The German Red Cross uses Maplytics for their Geo-Analytical business requirements
We decided to change our provider to Maplytics due to the rich features and the user interface. Choosing the points for route-calculation by mouse is very helpful. Changing the order of the waypoints with drag-and-drop save processing time. The interface is quite comfortable. The Heatmap with automatic mapping to countries or postcode-areas is very cool for visualizing our performance to customers and stakeholders.
In summary – This is a great tool backed by a very talented and responsive team.
