It’s important to respect territorial agreements you have with your suppliers.

Yodify empowers you to control geographic accessability for your individual brands. Automatically inform potential customers that products cannot be shipped to certain areas using a combination of IP and shipping address.

Honor Your Territories

By setting up territories you do and do not serve, you can easily adhere to any territorial agreements you have on a brand-by-brand basis. 
begin anew

Limit Irrelevant Quotes & Orders

Setting up the regions you serve limits the number of orders and quotes submitted to your business from territories you do not or cannot serve, saving time for your sales teams and letting them focus on meaningful quote requests and orders.
Restrict or Enable     
Determine by brand which of your products you can sell or quote into different territories. Simply select your Ship Only To, or Do Not Ship To locations for the relevant brands.
Fine Control     
Set by State, Province or Territory where you do and don’t sell certain brands.

Not just for sales, using Territorial Restrictions can also alleviate or completely eliminate quote requests from out-of-service areas.

Keep your sales team focused on meaningful engagement.
Territorial Restrictions
Territorial restrictions are limitations set by suppliers on where and to whom distributors can sell their products. These restrictions are often put in place to manage the market, protect brand integrity, and control pricing and distribution channels. Some common examples of territorial restrictions suppliers may impose on distributors include:
Catalog-Only Sites
Suppliers may impose restrictions on selling via e-commerce, even those of an authorized distributor. This is where a Yodify-powered product catalog can be of great benefit, as it's a major lead-generating tool that drives traffic directly to the distributor, who can then assist and close the sale offline.
Exclusive Territories
A supplier might grant exclusive territory to a distributor, where only that distributor is allowed to sell the supplier’s products. This incentivizes distributors to invest more in marketing, inventory, and sales efforts within that territory.
Customer Restrictions
Some suppliers specify which customer groups or market segments the distributor can target. For example, a distributor might be restricted to selling to oil & gas customers while another sells to water & wastewater.
Cross-Border Sales Restrictions
To control the international distribution of products, suppliers may prohibit distributors from selling products across national borders. This helps in managing international pricing, import/export regulations, and market entry strategies.
Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) Policies
While not a territorial restriction per se, MAP policies restrict the price at which a distributor can advertise products for sale. This helps in maintaining the brand’s perceived value and prevents price wars that can erode profit margins across a territory.
These territorial restrictions are typically outlined in the distribution agreement between the supplier and distributor. While they can help suppliers maintain control over their brand and product distribution, they must be managed carefully to comply with local and international competition laws, which vary widely and often aim to prevent anti-competitive practices.
