MR Tour & Territory Planning

Good coverage starts with good planning: areas that make sense, doctors prioritised, sensible routes and a plan you can check against what really happened.

Planning territories and tours that work

A medical rep's results depend heavily on where they are sent and in what order. Territories that are too big, doctor lists that never get prioritised and routes that zig-zag across a city all cost visits every week.

Good planning has four parts: a clear area structure, the right doctors assigned to each rep, a weekly plan with sensible routes, and a check that the plan actually happened. RxRep supports each step: areas from region down to territory, doctors and products assigned per rep, visit plans with manager approval, and the planned route compared with the rep's real day on a map.

Common planning problems

  • Territories too large to cover properly
  • Doctor lists with no priorities
  • Routes that waste hours in traffic
  • Tour programs in spreadsheets nobody checks
  • No way to tell if the plan was followed
