P44 · Implementation blueprint · Mappls Field Sales Intelligence

FMCG/CPG Distribution, Rural Expansion & Beat Excellence

Outlet universes, rural potential, distributor territories and beats are incomplete or stale, limiting numeric distribution and productive coverage.

01 · Target operating outcome

Define the change before choosing the technology

Where is demand potential growing faster than your current outlet coverage and distributor capacity?

Higher outlet coverage and sales; lower travel and overlap; faster distributor expansion and better service levels.

Baseline

Measure current volume, time, cost, failure, service, risk and revenue at the workflow level.

Target

Priority outlet list validated; calls/day and coverage improve; incremental distribution case accepted.

02 · Solution architecture

One connected flow from source data to operational action

Outlet census/enrichment, rural/urban potential scoring, distributor/territory design, beat routes, field execution, delivery/fleet and market dashboards. Mappls connects proprietary map and location intelligence with outlet census/enrichment, rural/urban potential scoring, distributor/territory design, beat routes, field execution, delivery/fleet and market dashboards. We start with one measurable workflow, prove the operating impact, and scale through reusable data, APIs and SaaS rather than a one-off implementation.
