Operations research automates B2B territory planning beyond spreadsheets

This article proposes a programmatic solution to automate B2B territory planning, a process traditionally managed with manual spreadsheets. It outlines a pipeline using Operations Research techniques, specifically the Hungarian Algorithm and Longest Processing Time (LPT) algorithms, to address challenges in capacity balancing and seller assignment. The goal is to move beyond inefficient manual methods and create a scalable system for territory design and account allocation. AI
