Direct answer
How route optimization works for field sales
Granola Maps helps field sales managers build visit routes from customer location, priority, and workload, then compare the plan with field activity. The focus is practical visit sequencing and coverage across the day, with visibility into completed and missed stops afterward.
Field routes are often planned from spreadsheets, memory, or static customer lists. That creates wasted drive time, missed coverage, and uneven workloads.
Sequence customer visits more intelligently.
Balance agent workloads across territories.
Prioritize high-value customers in daily routes.
Compare planned routes with real field execution.
