Always on the go? Let the Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement (CRM) mobile app keep you informed no matter where you’re at. You don’t need to be in front of your computer to know if your customers are being taken care of, or to get a phone number or contact on an account. The mobile app is one of the more under-utilized features in CRM, and yet has so much to offer your team. It’s also a great way to help promote user adoption in your company. If your team has access to find, add, or update data no matter where they are, they are more likely to continue to use CRM as their go-to source of information.
The Dynamics 365 mobile app is available for free in the app store and can be easily downloaded to your phone or tablet so you can take advantage of real-time visibility into your system. One of the many applications available in the mobile app is the Customer Service Hub.
Out of the box, the Customer Service Hub dashboard will let you know how many cases and activities are active, and allow you to drill down into each to check status or even provide updates. Plus, you have the ability to customize your dashboard to better fit your specific business needs. Empower your team by giving them the ability to create a case in the field. Imagine taking a call from a customer offsite. Rather than waiting until you get back to the office to use your computer, you can create a case right from your phone! Your customer is getting the attention they need right away, and you can avoid delaying or even forgetting about documenting their situation.
