Sophie, a passionate sales manager, is on a mission to expand her company’s telecommunications business in Argentina. Why Argentina you ask? Well, she chose it not just for its potential but because it’s recently been in the spotlight. Argentina’s victory in Copa América 2024, marking it their 16th, has reignited global interest in the nation, and Sophie sees an opportunity to capitalize on this momentum. With Argentina’s rich history, diverse demographics, and dynamic lifestyles, the market presents both opportunities and challenges. To navigate this complex terrain, Sophie relies on Maplytics, a robust geo-mapping tool based on location intelligence integrated within Microsoft Dynamics 365, to help her make well-informed decisions and effectively target this promising market.

Getting Started: Exploring Key Locations with POI

As Sophie arrives in Buenos Aires, she knows that understanding the local landscape is crucial. She uses Maplytics’ Point of Interest (POI) Location Search to explore key locations. Buenos Aires, known for its cultural richness, has several historical landmarks, and Sophie decides to visit Casa Rosada and Plaza de Mayo. Casa Rosada, the iconic pink presidential palace in Buenos Aires, stands as a symbol of Argentina’s political history and is renowned for its grand architecture.

Nearby, Plaza de Mayo, a historic square, has been the backdrop for many significant events, including political protests and celebrations, making it a focal point for the city’s rich cultural heritage.

These sites help her gain insights into the political and cultural backdrop of Argentina, essential for aligning her company’s 5G Ultra Network and FiberOptic Plus services with local values.

Next, Sophie shifts her focus to the bustling business districts of Puerto Madero and .

By studying these areas, Sophie identifies gaps in the market where her company can introduce Unified Communication Solutions (UCS).

Maplytics’ POI Search also allows Sophie to filter locations based on categories like Retail Stores, Educational Institutions, and Healthcare Facilities.

For instance, by identifying areas with a high concentration of educational institutions, Sophie can promote Student Mobile Plans, tailored to the needs of students requiring affordable, high-speed internet.

As Sophie plans her visits to these locations, Route Optimization helps her decide the most efficient paths to take, ensuring she covers the key areas without wasting time.

Mapping Demographics with Census Data

With a clearer picture of the business environment, Sophie turns her attention to understanding the people of Argentina. She uses Maplytics’ Census Data Mapping feature to analyze demographics across different neighborhoods in Buenos Aires, such as Palermo and .

On the other hand, the diverse and densely populated La Boca neighborhood presents an opportunity for Sophie to introduce Affordable Mobile Bundles that offer cost-effective solutions tailored to meet the needs of various income groups.

After organizing her day, she leverages Route Optimization to navigate the city efficiently. The feature helps her select the shortest/fastest routes based on her appointments, allowing Sophie to maximize her field productivity

Maplytics’ Census Data Mapping also provides insights into lifestyle preferences, helping Sophie target specific customer segments more effectively. For instance, the data reveals that the residents of Palermo Soho are young, tech-savvy professionals who prioritize high-speed internet and seamless mobile connectivity. Understanding this, Sophie decided to introduce her company’s High-Speed FiberOptic Plus service, which offers exceptional speed and reliability, ensuring a consistent online experience for this target group.

Connecting the Dots: Lifestyle and Buying Capabilities

Understanding the lifestyle preferences of her target audience is crucial for Sophie’s mission. By leveraging Census Data Mapping, Sophie identifies areas with a high concentration of young professionals, such as Palermo Soho. This neighborhood is known for its vibrant cafes, boutiques, and a tech-savvy population that values connectivity and speed. Here, Sophie plans to roll out her company’s High-Speed FiberOptic Plus internet service, which is specifically designed to cater to the demands of a fast-paced, connected lifestyle.

In contrast, the family-oriented suburb of San Isidro offers a different opportunity. Sophie recognizes that this area is ideal for promoting HomeConnect Bundles—comprehensive packages that combine internet, television, and mobile services. These bundles are perfect for households that seek reliable, integrated communication services at an affordable price.

With multiple stops planned across different parts of the city, Route Optimization ensures Sophie takes the most direct and time-efficient paths, reducing travel time and increasing the number of client visits she can complete each day.

La Boca will be introduced to Affordable Mobile Bundles aimed at capturing a broader market by offering value-driven, cost-effective communication solutions.

Sophie sees Puerto Madero as an opportunity to introduce Unified Communication Solutions (UCS) to the business community.
