For someone who has spent years working in sales, you are likely to remember MapPoint. MapPoint was a real godsend – allowing users to view, edit, and integrate maps. Godsend because that wasn’t the era of Google Maps and Waze. Created in 1998, it sold about 400,000 copies of its product.
Microsoft, for many years, supported MapPoint. But suddenly, in 2014, MapPoint said goodbye to the world. And with it also came an end of field mapping capabilities in Microsoft Dynamics CRM.
Today, Microsoft Dynamics 365 provides sales and marketing professionals a major advantage. Its AI capabilities empower sellers to drive personal engagement with customers. However, it has one major drawback. It lacks field mapping.
Therefore, many business owners take the old school approach – either use Google Maps or highlight details old-school using printed maps. This leaves a lot of room for error and can lead to missed opportunities.
After MapPoint’s existence, many solutions took over the market, empowering sales reps to visualize the CRM data on a map. MappyField is one such effort by AppJetty, Biztech’s child company.
About MappyField 365
CRM data is vital for businesses. But sometimes, sales reps cannot use it to the fullest. They need much more than the basic functionality a CRM has to offer. AppJetty’s MappyField 365 plugin provides geo-analytical solutions that help leaders in sales and marketing.
CRM Mapping Plugin: A Glance
Our mapping integration is a conscious step towards empowering the leaders in sales and marketing with business intelligence. Therefore, MappyField 365 includes a wide range of functionalities that enable professionals to track, evaluate, and enhance the performance by predicting relevant insights.
All the changes we have had so far are a way to make the geolocation better at every step. The rebranding of Dynamics CRM mapping integration, Quick Maps, to MappyField 365 is one such example. We realized our tool (in fact!) added more value in resource management and field service when interacting with users and taking their feedback (something we always considered). Hence, we decided to give an appropriate name that focuses on the core functionality, i.e., location intelligence.
Moreover, enhancements in user experience, adding features like customization, dynamic dashboard, security template, etc., are also a part of the upgrade. Such changes ensure the users get the best of the product. To know more about MappyField 365, you can visit the store page of AppJetty.
