Auto Scheduling in Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM

Our meticulous planning saved the situation

“I agree, Steve has been your preferred POC for technical fallouts, but he is scheduled for other appointments till Friday”, Jason, the Manager mentioned to a client over the call. “But don’t worry, Lianna’s scheduled to be in your part of town tomorrow. She should be able to make an ad-hoc visit to check your problem out,” Jason added scanning through the pre-planned schedules of all his field reps.

Advanced scheduling gives a clear view of available time slots for spontaneous appointments.

Proactive appointment scheduling

Route Optimization within Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM has enabled the Sales Managers to allot routes to the field representatives. Maplytics upgrades this routing functionality by creating and saving optimized routes for scheduled appointments. This provides visibility into planned routes and appointments over a span of days/weeks within Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM. One key feature of Maplytics is that it helps users plan their daily meeting schedules in detail, including the time of the meeting, break time, buffer time, and more.

But hey, is there more?

It also enables the reps and managers to view the routes on the map that are required to reach the destinations scheduled for the day. Map-based visualizations can help track meeting completion and make real-time decisions.

So, when Lianna takes over the ad-hoc appointment, she can view it on her dashboard in her scheduled appointments along with its time, location, optimized route to reach it from her previous appointment location, duration of the appointment, etc. The distinction of Trip Summary, Appointment Calendar, and the Optimized Route plotted on the map makes understanding the schedule and using the route easy!

…and there is more

auto scheduling

Auto-Scheduling allows for plotting waypoints on the map and creating an optimized automated route. One can register the default preferences for the Auto Scheduling card in the Configuration detail records to proceed and plot an automated plan on the map. This enables the user to follow the schedule over days and keep track of the appointments. Additionally, users have the ability to Check-In/Check-Out for these meetings/appointments from the meeting location. After creating the schedule on the map in Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM the Manager can create the routes and activities for appointments, services activities, and resource bookings.

Do too many appointments spoil the plan?

When a manager is handling multiple field reps, it becomes troublesome trying to create, manage and maintain schedules for all of them manually and keep track in real time. So, Auto Scheduling assists the Manager to plan schedules in Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM for multiple reps at once.

Maplytics makes it easy to manage schedules for multiple users by assigning each user a separate route color or color legend. Auto Scheduling is smart. Users can set Advanced Preferences to consider the existing meetings of the field/sales reps and choose to either reschedule those meetings or add them to their optimized schedule on the map in Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM and then create the schedule automatically based on the preferences.
