Dynamics 365 Sales - Previewing the New Mobile App

Coming soon to general availability, the Dynamics 365 Sales Mobile App helps users plan their day and keep updated with important information.

Now available in public preview, the new app is specifically designed for sales scenarios and offers an alternative to the main Dynamics 365 model-driven app which adapts to mobile devices.

Although the Covid-19 pandemic has reduced the mobility of many sales professionals, the new app is optimised to help field sellers save time and increase productivity, wherever they work.

What are the main highlights of using the Dynamics 365 Sales Mobile app?

• Stay up to date and prepare for customer engagements with insights surfaced from Dynamics 365 and Outlook, as well as AI-generated reminders.
• Provides a modern, intuitive mobile experience that makes it easy to access customer detail with relevance search.
• Find and interact with sales data from a new home screen. This includes upcoming meeting, recently viewed contacts and other records and insights.
• Log reports and share information using simplified forms and native mobile device capabilities such as camera and voice-to-text.
• Utilise travel time by logging new information after meetings, when it’s fresh in mind; this could include adding notes, creating contacts and updating records on-the-go.
