Short answer
- A store locator is a map of all your branches where customers search and open the nearest one as a route in a single click.
- You import every branch at once from a CSV or Excel file; your own columns become the fields per location.
- Having one built quickly runs into hundreds or thousands in development time — this you put online yourself in ten minutes.
- You embed the map on your own website, in your own branding.
- Free to start; a custom domain and removing our branding are in the paid plans.
At this scale
8,328 locations on one map
Our deposit-return map is not one brand's store locator, but it does show how this map behaves at that scale: 8,328 points across the Netherlands, still quick to search on a phone.
- 8,328 points in two categories: 5,107 machines and 3,221 manual points.
- Points cluster automatically until you zoom into a town or a street.
- Every point says what you can hand in there: bottles, cans, crates or glass.
- The same import: one file with every address, no per-branch handiwork.
