Mobile CRM lets your mobile or remote employees use mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets to access, update and interact with customer data wherever they are. The best mobile CRM solutions let mobile workers do everything they could do with CRM at their desktop
Allows you too….
1st
Mobile CRM gives you access to all your CRM data directly from your smartphone or tablet.
2nd
With mobile CRM, your sales team has immediate access to critical information at exactly the time they need it. No matter where they are, mobile CRM allows them to stay connected, access account information, view customer purchase history, log activities, and collect new leads.
With all the information they need at their fingertips, sales people using a mobile CRM system can spend less time tracking down contact information, trying to recall conversations with prospects, searching through emails, etc. This allows them to have more time to do what they do best – sell.
While mobile CRM certainly benefits the sales reps on the road, it also benefits sales managers back at the office who want to stay informed. Mobile CRM gives sales managers on-demand access to everything that is happening with their team. This increased insight allows them to be more proactive and respond to potential problems before they arise.
3rd
Instant interaction with mobile users – Leverage geolocation to schedule service workers more effectively, respond to clients needs quickly by assigning resources by availability and location to the need.
Who can benefit from a mobile CRM?
With the ability to easily define security and other access preferences to individuals and groups of users, anyone who needs to interact with customer data can use mobile CRM. This includes sale managers and executives, field service technicians and other mobile workers. In short any CRM user can benefit.
User experience
Jennifer a CSR for a service based company worked from the companies call center to schedule client appointments and assign them to the appropriate technician based on skillset and location. Because her shift ended at 3 (and technicians worked later) she would like to pop out her phone in the evening or early morning to give her a head start on what was completed, what needed to be rescheduled, what possible issues came up requiring special equipment etc. She could do this easily and quickly without going over to her computer (kicking the kids off)… she could do this without having to stop what she was doing and give her a sense of how her day was going to start…
1st - Give your sales team immediate access to account history, product information, price lists and promotions to offer customers more options and build sales.
2nd - Accelerate customer buying decisions by delivering the information they need when they need it – either in their office or in the field. No longer are the days where you have to tell your customer “I am currently on the road, I will get you that info when I get back to the office”
3rd - Reduce the time between service delivery and billing to gain cash velocity that will cover expenses and fuel growth. Your mobile service team can invoice from the field and even capture customers signatures on their mobile devices. Using the Field service solution a mobile CRM user can complete onsite service from work order to invoice.
4th - Get real-time information and reduce errors resulting from re-keying through data collection in the field on hand held devices. Capture customer issues while on site, create cases and alert them of that. Add notes to the client records after a meeting or phone call, record that lead while at lunch with a prospect.
5th - Deliver meaningful data that directly applies to each employee’s role no matter where they are located.
6th - User adoption is crucial to the success of your CRM solution. If they don't like the way it looks and works on their mobile device they won't use it.
7th – Globally search records. Users can update records on the fly quickly and easily (new features like mobile controls and voice activation using Cortana allow data creation with less effort) . Capture data offline and sync up when you are back online.
8th – Mobile CRM is quick and easy to deploy, and very easy to customize – removing the need for expensive programming and IT and administration time & expense
Statistics from the Aberdeen Group Benchmark Report
What you need
claims-based authentication (2013 & up) and internet facing deployment (IFD 2011 & up).
smart phone or tablet – down load the appropriate app for your device
Login – Add CRM URL and your credentials
That is literally all you need to do to start using CRM out of the box. From there you can customize the mobile experience for your business and user requirements.
What about my blackberry? BlackBerry devices don’t have an app but Microsoft Dynamics CRM can be accessed by using the BlackBerry mobile browser. The following tables lists the devices supported to run Microsoft Dynamics CRM in the BlackBerry mobile browser.
Microsoft currently has two phone apps available, depending on what version of CRM you are on and what you business requirements are will determine which app you should use. The resco client is another option
Resco pricing $25 per month (semi annual) or purchase $399 per user
Microsoft field service provides a OOB solution for the resco client to access all the features in the field service suite.
Users can view their schedule,
access and schedule work orders assigned to them,
view a geographical mapping of their scheduled work orders,
Get turn by turn directions (reducing travel time and route planning)
Knowledge base access
And client approval (capture signatures, generate invoices)
Imagine the features of the CRM for Tablet app adapted to the smartphone small screen size—one tab at a time. Users simply swipe left and right along the Dashboards and Forms to see all of the same content
Easy configuration

Pin to homepage
Pin records, views and even dashboards to your homepage – Your on the road heading to a clients location, you can pin their account, contact, opportunity or cases records to your homepage for easy access. Expand to call or email right from the tile.
Dashboards
Dashboards now available on the CRM phone app (not on the CRM mobile express), drill down to charts and data
4Columns
4 columns of data available, no longer limited to 2 as on express
Business process bar
Process driven experience with the process bar on the phone, move forward or back through stages, switch processes all from the phone app.
Address to Map
Address fields are now dynamic and will display location on the map just by clicking the address.
Mobile Controls
Having less time and precision while working on the go is a known challenge. In Dynamics CRM 2016, Microsoft introduced over a dozen new Mobile Controls that can replace any standard data entry field on forms for phone and tablet clients. These mobile-only controls are improved versions designed for hands-on tasks like entering data and provide a more appealing and faster way to consume data while on-the-go.
Some examples are – signature controls, sliders (radial and linear) flip switches and more.
