Every outlet on a beat, every beat on a day.
A beat is a salesman's fixed route for a day. This module groups your outlets into beats by area and by how often each should be visited, and builds every salesman's weekly plan from them. Then it compares the plan with what happened: outlets visited, outlets not billed, and calls that actually produced an order.
Groups outlets into beats (a salesman's fixed route for a day) by area and visit frequency and builds each person's weekly plan. Reports planned versus actual visits, outlets not billed and productive calls.
