Need to develop "Closest to you" function

[LightingGuy]

I'm with a small manufacturer. We have about 50 distributors nationwide.

I'd like to be able to enter a zip code and see a list of the closest distributors (ideally with distance in miles).

The distributors are all entered in Goldmine.

We have no programmers, so please nothing too complicated. A canned solution would be great.

I did a search on knowledgestorm and found a third party ap (MapInfo Pro) that does this (and links to Goldmine database) but it's a bit pricey ($1,500 for a single user).

Thanks for your help

I've got some experience doing just this for a couple of different clients. In one case it was a project to create a full-fledged add-on and in another case it simply updated a set of fields on the customer record indicating who the proper distributor for them was.

Either way, I suspect I can cook something up for you. Give me a call.

Hi,

If you take a look at

http://www.multmap.com

they do a nearest to function. If you contact them they may be able to help with it, I know one of my customers is already using this.
