Salesforce retired the standalone Salesforce Maps app for iPhone and Android on 31 August 2026 (Salesforce Trailblazer Community announcement). Reps now use the Maps tab inside the main Salesforce mobile app.
On the same day Salesforce also retired Maps Live Tracking Mobile, and live tracking did not move into the main app; Salesforce points to Check-In and Mileage Administration instead (TripLog, Voze). Desktop Salesforce Maps is unchanged.
Your three options
- Stay on Salesforce and move reps to the Maps tab in the Salesforce mobile app. Best if your reps work in Salesforce all day.
- Move to a dedicated per-user field tool such as Badger Maps, SPOTIO or Map My Customers. Best if route optimisation and live mapping are the core of the job.
- Own your field app. If your reps visit the same customers or dealers on a cycle, take orders and collect payments, an app you buy once can replace the field side without a per-user bill.
What a field team gets with Beatplan
- Daily visit plans per rep
- GPS-verified check-ins with photos and notes, and visit history per customer
- Orders at the visit, through review, dispatch and payment
- Cash, cheque and bank collections with slip photos, validated by accounts
- Customer balances, targets by rep, territory and region, and a manager dashboard
- iPhone, Android and web, under your own brand
What Beatplan does not do: no live location tracking, no route optimisation, no CRM deal pipeline, and no Salesforce or Zendesk sync. Dealer orders need a connection; visits, daily plans and payments work offline.
Switching takes a day
Beatplan is sold once with the full source code: US$2,900 for your own company, unlimited reps. Your IT person or IT provider deploys it in a day with the included guide and an AI coding assistant (Claude Code, Codex or ChatGPT): the database on your own Supabase account, the web console, and the phone app for your reps. No per-user fee, no annual commitment; hosting from about US$25 a month.
