Sales And Distribution Management

 An effective territory beat plan is one of the most important aspects of FMCG sales and distribution management since it prevents wastage of time and effort.



At FieldAssist, one of our key features is to assist organizations to redesign their territory plan on the Sales force automation solution such that field executives can optimize their visits and cover a larger territory in the same business time.

Once the territory planning is complete, managers can allocate time to each of their field visits and develop an effective route map for the week that covers the entire list of outlets to be covered.

With an even distribution of outlets in each territory, field executives are happier to follow the route plan.

A well-thought-out territory management plan, therefore, ensure that the organization provides clarity, helps build focus within teams, and achieves maximum efficiency levels from their field forces while optimizing travel and time costs.
