When you have new client details, there are chances that you don’t have geocode data of those clients. In that case, MappyField provides a functionality called Assign Bulk Geocode process. Based on customer address, city, state, zip code, and country, Dynamics 365 map will provide geocode data of those customers.
Having geocode data will help you to get customers’ locations. Here are some steps that will help you to assign bulk geocode to the customers in Dynamics 365 Map.
