Common Questions

No. Mapsly is a standalone geo-platform that connects to Zoho CRM (and 14+ other CRMs). You keep Zoho as your CRM; Mapsly adds the map, routing, territories, automation, and analytics layer on top—reading and writing back to Zoho via its connector.
Per Zoho’s documentation, the Route Plan optimizer caps at 25 stops on Standard (Flexi) y 50 stops on Professional. The Professional-tier Route Distribution wizard handles up to 500 stops × 100 users for multi-rep planning. Mapsly’s optimizer goes up to 2,000 locations × 30 users in a single planning run.
No. Mapsly is standalone—it works with any of 15+ supported CRMs (Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, Pipedrive, Microsoft Dynamics, Smartsheet, Google Sheets, Airtable…) plus custom data sources via the Mapsly API. Zoho RouteIQ’s own documentation states the extension is only available for Zoho CRM Enterprise edition and above.
Yes. Mapsly imports Zoho CRM data via its connector and reads existing modules, records, and saved filters. Legacy territory definitions can be re-imported via KML / KMZ / GeoJSON / Shapefile or rebuilt programmatically through the Automation Platform. Mapsly’s solution engineers help size the migration.
Both are per-user. Mapsly starts at $45/user/month with usage-based components and add-ons (Shared Maps, Análisis Mapsly—£34/creator, £11/viewer). Zoho RouteIQ is per-user with a record-credit add-on. Verify current rates on mapsly.com/pricing and Zoho’s RouteIQ pricing page before deciding.
Yes—Mapsly plans multi-day routes with night stops along the way. Zoho RouteIQ doesn’t support long-haul or overnight routing.
Mapsly’s Automation + Custom Apps engine goes much further: context- and metadata-driven actions con four trigger types, driving-distance/time conditions, geofence triggers, and external API calls—plus a full create/read/update/delete, email, SMS, and find-best-match catalogue. The same engine powers user-built custom apps on Mapsly. Zoho RouteIQ ships Route Workflows with two documented actions: email-on-route-assignment and mileage-to-Zoho-Expense.
Mapsly’s Automation Platform can call any external API, including Zoho Expense’s. The setup is a custom workflow rather than a one-click template—talk to Mapsly’s solution engineers if this matters. Zoho RouteIQ ships a productized Automated Mileage Expenses feature (Professional) that pushes mileage data directly to Zoho Expense.
