Franchise mapping - low-cost franchise territory design and postcode/zip code allocation solution

Tech4T help franchisors design fair and balanced territory boundaries. franchise planning

Our franchise mapping (and remapping) service includes web-based solutions to help franchisors sell their territories, franchise territory maps and prospect data for franchisees (optionally pre loaded into a CRM system), plus postal territory wall maps.

To leverage the maximum return from your franchise business, territories need to be designed to take account of many factors including social demographics, up-to-date business counts, market size, customer potential, drive times, etc.  This not only requires the right data and mapping technologies, but also the expertise and specialist analysis tools to bring together varying data feeds, applying them in such a way as to optimise geographic segmentation whilst taking account of geographical preferences and any previously allocated territories.

Tech4T's experts are trained to develop franchise territories in this way, ensuring franchise regions are kept in line with business growth and helping you use the map-based insights to interact both on and offline with potential customers.

  • New franchise? We offer a complete territory planning and design package for master franchise, franchisor and franchisee, with phased options to support your business as it develops and help your cash flow.  Includes territory maps - heat-mapped to show potential, and Postcode allocation datasheets.

  • Existing franchise? We assess your franchise regions in terms of demographics, balancing criteria, postal geography, potential, etc., then redevelop territory boundaries for areas where business potential is not maximised. Existing 'sold' territories are preserved.

  • Considering a new market? We can profile and analyse sales and marketing potential for new geographical areas.

  • Franchise boundary alignment - with optional preservation of existing 'sold' territories, and creation of new balanced territories.

  • Paper-based franchise territory designs migrated to web-based systems - to improve the sales process and lead allocation to franchisees.

We can research and provide mail, email and telemarketing prospect lists, set up a trackable email broadcast system, manage, enrich and analyse your data, run surveys, target campaigns...

Remember, when franchising your business, or buying into a franchise... you need to determine if territories are "protected", meaning that one franchisee can’t market into another franchisee’s territories. If protected territories are part of your business model and your territories are not defined in a systematic, fair and consistent way, legal implications and issues could follow. 

We can help - giving you the benefit of 20+ years in franchise territory design and franchise mapping!

Why balance franchise territories?

Balancing territories - so that each franchisee has the same sales opportunities - ensures franchise regions are more appealing to prospective franchisees and easier to sell. If territories are unbalanced, incorrectly defined or overlap, there is likely to be conflict, confusion and damage to your business and brand.

Franchise boundary development

Franchise mapping

We can design and balance territories to meet your current and future needs. This includes identifying and mapping the ideal number of territories to maximise the revenue potential of your franchise business, taking into account factors like customer profile characteristics, sales penetration, competitors, forecasts, local area demographics and business statistics.

Any existing territories can be preserved, and where working well, analysed to identify factors that can be applied to new territories.


Web-map franchise territories

We can develop mini-websites that use maps and data reports to define franchise regions.

We use zoom functionality to navigate the various territory levels, with optional drill-down from map hot-spots to postal data, statistics, reports, location-specific information or to other URLs.  

Our web-based systems can also be designed to match your own website design/branding.
