By clicking on the ‘Category’ option, you can select the field for the entity for which you want to categorize the data on the map. For Account: The sales manager wants to know the annual revenue of the Accounts. He can select Annual Revenue in the category search to plot data according to the annual revenue and check the revenue achieved yet.

This is one of the unspoken truths for any business. Knowing what your customers want, their understanding of products, and feedback are essential. And to know your happy and unhappy customers is crucial. However, the question is; how to know them, bifurcate, understand their feedback, and try to get insights from it?

So, categorizing and dividing them makes the work easy for your team members. Are you thinking: How to categorize them? Here it is: You can use the following three techniques to do so: Programming:Using different coding strategies and defining algorithms, you can filter qualitative content out of quantitative. You define it based on price, service, products, quality, etc. Alternatively, you may also define it based on positive, negative, or neutral values. More simplistically, use the numbering scale and represent them on a scale of 1 to 10. AI: It is magic! Leverage the power of artificial intelligence and interpret whether the feedback is positive, negative, or neutral. You can also make tweaks in the AI algorithm based on different languages and contexts. Sentiment AI: This is a new and emerging field. You can use it to read the feedback of customers, tag the phrases, define positive or negative feedback, and more. It will provide you with quantitative data and will help you define and know your customers’ feedback. You can use any of the three ways to categorize your data or a combination of any two. The method you use solely depends on your company. Once you are done deciding the method and categorizing your customers’ feedback, you can analyze it in detail. Now, analyzing data becomes easier for your team members. It will provide them with in-depth knowledge about your customers’ point of view of your product. Analyzing Feedback:Get the segregated data in a spreadsheet or other visual format. Using it, your team can start the analysis. With analysis, you understand: Precise ratings of your products or services Understand where selling of your products or services is more based on the exact specified area Based on age and gender, you can define what your user base is, how people define your product and use it. You can even get to know what expectations your customers have from the product/services. Once you get the data and perceive your customer expectations, reasons behind using or not using your product, etc., you can make changes. Additionally, based on this data, you can also define your marketing campaigns, define product strategies, and more. All of these together will help you provide your customers with a better experience. Know the root causes:After analyzing your data, you can go much deeper into facts and know what issues your customers are facing. It will help you get more clarity on ways you can improve your customer experience.

However, as an organization grows bigger, customer management becomes more important to ensure a seamless experience. There are several industries or businesses where appointment scheduling is extremely important.
For instance, you own a popular salon or spa having a large customer base. With a continuous inflow of customers, their management can grow harder for you. Without scheduling appointments for them, they would keep coming in randomly. With proper arrangement of appointments for incoming customers in place, it can help save your own and your customers’ time. Slot booking can be manual or automatic. Though manual appointment scheduling can help small or mid-sized businesses, it can be practically challenging for big enterprises. If you have Dynamics 365 CRM, a Dynamics 365 appointment calendar extension can help overcome the challenges. Let’s understand what a Dynamics 365 Calendar appointment scheduling extension can benefit you. Definition of Dynamics 365 Calendar Appointments Scheduling Software This calendar extension enables customers to book an appointment with a service provider via a platform - a website, mobile application, or kiosk. This way, it eliminates the need for manual management of appointments which is both tough and time-consuming. Advantages of Automated Appointment Scheduling for Enterprises Seamless Customer Journey Earlier, customer experience would be restricted to only their in-store, in-app, or on-site, or in-app experience. Today, the definition of customer experience has broadened and covers all the experiences customers have had across all touch base points. Despite technology having digitalized the service industry, there are still a number of physical stores that hold value. Therefore, using digital technology to enhance your customer journey at every stage - from booking an appointment to the in-person visit to your shop is crucial. And a Dynamics 365 Service Calendar extension can help do that. It helps make the first touchpoint where a customer books an appointment interactive and engaging which goes a long way towards enhancing the entire customer journey. Enhanced Customer Experience Appointment scheduling forms a powerful way to serve customers efficiently. Rather than having to visit your store in person or call you for appointment booking, customers can book appointments via a website or app in a hassle-free way if you have Dynamics 365 Calendar appointment scheduling extension integrated. They just can simply visit your online store or app and book a preferable slot out of the slots available. Immediately after they book an appointment, you will receive a notification in your CRM and you can allocate that task to your team. This helps establish a perfect flow without any redundant communication. Increased Staff Productivity An appointment-enabled service in place helps enhance the overall staff productivity. With the knowledge of the appointments of the entire day at your disposal beforehand, you can easily distribute the workload uniformly among your staff members in any particular shift. This is because appointment scheduling would reduce unscheduled check-ins and staff members would be all prepared to serve customers more efficiently which will directly increase the productivity of the staff. Further, it will reduce the chances of a customer waiting for long for their turn. Automation of Customer Communications Manual management of appointments needs both more labor and more time. For example, if a customer needs to cancel or postpone an appointment, doing that manually would consume more time and energy. Moreover, it also will increase unnecessary communication between your team and customers. There are also possibilities that your members commit mistakes while rescheduling or canceling the appointments. Instead, a Dynamics 365 Service Calendar appointment scheduling extension can help reduce such errors by letting customers book, cancel, or postpone appointments right from within your store, site, or app themselves. As appointment scheduling is valuable for service-providing enterprises, choosing a good and efficient appointment scheduling system can be a good idea. This won’t only help streamline appointment management but also enhance customers’ experience.

If you are an online Shopify wholesaler or retailer looking for a Shopify dropshipping app, our AppJetty Dropshipping Manager can help you out.

Our AppJetty Dropshipping Manager can help you get rid of this tedious task and simplify it for you. For example, if you are a Shopify retailer and want to update your vendors about your pending orders; you can simply export (download) the list of those orders and send it to your vendors for them to add fulfillment (tracking id, URL, etc.) in the form of a sheet for the orders placed by customers till then.

Original Blog: https://www.appjetty.com/blog/appjetty-delivery-date-manage-for-shopify-streamline-delivery-operations/ For any e-store to be successful, inventory management is a crucial part. Several errors may creep into your inventory management without you knowing about them. And if you fail to detect those errors and believe that your inventory is smooth and error-free, it could result in a ‘huge’ loss.Let’s understand several common inventory management mistakes that you should avoid, preventing major inventory management issues later.
Failure to Forecast Demand While managing inventory, you must understand that if you aren’t able to forecast the demand of products accurately; it may result in ‘too many’ or ‘fewer’ effects than required. If a bug attacks your inventory management software, your forecast may go wrong and lead to errors in inventory calculation. It may also lead to ‘overproduction’ of less demanded products and vice-versa. This would not only result in financial loss but also in customers’ dissatisfaction. Not Checking Inventory Frequently Enough As the inventory grows in size with growth in business, inventory management might be difficult at times. The result is less frequent inventory checks and several issues left unseen. If you aren’t running inventory checks more frequently, shrinkage and poor forecasting may go unnoticed. This may result in a messy and unmanaged situation where restoring to normalcy can become quite challenging. Too Many Product Variations Having quite a large number of SKUs may not sound like an issue but if not handled properly, it can be. If you purchase the same type of product but with numerous SKUs; it may cause inadvertent counting errors and confusion later. For instance, if two products look alike in terms of appearance and features; they all may be counted as one. This mistake can impact the accuracy of your counts in case those two products are of different sizes, come in boxes different in size, or are of different prices. To avoid this issue, you should be more careful while counting products with similar appearance and features. Using Just Excel Sheets When there was nothing like technology, businesses would still maintain inventory in the most convenient method – using pen and paper. Thanks to the advent of Microsoft Office in the late 20th century, businesses switched from the traditional pen and paper to the more modern ‘Excel’ approach to manage inventory. However, ‘Excel’ sheets don’t suffice for very large businesses and their inventories. If you too use Excel sheets, there may be errors like double-entry of the same product, failure to update any product, etc. As a result, inventory management may go haywire, and resolving the issues risen from confusion or errors may be very tough. In that case, you may need to go through all the changes previously made to find out a single small error that failed your inventory management. Thanks to a plethora of inventory management tools (or modules) that are available now, you can automate your inventory management, and reduce chances of wastage of time and efforts, and most importantly – errors. Inadequate Training Even if you have state-of-the-art inventory management tools and technologies, they won’t be of much avail unless your employees know how to make the best use of them. Here arises the need to properly train your employees – especially the ones in the inventory management department, about how to manage inventory properly. Without proper demos and workshops to teach them how to use the latest technology to update and manage inventory efficiently and productively, you can’t expect them to perform or be proactive.

Let’s take the example of the e-commerce industry and understand how AI is highly favorable for it today. Since the pandemic started, there has been a steady rise in online shopping. If you have an AI-enabled e-commerce mobile app like Magento 2 Mobile app or any other as per your ecommerce platform, it would help you adapt to changing customers’ behavioral patterns and engage them better. With a number of customers refraining from visiting physical stores and ordering products online, AI will help you enhance their journey at every stage. AI-powered features like Chatbots, Smart Product Recommendations (based on previous searches), Automated Product Descriptions, Intelligent Searches Automated Warehouse Management, Automated Email Marketing, Post-Purchase Support), Sales Forecasting, Speech Recognition will help make your mobile app interactive and conversion-oriented. And your business mobile app will help take personalized shopping experience to the next level through all these ‘smart’ features and turn into a ‘smart’ app. Voice-Enabled Search Support ‘Voice-Search’ feature has become even more valuable than ever before. As people wouldn’t want to touch their devices time and again out of fear of possible infection – especially when outdoors; they would look for a way to reduce repeated contacts with mobile devices. Here comes into play voice-search support in mobile apps that can enable customers to search and view what they want through voice commands like in Google Voice Search. Further, these voice commands help make the search faster as it takes less time to speak than to type something. Voice-enabled search helps make the search more accessible by letting customers pronounce the search terms (products/services) correctly all by themselves. Moreover, it also helps business owners in simplifying their various business processes. For example, the admin can fetch stock details of a particular product through a voice-search supported business app instead of having to type the name of the product manually every time. Similarly, healthcare, education, tourism, and several other industries can leverage the voice-search support feature. Wearable App Integration Of late, there has been a surge in demand for ‘wearable apps’. Yes – you heard it right! Gone are the days when people would have apps only in their smartphones. With the ever-advancing digital technology, mobile app development companies have embraced developing the latest state-of-the-art technology – wearable app integration. The total number of connected wearable devices is forecast to surpass the 1 bn mark by 2022. That is why, a number of mobile app development companies have incorporated this feature of wearable app integration into their apps. There are several different apps for different purposes out there that feature this. A few examples of popular apps supporting this feature are Spotify, Google Keep, etc. Apps for Foldables Now that Samsung has already launched foldable phone models like Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, etc.; mobile app development companies have got ready to tap into this foldability. As per Samsung, a number of popular Android apps optimized for foldable phones including popular ones like Amazon Prime Video, Spotify, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Following the trend, numerous mobile app development companies – especially gaming and video streaming app developers are already thinking of making their apps ‘foldable’. And this trend won’t die down anywhere but will grow more in the coming years. Foldable phones will also give rise to a whole new slew of productivity apps. Over To You 2020 is about to end, and 2021 and years ahead are going to be the years of huge ‘changes’ in the mobile application development sector.
