Specialist Dealer Search for the Industrial Sector

A digital guide to the product your customers are looking for


The SmartMaps dealer search is particularly useful for industrial companies and manufacturers that don't operate their own retail outlets. It helps customers quickly find the right product and the nearest specialist dealer. If you are a manufacturer of branded or niche products, you can strengthen your distribution network by using a digital dealer search. It offers your customers a convenient online solution that allows them to instantly identify where your products are available for purchase.

Built on SmartMaps' GDPR-compliant mapping platform, the dealer search provides a comprehensive solution with powerful search features, an intuitive interface, and advanced product filtering. A special feature for customer mailings is the ability to generate personalised map sections — such as the customer’s preferred store — for both print and email formats.

Optimised Customer Journey

Filter features, promotions & more


SmartMaps helps industrial companies close gaps in their customer journey. But that's not all — marketing campaigns can also be integrated into the Dealer Search (Store Locator). The filter function allows customers to view only those dealers participating in specific promotions. As a manufacturer, you can showcase product launches directly on your own website, without relying on the online presence of your retailers.

Personalised Communication

Higher checkout conversion rates


Impress your customers by including personalised map excerpts in your mailings. For example, you could use them to highlight a special promotion at their nearest dealer. Customised map views are always eye-catching, whether it is in print or email.

You can match specialist dealer locations to recipients using our intelligent proximity search. This allows you to promote local offers or provide vouchers tailored to the customer’s location — all personalised within your newsletter.

After an online purchase with in-store pickup, you can include the selected dealer in the confirmation message, along with a personalised map showing directions. This creates a more engaging and seamless shopping experience for your customers.

"SmartMaps impressed us primarily with its GDPR compliance, which is a high priority for us; an unbeatable price-performance ratio; and the truly outstanding technical documentation."

"From the very beginning, we had the feeling that YellowMap meets our requirements and that we are in good hands. Not least because the company has been specializing in exactly this area for over 20 years and brought corresponding references. The team conveyed to us: The schedule is ambitious, but we can do it. The cooperation is thoroughly professional, very dedicated, and it also fits on a human level. We get quick answers and clear statements. There are firm commitments on both sides. In short: teamwork as you would wish for it!"

"For all interactive Sparkasse locators within the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe, we have been relying on the service of YellowMap AG since 2022. The migration of over 365 regional Sparkasse websites and our central portal sparkasse.de to the GDPR-compliant map platform SmartMaps was easy, and we benefit from cost savings compared to our previous provider. We and our Sparkassen are enthusiastic about the new map solution, which is hosted on German servers."

"With the help of SmartMaps, we are able to present our member companies and their services clearly on our website. This provides businesses with an effective public platform that complies with data protection regulations, and gives consumers a broad overview of the great diversity of organic agriculture. We are very satisfied with this solution."

"In order to comply with the strict GDPR guidelines, we had to look for an alternative mapping solution to Google Maps. With SmartMaps, we found a user-friendly mapping platform that protects the privacy of our customers. The switch was easy and completed with little effort."

Marcus Jeckel, Product Manager & Team Lead, Sopra Financial Technology GmbH

"In general, I absolutely loved your customer friendliness (assistance, quick problem solving, incorporating changes) and always having the feeling of having a contact person."
