eSpatial

What eSpatial is

eSpatial is a mapping and territory-planning product for turning spreadsheet and CRM location data into interactive maps. Sales, marketing, revenue operations, and operations teams can use heat maps, pin maps, filters, distance measurement, and proximity or radius analysis to explore business patterns. Territory design can be balanced around workload, travel time, revenue, or account count, with scenario modeling and hierarchy management. Route-planning tools optimize routes and schedules, and eSpatial describes turn-by-turn navigation through its mobile apps. Data can be brought in from XLS, XLSX, or CSV files, as well as through two-way Salesforce integration. APIs are available for custom integrations with cloud ERP and business intelligence systems. The company also offers iSMART, an on-premise, server-based GIS accessed through a web browser, with web and Java APIs. eSpatial was founded in 1997 and is available on Android, iOS, web, API, and self-hosted platforms. Its paid plans start at $499 per user per year, with a 7-day trial. The company describes live mapping-expert support by phone, chat, or screen-share, and says application data is stored in Virginia, with backups in California.
