Microsoft Dynamics 365 is an enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM) software. Dynamics 365 specializes in managing various operations of business such as finances, supply chain, sales, and customer service. Basically, it does everything you don’t want to do yourself for your business…unless you enjoy spending extra time on menial tasks, but hey, you do you.
The primary selling point of Microsoft Dynamics 365 is that it provides a united platform, preventing the need for multiple software applications. That’s always nice because who wants to buy tons of licenses, or worse try to remember all of the passwords to them. One advantage of Microsoft Dynamics 365 is the marketing abilities. Dynamics helps businesses execute marketing campaigns, manage leads, and analyze marketing performance data. It even automates many of these functions, providing a more “hands off” approach to routine tasks and workflows on the marketing front.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 is an effective way to improve project management. With tracking and reporting, Dynamics 365 allows users to easily up-keep all aspects of the tasks at hand. I would guess it beats that old notebook planner people used to keep track of all their project line items.
For locator software, Microsoft Dynamics provides an efficient way to import dealer, store or partner data to the locator…which is probably what you are here to learn more about.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 and MetaLocator
MetaLocator recently rolled out a new data integration with Microsoft Dynamics 365, not to toot our own horn, but it’s pretty neat.
This integration allows businesses utilizing the CRM to directly import partner data from Dynamics into MetaLocator. Microsoft Dynamics 365 joins SalesForce, Google Drive, HubSpot, Amazon S3 and other various platforms from which MetaLocator can collect data.
Maybe you’re new here, you may be wondering why MetaLocator would integrate with Microsoft Dynamics…
First off, Microsoft Dynamics is one of the top CRM platforms, boasting over 40,000 small and midsize business customers.
Second, MetaLocator wants to provide easy ways to streamline your data processes. The ultimate goal of using MetaLocator is to eliminate recurring manual data updates. By allowing automated data imports from a large CRM, like Microsoft Dynamics 365, MetaLocator can upload and update the data in your locator faster and with no room for human error. This gives you more time to work on other pressing tasks in your day…or gives you an excuse to take a longer lunch break.
Another major reason is importing data yourself can be a pain in the…you know what. Updating data by hand can be even worse. It’s tedious, time consuming and worst of all, never ending. Your data records need constant updating in an ever changing business environment. Seriously? Why would you put yourself through this hassle when you automate it with Dynamics. See, it really is a better “hands off” option.
