Research shows that meme-based communication can increase engagement by up to 10× compared to plain text posts. Humor and visuals make messages easier to understand and remember!
This is probably the reason why many of our friend groups converse in memes and gifs. The ones based on work and corporate lives are extremely popular!
We have all seen those memes that perfectly capture the chaos of a hectic workday or a messed-up workflow.
- The meeting that could have been an email.
- The employee is stuck in traffic while the client waits.
- The sales rep who realizes the next meeting is 40 miles away after already reaching the opposite side of the city.
They are funny because they are painfully relatable.
- Behind every meme-worthy moment is usually a small operational gap.
- Schedules planned without geography.
- Customer data is locked inside tables instead of maps.
- Field teams are navigating blindly without knowing who is nearby or how long travel will actually take.
This is exactly where location intelligence changes the story.
Tools like Maplytics, built for Microsoft Dynamics 365, Power Apps, Power Pages, and Dataverse, bring CRM data onto interactive maps so businesses can see what is happening in the real world. So while the internet continues to turn workplace struggles into memes, we decided to look at them a little differently. In this blog, we take a few classic situations that feel straight out of a meme template and explore one simple question.
What if Maplytics had been used instead?
Chances are, the joke might never have happened!
Dynamics CRM, with its rows and columns of data, is very confusing. The monochrome maps do not make the data any easier to understand. Imagine being new to Dynamics CRM and having to figure out the data of thousands of clients. It definitely would take up all day. With the colourful Azure and Bing maps given by Maplytics, this visualization becomes easy and quick.
Data can be viewed, understood, and processed in minutes. The records are plotted at the correct geographic spots in real-time, and they are differentiated with colourful, customizable pushpins. The criteria-based categorization is an added advantage.
Yes, exactly this, Maplytics allows the pushpins to be customized. So, for a lumbar manufacturing business, the pushpins can actually be logs of wood. Similarly, a transportation business can have trucks as its pushpins. This makes analysis and decision-making also easy!
It is often the case that in a state of panic or just generally, we humans tend to search the world for a missing object, but forget to search our own backyards. This error is common in businesses as well. In an attempt to complete the pipeline, sales teams aim for clients and leads across the globe but refrain from checking their neighborhoods. With Proximity or Radius Search, businesses can search the relevant potential clients right next to them or nearby!
Working with clients nearby becomes very easy as you can quickly visit them in case of concerns, establish a relationship of trust, be part of each other’s lives to an extent, and so on. Also, targeting locally saves a lot on campaign and travel costs.
Cannibalization is a very heavy word. But it is a reality of cut-throat competition in and outside any organization. Sales teams with improper organization often eat into each other’s clients. That is not a good sign for the organization and the client. Hence, proper sales territories with dedicated sales resources are a must for growth. With Maplytics’ Territory Management, this can be done within a few clicks. The territories can also be adjusted and revised as the workflow proceeds and increases.
Territory Assignment Rules are important for automated territory planning. The lands cannot be divided using pen and paper. It requires proper measurements, calculations, and a study of all keyholder coordinates. Maplytics understands this, and its Territory Management follows the suite.
Pen and paper are outdated for scheduling as well. It leads to a lot of back and forth, scribbling, and losing on important factors like traffic, tolls, highways, lunch breaks, etc. Auto Scheduling makes planning possible before time, factors in all the possibilities, allows ad hoc changes, and helps everyone to be punctual.
Breaks can be scheduled, buffer time can be added, traffic conditions can be factored in, and the right people with the right skills can be assigned.
Optimized routes are required in all walks of life. Nobody wants to get stuck in traffic, lose routes, get late, and be troubled. Route Optimization in Maplytics offers the best flexible routes and the best services.
Directions get tricky when lands are evolving every day. Imagine your situation if you are a salesperson traveling to new cities on a regular basis. How do you find essential places like cafes, hotels, restaurants, pharmacies, gas stations, airports, etc., when you have a meeting schedule and no time to run around?! That is when Point of Interest Location Search comes into use.
Maplytics helps with this feature situated right inside the CRM. So, the salesperson is taken care of within the Dynamics itself.
If a salesperson is following his route to a meeting and gets stuck due to a vehicle breakdown, he needs immediate help! That help can be sent to him if he is being tracked in Real-Time. Nearby salespeople can be summoned, additional vehicles can be sent, clients in the waiting can be informed, and time and life can be saved quickly! Real Time Tracking acts before sending an SOS.
Businesses are multinational in today’s day and age, and the salesforce speaks in multiple languages. To keep all on the same page while catering to them with their mother tongue is Maplytics’ motto. Hence, we provide Maplytics in 11+ global languages! People speaking multiple languages can work together in harmony!
Well, Maplytics is a perfect replacement for most geo-analytical applications for Dynamics 365. Some facts do not need support! Try it out to know for yourself!
