For sales representatives, time is money. Every minute spent navigating traffic, searching for client locations, or filling out tedious paperwork is a minute stolen from closing deals. But in today’s competitive landscape, efficiency and responsiveness are paramount. This is where the real-time tracking feature of Maplytics emerges as a game-changer.

What is Maplytics Real-Time Tracking?

Maplytics, a powerful geo-mapping solution integrated with Microsoft Dynamics 365 / Dataverse offers a real-time tracking feature that empowers businesses to visualize the location of their field sales reps. This feature goes beyond just location pinpoints and provides a dynamic view of rep movements refreshed every few seconds, allowing managers to optimize appointment scheduling, track progress, and ultimately, boost sales success.

  2. Reduced Administration: No more manual logging of mileage or wasted time filling out cumbersome time sheets. Maplytics automatically tracks location, route followed, and travel time, streamlining administrative tasks and freeing up reps for what matters most – sales!
  3. Improved Client Communication: Imagine informing a client you’ll be there in 15 minutes, with real data to back it up. Real-time tracking allows for transparent communication, building trust, and setting realistic expectations with clients.
  4. Focus on Building Relationships: By eliminating the hassle of route planning and admin tasks, reps can dedicate their energy to building rapport, understanding client needs, and delivering impactful presentations.
Benefits for Sales Managers:
  1. Data-driven decision-making: Real-time insights into rep location and travel patterns allow managers to make informed decisions about scheduling, resource allocation, and territory management. This data can also be used to identify areas for improvement in training or support.
  2. Improved Sales Pipeline Management: With real-time visibility into rep schedules and locations, managers can proactively identify potential roadblocks and adjust pipelines accordingly. This proactive approach ensures deals stay on track and minimizes wasted efforts.
  3. Enhanced Team Collaboration: Real-time tracking fosters greater collaboration within sales teams. Managers can quickly identify nearby reps who could offer support or expertise on a specific client call.
  4. Increased Accountability: Knowing their location is being tracked can motivate reps to stay on schedule and maintain a professional demeanor while on the road. This creates a culture of accountability and responsibility.
Building Client Trust and Transparency

The benefits of Maplytics’ real-time tracking extend beyond internal efficiency gains. Importantly, it fosters trust and transparency in client relationships.

  1. Accurate Appointment Estimates: Clients appreciate being informed about arrival times, especially when scheduling meetings or expecting on-site visits. Real-time tracking allows for accurate estimates, setting realistic expectations, and strengthening client relationships.
  2. Proactive Communication: Unexpected delays happen. With real-time tracking and usability of Maplytics across devices sales reps can proactively communicate any unforeseen circumstances to clients, minimizing inconvenience and demonstrating professionalism.
  3. Demonstration of Commitment: Being able to track a rep’s progress towards a meeting shows a commitment to punctuality and client satisfaction. This sends a positive message and reinforces the value placed on the client relationship and within the company.
Addressing Privacy Concerns:

Privacy is a priority. Maplytics provides a customizable framework allowing organizations to determine the level of tracking detail they share. Reps can choose to opt out of tracking during breaks or personal time by disabling the tracking ability on their mobile, ensuring a healthy balance between work and privacy.
