1. Launching BeatRoute Copilot

BeatRoute Copilot will be available to all customers now. Using Copilot, sales teams can ask questions, find insights on their data,use it to discover problem areas & act on them faster, all within the Sales Team App.

For example, users can ask:

• “Which SKUs are dropping in my territory?”
  
  

• “Which outlets are declining in sales this year, compared to last year?”
  
  

• “Who are the bottom-performing reps this month?”

Copilot instantly responds with graphs, tables and natural language summaries, and allows the users to ask follow up questions, reducing delays and enabling proactive problem solving.

How to use Copilot?

Please reach out to your customer success manager to try Copilot for your organization.

2. User Attendance & Distance Travelled is Improved

2.1 Start Day & End Day for attendance can now be set up as separate activities

Sales reps and managers, who travel long distances to reach the market, had to remember to mark their beginning of the day inside the Tour Visit option. They would often forget. . Now, “Start Day” and “End Day” can be configured as standalone activities and they come automatically upfront after login at the beginning of the day. 

Custom fields like notes or odometer reading can also be added to both Start and End confirmations, which wasn’t possible earlier. .

This feature can be enabled for selected users. For users where long distance travel from home is not the case, one can continue using customer location activity as basis for attendance as before.

2.2 Distance Travelled based on Actual Movement for for Sales Team App users

Customers can now enable movement tracking. This means continual fetching of GPS location every few minutes and using a direction API to calculate distance with more granularity than calculating it based on customer visit points.

The Distance Travelled report will have visibility on both metrics: distance calculated based on activity check-ins and distance calculated using real-time tracking data.

3. Improved Return & Credit Note Visibility in Sales Team App

Previously, the return detail page did not display the linked return invoice and credit note, making it difficult for field users to confirm both documents during the return process.

This update will help field users provide both a return invoice and proof of the corresponding credit note on the spot, which is crucial for building customer trust during on-the-go returns.

4. Additional Improvements:

4.1 Additional language support
BeatRoute is now available in Thai, German, Persian, and Arabic on the Sales Team App, helping teams in new regions adopt the platform with ease.

4.2 Permission to edit route with Sales Team
Route editing is no longer tied to customer creation rights. If a user has “edit customer” permission enabled, they will now be able to edit routes. This allows more controlled access and avoids unnecessary permissions for frontline users.

4.3 Customer creation user journey improvement
The workflow for creating a new customer has been improved. Users can now navigate between different sections of the form without being forced to exit or reset the flow. This enhances user experience for the team onboarding new customers.
