Apisphere for Microsoft Outlook

When a meeting is scheduled in Outlook, the plug-in creates a “zone” around the meeting location and the calendar entry. This zone activates several features including mapping, real-time traffic updates and geo-triggered voice and text messages for reminders on the go.

Each zone created through Apisphere for Outlook enables mobile devices to know where a user is located and provide customized information in real-time. The plug-in automatically generates mapping information to provide driving directions to an Outlook calendar appointment and will notify you through email, SMS or phone, when you need to leave to arrive on time.

Apisphere for Outlook can also provide ongoing location-aware mapping and navigation, using real-time data such as traffic updates and road closure information to identify the optimal route.

Additionally, geo-triggered voice and text messages can be created to provide you with reminders or notifications. Messages can be created in Microsoft Outlook and set to automatically trigger when you reach a specific location or enters the pre-defined zone. For example, email messages can be automatically sent every time a you enter and leave a meeting to accurately track time for more precise timesheet records.

It can also provide pre-set reminders upon leaving the zone such as dropping the car off at the rental agency, picking up groceries before heading home or   letting family members know you are on your way home.

The Apisphere for Outlook plug-in can also be integrated with Salesforce CRM to deliver customer information when a salesperson nears a client’s location or request notes and tasks after a meeting.
