    Still not sure Smappen is right for you?

    Don't take our word for it — let an AI weigh in. Ask your favorite assistant what it thinks about Smappen.

    How long does it take to map my first territory?

    About five minutes, from the address to the analysis. Type an address, pick drive time or distance, and the area appears with the population inside it. No GIS training, no setup call, no implementation project.

    What is territory mapping software?

    Territory mapping software turns a map into a territory system. You draw the boundary, you see who lives inside it, and every territory stays in one place instead of scattered across screenshots and spreadsheets. For franchisors, it’s what sits behind Item 12 of your FDD: the territory you grant, and the reason you granted it.

    Is Smappen free?

    Yes, with no time limit and no credit card. The free plan gives you 10 active areas, population data and a population heatmap, 100 imported pins, and saved maps you can share. Detailed demographics, competitor search, and bulk exports are on the paid plans. Everything is monthly with no commitment, and you can pause your subscription when you don’t need it.

    How do you design franchise territories that don't overlap?

    Start with a boundary type you can defend: drive time, distance, zip codes, or drawn by hand. Then put every territory on the same map, so overlap is something you see while you’re drawing instead of something a franchisee reports later. Map the full footprint before you sell the first unit. That’s the difference between territories that hold at 5 locations and territories that hold at 50.

    What data do I get inside a territory?

    Population and population density, household income, age breakdown, and number of households. Add competitor and point-of-interest data from 45 million businesses and places across 7 countries to see who’s already operating there. It’s all tied to the area you actually drew, not to a zip code that roughly covers it, and you can export it and hand it to your candidate.

    Can I import my existing franchisee locations and territories?

    Yes. Upload your franchisee list from Excel or sync it from HubSpot, and every location lands on the map. Existing boundaries come in as KML. You don’t rebuild anything. Your spreadsheet got you to where you are today. Smappen picks it up from there.
