Territory protection lets you mark the locations you're actively working as claimed so other operators on the platform know they're spoken for, reducing overlap and wasted effort.
How it works
When you add or work a location, you can mark it claimed on the map.
Claimed locations are visible as protected, signaling to others not to pursue the same site.
A 60-day documentation grace period gives you time to show progress on a claimed location. Keeping your activity and notes current on the lead is the best way to document that you're actively working it.
Keep your claims active
Log your outreach, calls, and meetings on each claimed lead. That activity is what backs up your claim during the grace period, so make a habit of updating the lead's Activity/Notes as you go.
Rolling out
Map-based claiming and territory protection are part of VendScout's roadmap and rolling out over time. If you don't see claiming on the map yet, it's on the way — check back as features expand.
