Am working working with a company that has around 4,500 customers using Google My Maps to mark their locations and status symbols and to create routes. Our CRM, which is a Zoho product, is compatible with APIs, and we have the information ready to push updates to a map.
I’m looking for good mapping solutions that can handle routing, track customer locations and statuses, and allow for changes through APIs. What mapping platforms or tools would you recommend for this situation? Any insights on their features, pricing, or ease of integration with Zoho would be greatly appreciated
For your needs, several mapping solutions can handle routing, track customer locations, and integrate with APIs. Google Maps Platform is a robust option, offering features for routing, real-time location tracking, and extensive API support. It’s well-documented and can integrate with Zoho via API, although it can become costly depending on usage. Mapbox is another strong choice, known for its customizable maps and powerful API for routing and location tracking. It offers competitive pricing and flexibility, which might be beneficial for your use case. Additionally, HERE Technologies provides a comprehensive mapping solution with strong routing capabilities and API support, often praised for its reliability and detailed data. Each of these platforms offers different pricing tiers based on usage, so reviewing their pricing models and comparing them with your needs will help you choose the best fit.
I use Esri ArcGIS for mapping and location tracking. It has robust API integration and supports Zoho CRM, making it great for advanced routing and managing customer locations. While the pricing can be on the higher side, it offers a comprehensive suite of tools and excellent support.
I’ve worked with similar mapping needs before, and for a company managing 4,500 customers with routing and real-time updates, I’d recommend considering platforms like Mapbox, HERE Technologies, and Google Maps Platform. Mapbox offers robust APIs for custom maps and routing, with strong integration options and flexible pricing. HERE Technologies is excellent for detailed routing and real-time tracking, with comprehensive API support and good integration with various CRMs. Google Maps Platform provides powerful mapping and routing features, with extensive API capabilities but can get pricey as usage scales. Each of these platforms can integrate with Zoho via APIs, but you’ll want to assess their specific features and pricing to find the best fit for your needs.
