Ultimaps

Work with Ultimaps by starting from the question you need to answer. Drop in a table, upload a CSV, or write a plain instruction, then pick whether you want areas shaded or points placed. The app reads your fields, links them to locations, and lays out a clear picture without any scripting. From there you fine-tune the look: switch palettes, set thresholds that fit your story, and tweak borders so the view matches how your team thinks about regions.

In weekly reviews, analysts bring in the latest numbers and refresh the same project instead of rebuilding a graphic. Managers scan the page, hover to see exact figures, filter to a product line, and capture a clean image for slides in seconds. Because the map is explorable, a quick click reveals what’s driving a hotspot instead of waiting for a separate report.

For coverage planning, start with customer lists and team capacity. Generate rough splits, compare totals by area, move edges, and try alternatives until workloads are balanced. Save versions and share a link for feedback before you lock it for roll‑out.

Event and field work follow a similar flow. Add locations, color by status, cluster close points, and attach notes for on‑the‑ground context. Send a view‑only page to partners who just need to check progress.

Researchers and communicators use it to turn survey results or categories into simple visuals. Choose bins that highlight patterns, add short callouts, and publish a clean map that readers can explore or you can place on a page or deck.
