<h2>Indicator values</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Territory load is a&nbsp;simple and effective indicator of free time in the territory. An&nbsp;ideal situation is when the territory load is at 100%. It shows that the sales representatives work will take for example an&nbsp;average of 8&nbsp;hours a&nbsp;day throughout the sales cycle. A&nbsp;rate less than 100% means that work takes less time on certain days. A&nbsp;rate of more than 100% means that work takes more than 8 hours a&nbsp;day, and perhaps completing all planned visits will not be possible.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The load indicator’s calculation is based on the route optimization process.</p>

<h2>Applications</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Territory load is an&nbsp;indicator that is particularly useful in two situations:
<ul>
<li style="line-height: 1.5em; padding-bottom: 2px; text-align: justify; margin-left: 3%;">when designing territories it allows one to precisely validate them and to balance them much better than using simple indicators such as the number of clients</li>
<li style="line-height: 1.5em; padding-bottom: 2px; text-align: justify; margin-left:3%;">monitoring the territory load after the implementation of a&nbsp;new territorial division in a&nbsp;changing market.</li>
</ul>
