Create territory map by zip code, then cut turf inside
Create territory map by zip code by picking the zip shape and cutting turf inside it, or by using a polygon, a circle, a rectangle, a county, or a state when that zip is the wrong edge. Knockdesk field sales software holds that map under the sales territory management pillar.
Book a Walkthrough- 1Pick one zip when that shape is the boundary you want. In Knockdesk a zip is a Census ZCTA, not an official USPS route.
- 2If the zip is the wrong edge, draw a polygon, a circle, or a rectangle, or pick a county or a state.
- 3Assign the territory to a team or to one field rep. That routes later turf. It does not, by itself, reassign every pin.
- 4Cut turf inside the boundary by lasso, by a CSV of addresses, or from pins on the map. The lasso has to stay inside the territory.
- 5Put one vendor on the turf and assign one owner. New turf cannot overlap turf already cut.
The shape
A zip code territory map is a boundary, not a household total
A zip code territory map here is one Census ZCTA with turf cut inside it. It is not an official USPS route, and it does not arrive with a household count. Guessing homes from the zip code invents a number the desk does not have. Draw the edge you mean, then cut the work a person can hold.
Not a carrier route
The zip shape is a Census ZCTA, not an official USPS route. Do not knock it as if the carrier walk were the territory.
No household count
Knockdesk does not hand you a household count for that zip. Cut turf from the pins you place, not from a total you guessed.
Outside the edge
New turf has to sit inside the territory. A lasso that leaves the zip is not turf on that map.
Overlap
New turf cannot overlap turf already cut, including turf you cut from a neighboring zip.
The cut
Pick the zip, then hand someone the turf
Draw the territory as that zip, or as a polygon, a circle, a rectangle, a county, or a state. Cut turf inside it and put one owner on the pack. The zip is the boundary. The turf is the work. Full desk is on the pricing page. A free trial is not open.
