.		I've used the software for a very wide range of business problems.

More sophisticated uses include retail site analysis. - Nick N.

Featured Maptitude Map: Top States for Craft Beer Drinkers

Craft breweries are defined by the Brewers Association as independent breweries that produce fewer than 6 million barrels of beer per year using traditional or innovative brewing ingredients. Craft beer production in the United States has doubled in the last 10 years and now accounts for 18% of U.S. beer production.

As of 2014 there were 3,418 craft breweries in the United State, and the majority of Americans lived within 10 miles of a craft brewery. But for craft beer lovers, certain states stand out for their concentration of breweries. The map below shows the concentration of breweries per 100,000 adults. You can see that craft breweries have proliferated in the northern corners of the country, with the greatest concentration in Vermont (8.6 per 100,000 adults) and Oregon (7.4 per 100,000 adults).
