“Imagination is empowered with a combination of curves, lines, and dots”- that wise woman
The inception of User Manuals to be shared along with products started as a marketing gimmick. The objective was to make the buyer feel self-reliant. But its usefulness extended leaps and bounds and manuals became a compulsory part of the package. These written booklets then evolved into ones with pictures and diagrams and understanding became easier and faster. The manuals became inclusive of those who could not read. The pictorial representations evolved into situational representations and case studies were sold in the form of diagrams. All of it has been making life easier over the past half a decade and Team Maplytics felt apt to join the bandwagon!

Radius/ Proximity Search
Many times, client meetings that are pre-scheduled get canceled or postponed due to ad hoc situations. The field reps in such cases have spare time at hand. They have the ability to search for a client nearby and fix up an impromptu meeting. This is where Radius Search comes in handy. Available clients around the current locations at a distance or travel time of choice can be searched and visited. The following comic shall help to visualize it.
Territory Management
Balanced territories are a blessing for any Sales team. Maplytics starts by assigning all the records to a suitable territory. These territories can then be extended, and redesigned, along with its records being reassigned. The flexibility of maintaining balanced territories can be explored in the following short
Auto Scheduling
Client appointments for a day/s can be auto-scheduled using maps within Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM. The schedules can be updated in case of ad-hoc changes. This way both the reps and the managers are pre-planned, organized, and ready for the appointments. The reps know their schedules and can plan personal appointments accordingly. The next piece makes it a bit more tangible.
Route Optimization
If a sales rep has been allotted 4 restaurants, to pay a visit to in a day, this feature helps in plotting an optimized travel route that is shortest in terms of the distance he’ll have to travel and the time taken to travel. It also helps in finding possible traffic-free, highway-free, and toll-free routes. The routes come with turn-by-turn navigation routes and the reps can be rerouted in case of sudden requirements. Here is a comic strip representing the same
POI Location
The reps on business travels need to find places such as restaurants, cafes, hotels, gas stations, airports, etc. frequently. In new regions, it gets tough to find the exact places of interest within the vicinity or along the convenient route. Point Of Interest Location helps exactly in that. The reps can choose from the options available and also get travel directions to the place of choice. Here is a story of two such reps using POI Location
The icons for quick access make finding the day-to-day pitstop places faster. The following short helps us realize how.
Multi-Language
English might be the business language of the world but it is not an ideal parameter to comprehend the skills of a person. Not all skilled workers are experts in English and hence, some instructions are better understood in their local languages. To form a balance and ease communication, Maplytics is available in 10+ global languages such as German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Turkish, Hungarian, Dutch, Arabic, Polish, and Russian along with English as the default language.
