I developed a testclient that enables me to use xTerritory 1 to calculate some simple usecase scenarios. For those of you who are interested I can offer to demonstrate the capabilities in a 1:1 websession. Just provide some sample data with the following structure:
File 1: locations (of your customers)
- For the locations I need at least the ID and x/y coordinates. Further properties such as activity are optional.

File 2: territories (your own depots, sales offices, ...)
- Same as above: the ID, x/y coordinates are mandatory (and should be using the same coordinate format as the locations).
120 00 Praha;1604886;6452761;
301 00 Plzen;1488004;6395330;
602 00 Brno;1846243;6301342;
779 00 Olomouc;1918011;6368844;
702 00 Ostrava;2033589;6411302;

Alltogether I can compute the optimal assignment of territories with the goal of geographic compactness
- Compact territories
and balanced activity
- The aggregated sum of activity in each territory is almost on the same level
Let me know if you are interested in such a quick check,
Best regards,
Bernd
