Any company that interacts with a customer, needs to dive deeper into how to do it better. You need to know how they react to your marketing campaigns, what is selling where the buyers’ age group, and whatnot. All of this data already comes to you in your Dynamics CRM.
Going through this data and analyzing it can get cumbersome. So a heat map of all this data overlaid on a map makes it a whole lot easier.
Dynamics 365 map Integration provides the facility to visualize and analyze the CRM records on a Heat map by selecting the data sources of the DynamicsCRM.
MappyField 365 heatmap provides a graphical representation of the CRM data where values are depicted by color. Heatmap makes it easy to visualize and measure complex data on the map based on the specific region.
An administrator can set the color for the records under Heatmap settings and get the records on the heatmap as per the color selection.
