It is an all-in-one map solution that offers powerful visual analysis to improve marketing campaigns, identify growth opportunities, or mitigate market risks.

As more and more companies realize the value of data simplification, the mapping service expanded its service to managers by making mapping still simple. Topo.ly added helpful features for its advanced members:

-       Build maps from Excel spreadsheet locations
-       Add Infinite Data Sets
-       Add Territory Layers
-       Build Heat Maps
-       Customize Markers
-       Embed Maps
-       Save Unlimited Maps

Data analysis is time intensive for any business, but with these added features, data analysis can be simplified and visualized. In fact, many found it enjoyable with the use of Topo.ly features. Some of the best features are the following:

Embed Maps

Embedding maps on a website means that your business is credible – one that many people trust. It also means that you are reaching out to your potential customers. By embedding your map on your website, you are welcoming them to come to you, thereby initiating good client relation. Topo.ly ensures that other people will never be able to decipher the code for the URL. Embedding maps take only a couple of minutes – maybe even less.

Show Location Labels

This feature is very useful to people who do presentations. Real estate and insurance agents will particularly like this feature. Showing the location labels is very similar to a business shop with a very attractive signage that people can identify. These agents can be able to simply click the icon and the labels will instantly show. They can then print it or include in their presentations so their customers will easily identify the exact property.

Heat Mapping

This feature enables the users to have an in-depth understanding of their business, suppliers, and customers. It is also a way to see how their business performs over time. Heat mapping can help to identify risks and steps needed to mitigate them. Using modern mapping technology, they can be able to visualize how their business fared and how it will fare in the future by identifying:

-       Location Density
-       The Collective Sum or Average of a Numeric Field from the Spreadsheet

The fun in mapping does not stop when one has already created maps for free. In fact, the advanced features offer a new kind of mapping. These benefits make it simple for small businesses to understand data quickly in order to make decisions.
