Data Import, a Major Feature of Smappen
Data import is a major feature of Smappen, that enables you to fully leverage your information for detailed analysis.
Whether it’s to visualize your customer file or the location of your suppliers, the ability to add points on a map is essential for analyzing your catchment area. With Smappen, you can add your own points to your map, with data from an Excel file, offering increased visibility and a deeper understanding of your data.
