Whether you\u2019re a sales representative heading to multiple client locations in a day or a service manager assigning tasks to your field teams, every extra mile and every wasted second eats into productivity and profit.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where Proximity Search in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maplytics.com\/\">Maplytics<\/a>, powered by Azure Maps integration exclusively for Microsoft Dynamics 365, could step in as a solution. With this powerful feature, you can instantly locate customers within a specific radius (distance) or travel time from a starting point and generate optimized directions between them, all within your CRM.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s explore how it works and why it can transform the way you plan and execute field visits, appointments, meetings, etc.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>What Is Proximity or Radius Search in Maplytics?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maplytics.com\/radius-search-dynamics-crm\/\">Proximity Search<\/a> allows Dynamics 365 users to plot a chosen location on the map. It could be a customer address, a store, a user\u2019s GPS location, or even a manually entered point anywhere on the map, and find all relevant CRM records located within a specified distance or drive time.<\/p>\n<p>When combined with Azure Maps inside Maplytics, the records become distinctly visible on the map, and you can see who is nearby and get precise, optimized directions between multiple points.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine being able to answer questions like:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><em>&#8220;Which prospects are within a 5-mile radius of my current <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maplytics.com\/map-appointment-dynamics-crm\/\"><em>appointment<\/em><\/a><em> location?&#8221;<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>&#8220;What\u2019s the fastest route between my current location and this ad hoc service call nearby?&#8221;<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>&#8220;Can I squeeze in a visit to that new lead while I\u2019m in the area?&#8221;<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u201cMy meeting just got postponed, can I squeeze in another meeting in that are and utilize my time?\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>With Maplytics, you can do all of that in just a few clicks.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Why Use Proximity Search in Azure Maps?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Let\u2019s look at the main reasons this feature is a game-changer:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>No more zig-zagging across town. Proximity Search enables you to plan efficient routes, even to new places, reducing mileage and fuel expenses.<\/li>\n<li>Field reps can fit more visits into the same workday if some scheduled meetings are canceled or delayed.<\/li>\n<li>Being able to respond quickly to nearby opportunities (like stopping by a prospect\u2019s office after another meeting for emergency talks) builds stronger relationships and trust.<\/li>\n<li>Sales and service managers can ensure the local areas aren\u2019t underserved or overlooked.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>How to Use Proximity Search in Maplytics with Azure Maps?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><strong><u>Step 1: Open the Maplytics Map View<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From inside Microsoft Dynamics 365, go to Maplytics List Control for any of the entities, Accounts, Contacts, Leads, etc. The CRM records will appear plotted on <strong>Azure Maps<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><u><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-22799 size-full\" style=\"border: 1px solid #000000;
