Within this article, you can find the below categories for use of PiinPoint on mobile.

To access PiinPoint, simply download the mobile Chrome app from your app store. You can use Safari however Chrome will offer the smoothest experience as that’s what we’ve been developing for.

If working on Android, use this link instead.

Once downloaded, navigate to app.piinpoint.com and log in using your regular credentials.

Once logged in, you’ll notice the layout of PiinPoint has been slightly altered. You can however find your regular feature panel by clicking on the icon at the top right corner.

You can also use the location finder to allow PiinPoint to geocode your location and plot it on the map. Note: You will need to make sure your browser has access to location services for this feature to work.

While on the road conducting site tours, you may find it helpful to have your location data on hand for quick access.

Navigate to the necessary location by selecting it from the dropdown menu.

Review that locations attributes, and jump into street view mode:

Visualize your nearby Points of Interest from the POI panel on the right hand side.

You can bring in both individual brands (eg. Starbucks), as well as brand categories (eg. Grocery).

Select the type of trade area you would like to draw, and enter any other necessary information if needed:

Click Enter, and drop the trade area directly on the map:

Click on your drawn trade area to open its menu. This will now appear at the bottom of the screen. Click “Summarize” to get a quick view into your selected demographics.

Note: Keep in mind, the demographics that appear here will be the same that you have added to your Target Market panel. So if you don’t see the demographics you need showing here, simply add them to your Target Market panel before clicking “Summarize” or building any reports.

Then, simply toggle on the appropriate layer from the Layers panel, and the points will appear directly on the map.

If you’ve done a sales forecasting project with PiinPoint, you can also run a sales prediction off an existing candidate point. Simply toggle on the appropriate Candidate layer and click “Prediction”.

Note: You will need to make sure all necessary candidate points are added to a layer before logging in on mobile as that feature only currently exists on desktop.
