GfK releases 2013 update with English user interface as well as new maps and data on market potential for Europe
Bruchsal, August 1, 2013 – GfK has released the English-language version of its geomarketing solution RegioGraph 2013, with deliveries to begin in mid-October. The latest version of the geomarketing solution lets users plan parallel sales structures, visualize international locations and utilize a wide range of reporting functions.
The English-language version of the geomarketing software RegioGraph 2013 will be available beginning in mid-October, along with Europe-wide market data and worldwide maps. RegioGraph allows users to visualize their customers, target groups and potential on up-to-date digital maps and carry out analyses using integrated data on potential, such as GfK Purchasing Power 2013. The GfK maps for Europe have been updated as well and can be seamlessly integrated in RegioGraph.
RegioGraph 2013 helps users from all business areas quickly determine the distribution of potential and pinpoint strengths and weaknesses in their markets. The software thus offers transparency and reliable planning in dynamic, interlinked markets.
"RegioGraph Analysis" supports the controlling and optimization of regional market exploitation quotas through objective, insight-generating analyses, the results of which are displayed on maps. In addition to this feature,
"RegioGraph Planning" offers professional tools for planning sales territories and locations, calculating catchment areas and planning efficient customer visits. With "RegioGraph Strategy", users can also carry out address-specific analyses of target groups and business potential in all key markets around the globe.
Additional new features in RegioGraph 2013:
New analysis and visualization dialog
A new, user-friendly dialog gives quick access to the software’s more than 100 analysis and visualization options along with settings for fonts, lines and symbols. After selecting an analysis or formatting option, users see a preview directly on the worksheet map, which makes it quick and easy to choose the best option.
Integrated planning on a single base map
Users of RegioGraph 2013 can easily maintain an overview of multiple sales lines, territory levels and planning scenarios. The new version allows users to plan all territory structures on a single base map, resulting in fewer planning errors and faster achievement of the optimal sales structure.
Customized reports
In addition to map analyses, users can now also insert and customize the display of diagrams and tables on the worksheet, which is ideal for optimally presenting results. Users can also easily integrate logos, headings and page numbers into the page templates, resulting in professional, customized reports consistent with the company brand.
Expanded international geocoder
RegioGraph supports global planning, which makes it ideal for internationally active companies. The geocoder has been expanded to provide more support for the precise localization of company data. Street-level localizations and analyses can now be carried out not just in Europe, but also in other dynamic markets such as Tawain, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Africa, Brazil, Mexico and the USA.
2013 map data and data on potential
