Until now, you've had to settle fin locator programs that use zip code or area code/exchange assignments. While it seems fine on the surface, chances are you're not always correctly identifying the caller's "closest" store. As a result, your customers are inconvenienced, and your franchisees are losing revenue to your competition. Finally, TARGUSinfo offers you a better way to route customers to your stores. With IntelliRouting Express, you can: * Identify the correct location every time and increase revenue * Protect franchisee's territory and eliminate location disputes * Eliminate the headaches and cost of in-house locator database maintenance * Improve customer service and loyalty Our patented technology pinpoints the caller's location within feet and identifies the closet store by matching the caller's precise location and your exact franchise-defined territory. In some cases, the closest store isn't always the correct store--you need to account for franchise territories and geographical obstacles, such as lakes mad wooded areas. With our unique mapping tools, you can define routing logic areas down to the exact street level. So, when does pinpoint precision count? When it's your customer.
