Maptitude makes it easy to use maps to analyse and understand the best locations for franchise site selection. Maptitude is a powerful combination of site mapping software and geographic data that provides everything that you need to make informed decisions.
In addition to the latest demographics, Maptitude includes substantial social, housing, and income data, along with easy-to-use analysis tools that will allow you to better understand the relationships between your franchise demand, supply, and competitor locations.
For example, the Maptitude Canada Data Package includes extensive business listing locations and detailed population characteristics. These data provide a complete framework for establishing new franchises.
Evaluate the demographics about any number of sites with Maptitude franchise territory mapping software.
Maptitude allocates franchises to achieve sustainable revenue generating territories, and can minimize competition or cannibalization as well as integrating many other factors into the decision process based on the user’s preferences.
In addition to the franchise site selection tools, Maptitude has extensive functionality for marketing and sales mapping including travel time & distance rings.
Maptitude franchise territory mapping software gives you a suite of tools for creating franchise territories and includes extensive demographics, consumer segmentation data, and address/postal geocoding and validation.
Create and visualize franchise territories by grouping areas, by drawing boundaries, or based on driving distance or time.
Often a territory is an area that is made up of several smaller areas merged together. For example, franchise territories might be made up of groups of postcodes, neighbourhoods, or other regions. Maptitude can build the franchise territories for you and compute the attributes and demographics of each one, helping you decide where to expand a retail franchise.
You can use Maptitude to create franchise territories based on a table or Excel spreadsheet of data; interactively by clicking on features in a map such as postal areas; or manually by drawing whatever boundary lines you require using the Maptitude editing tools. It is also possible to create franchise territories based on streets or overlapping franchise territories that define exclusive or non-exclusive markets. Your franchise territories can be stored natively in Maptitude or in formats including Shapefile, Oracle Spatial, or SQL Server Spatial.
Franchise success hinges on understanding where to grow, who to target, and how to maximise territory potential. Geographic data and mapping are essential tools in achieving these goals, whether you're planning new locations, assigning sales reps, or analysing performance by region.
Maptitude is built specifically for these kinds of business-critical location decisions. It delivers a comprehensive, easy-to-use platform for franchise mapping that eliminates the complexity and high cost often associated with GIS tools. Unlike many other mapping and GIS software packages that require users to purchase data separately, Maptitude includes extensive geographic and demographic data so that you can get started developing franchise territories as soon as you install the software.

CASE STUDY: How CKE Grew Their Business with Maptitude“Want to know whether a certain franchise is really a good opportunity in your area, you could profit from a type of software known as a GIS, or geographic information system. Unfortunately, GIS software...has been rather hard to use, and the demographic data needed to make it worthwhile has often been frightfully expensive. That is now changing [with] Maptitude.”
Selecting the best tool for franchise mapping can be complex. Maptitude simplifies territory creation, site selection, and market analysis, helping franchises expand strategically and operate efficiently. Here's what our satisfied users have to say:

“Great Map Software. Works perfectly for our needs. Building territories are simple and we just used the heat map functionality to adjust our service routes. Pros: Fair Price - a great amount of data is included with the software and their support is awesome. Cons: not much - fairly intuitive to navigate. Maptive, Mapline...were a lot more expensive and have to purchase additional data.”
