The year in review
Firstly we’d like to thank everyone for the continued support and the fantastic projects that we have been a part of in 2014. We’ve had a really busy 12 months and have experienced a substantially higher level of growth than we had imagined. This has all culminated us going into this Christmas break extremely happy and looking forward to what 2015 has in store.
There were a number of key milestones and achievements that Atlas Mapping experienced in 2014 and here are just a few of them.
Going Global
2014 saw us expand our project work capabilities to the USA and Canada. Following our success in the UK market, we reached a point where we were able to offer the same exceptional level of service to the USA and Canada.
My Franchise Atlas also became available worldwide. We added to the portfolio of countries that My Franchise Atlas is available in, the market-leading system is now available and being used in the following countries:
- United Kingdom
- Republic of Ireland
- United States of America
- Canada
- Australia
Company Growth
This year has seen an incredible amount of growth for us and our client base. We’ve welcomed around 40 new clients this year, ranging from small, new start companies to large multinational organisations and all of which are just as important to us. To read up on some of our most recent client case studies please visit here.
The uptake of My Franchise Atlas has also seen an extremely high level of growth, subscriptions have doubled in the last 3 months alone. With more and more franchisors signing up to the system, it helps us to realise our aim of recognising, solving and providing genuine benefits to our clients for all of their territory mapping and management needs.
Tough Mudder 2014
We were extremely proud of our commitment to take part and complete a Tough Mudder event this year and raise £330 for Cancer Research UK. We’d like to take this chance again to thank all of those who supported us and helped raise the amount of money that we did for such a great cause.

Plans for 2015
Atlas Mapping have something extremely exciting planned for 2015. We are focussed on a major development project that will change the way that all things territory mapping and management are viewed and interacted with moving forward. This is a vision and a service that we are passionate about and it’s our way of giving back to the market
At the same time, we will continue to improve and expand our services in the markets that we currently operate in, whilst striving to grow our worldwide coverage into different countries and market sectors.
For constant updates and tidbits of information on Atlas Mapping throughout 2015 please follow us on any of the social media platforms (Linkedin, Twitter and GooglePlus) and stay in touch.
We hope that you have a nice Christmas and New Year.
The Atlas Mapping Team.
A message from Jon
Christmas is a fantastic time of the year. It’s a time when we all start winding down to spend some time with those who matter most to us. But it’s also a time to reflect on the previous year and its teachings whilst simultaneously looking forward to the next year and what that will bring to us, our family and friends, and of course our businesses.
I really do believe that constant reinvestment is critical to any successful business. Since we started Atlas Mapping around three and a half years ago, we’ve enjoyed a repeating and yet exciting journey of investment and growth. Making just a small profit each year with healthy growth in turnover, we constantly reinvested our earnings into the team, offices, infrastructure, processes, software and technology and of course product development. 2014 was no exception.
So where does Atlas Mapping head in 2015? Throughout the entire of the past year, we’ve been investing in and developing our online services. This will continue into 2015, where we will unmask our vision of entirely changing the way business and employees interact with each other - through maps and geographic information. It’s extremely exciting stuff that will appeal to both small local businesses and giant international corporations alike so keep your eyes peeled.
That leaves me to thank all of those people that have helped Atlas Mapping become the success it has. To all our customers, partners, suppliers, advocates and of course our staff and supportive families and friends, my heartfelt thanks and best wishes to you all for a Merry Christmas and successful 2015.
