Badger Maps: #1 Route Planner

Badger Maps has completely transformed the way I plan my days on the road. The ability to visualize all my accounts on a map, find nearby prospects, and optimize multi-stop routes has saved me hours each week. I can easily plan efficient routes, cut down on wasted drive time, and fit in more customer visits. which has directly boosted my productivity and sales. I can update customer notes and log visits right from the app, which keeps everything organized and up to date without extra work at the end of the day. The mobile app and desktop interface are both intuitive and user-friendly. I appreciate how quick it is to adjust a route on the fly if plans change mid-day. The reporting and check-in features make it easy to keep track of activities and provide detailed updates for my team. Badger Maps has paid for itself many times over in time savings and increased revenue. I can’t imagine going back to manual planning or relying on basic tools like Google Maps. If you’re in field sales, this is hands down the best route planning solution out there.

I have been using Badger maps for the last 5 months. However, I have several observations that may make Badger even more useful for field personnel. I would like to be able to create follow up calls and meetings from the phone. Right now, it is a cumbersome way to get it into your schedule Badger should have connectivity with Outlook, so as to have yet another reminder to complete more tasks. I like the visualization feature but it needs refinement. Another words, make it so that when you have checked in it then creates an immediate follow up date inherently. Also there needs to be a way to just visualize customers that have not been or need to be visited once again. Otherwise, I think Badger is a great app, easy to manipulate and it helps with remembering items for immediate attention.

Badger makes my outside sales career a breeze! I am so in love with the ease of use. I use the “lasso” too to pick a handful of accounts in an area and let Badger optimize the best route possible. Every stop I navigate to on the route, I “check-in” and write what I did or talked about. The check-ins are saved and I also send export them to a PDF to send to my boss weekly. I use notes to enter names of people and account info. I also customized my filterable search material by accounts that order the most and color coded the map. Our nationwide company currently doesn’t have a CRM and next week I show my boss the ropes on Badger in hopes he takes it to the President because EVERY salesperson needs this. I use this app at least 10-15 times a day at every stop and to see where I am going next. I save my routes by days of the week and by area. On my way home today, I was done my route early so I opened Badger to see which accounts I could hit on my way home and stopped to prospect one more account. It’s the most productive tool ever! I don’t know how salespeople live without it to be honest. It’s a MUST TRY and so self-explanatory to use. Also, someone from Badger has chatted with me online to help me with a question one night and you just can’t get customer service like that. I highly recommend this and hope our company purchases this for all our 600 reps nationwide. Keep up the good work Badger!!
