How to create a new service territory in the Zuper web app?

Zuper’s Service Territory simplifies planning and managing service regions, especially when dealing with large geographic areas. By dividing and controlling regions, you can ensure that your teams are strategically allocated to handle jobs within specific territories, reducing travel time and optimizing resources. You can define new territories and edit or delete existing ones based on your business goals, maintaining the flexibility needed for efficient operations and ensuring compliance with any geographic restrictions for your workforce. 
With Zuper, you can create territories using various methods, including geo-radius, custom-drawn geo-fences, or zip codes on the map. The system's advanced rules and visualization features help minimize overlaps, reduce confusion, and enhance scheduling efficiency. 
Dispatchers can overlay real-time data, directly viewing field technicians, teams, jobs, assets, and more on their territory maps. These visual insights ensure that territories are balanced effectively, helping you maintain optimal service delivery across all regions.

Note: We recommend assigning Team Leads as the owners of Service Territories, as they are best positioned to oversee and manage the associated jobs and resources.
Important: This ownership is restricted solely to the Dispatch Board. Team leaders (Dispatchers) who are assigned as owners of a Service Territory can view all jobs within that territory across teams. Please note that jobs visible in Dispatch Board may differ from those on the Jobs listing page. The Jobs listing page will display only the jobs that you and your team are directly associated with.
