Abstract: Methods and apparatus for identifying one or more territories are provided. An example method includes receiving, from a data source, a territory file. The territory file can include data describing territory details such as a geographic territory name, territory geometry information, territory data attributes, and a territory color. Territory data is retrieved from a server, based on data in the territory file. A spatial fabric layer including polygonal regions is loaded from the territory data. A visual representation of one or more polygonal regions is displayed with a video display. User data indicating a selection of one or more polygonal regions can be received to create or update one or more selected territory polygonal regions. Changes made to a territory allocation can be displayed on a video display. The territory file can be updated with data identifying the one or more selected polygonal regions, and stored.

Abstract: A postal code map and related data constructed of polygons representing multiple-digit postal codes and defined by attribution information and/or other spatial features thereby providing more granular and precise entities to optimize activities such as trade area analysis and visualization. The polygons are created and illustrated by generating Voronoi tessellation based on the location of high precision address points and/or interpolated address points, multiple-digit postal codes of each and, for further refinement, attribution information and/or other spatial features such as streets, roads and highways; water borders and boundaries; rail lines; and park, city, county and other municipal, commercial and residential boundaries or barriers to further enclose, restrict and/or define the resulting polygon limits of the visual map.
