12 Days of Christmas

“Each act of kindness sows the seeds of joy, hope, and community!”

The holiday season is a time of warmth, generosity, and gratitude. For businesses, it’s also an opportunity to give back to society and make a meaningful impact. Using Maplytics, the certified geo-mapping & geo-analytical solution for Microsoft Dynamics 365, Power Pages, and Dataverse businesses can organize and execute their charitable initiatives effectively. Here’s a 12-day schedule for giving back, with Maplytics playing a key role in each activity.

12 Days of Christmas

Day 1: Supporting Senior Citizens

The first day focuses on bringing joy to senior citizens in old age homes. With Maplytics’ Proximity Search, businesses can locate nearby old-age homes. Using Auto Scheduling, employees of the company can plan visits, arrange engaging activities like musical concerts, or storytelling sessions, and optimize travel routes to maximize time spent with the residents. This will ensure that more homes are visited efficiently.

Day 2: Feeding the Hungry

Organize a food drive for homeless shelters and underprivileged communities. Use Maplytics’ Territory Management to divide locations into manageable areas for collection and distribution teams. The existing sales territories can also be used for distribution and the salesperson in charge of the sales can be in charge of the distribution. By identifying local shelters or soup kitchens via the Point of Interest Search, the food can be distributed effectively. Route optimization ensures on-time delivery without wastage.

Day 3: Encouraging Literacy

Partner with libraries to donate books or set up temporary reading sessions for underprivileged children. With Maplytics, businesses can locate libraries and schools in underserved areas. Employees can update their Calendars in advance with proper schedules to plan donation events and reading sessions, spreading the joy of knowledge during the festive season.

Day 4: Empowering Orphans

Brighten the lives of children in orphanages by organizing gifting events or festive parties. Using Maplytics’ Heat Maps, businesses can identify orphanages in areas with higher needs or financial inadequacies. This ensures equitable distribution of resources and gifts, bringing smiles to every child’s face.

Day 5: Advocating for Animal Welfare

Dedicate this day to helping animals by supporting shelters and conducting adoption drives. With Maplytics, organizations can locate veterinary hospitals or animal shelters and plan visits or donation drives. Optimize routes to transport pet food, blankets, or toys, ensuring a smooth and impactful event.

Day 6: Environmental Action

Plan a tree plantation drive to promote environmental sustainability. Use Maplytics’ Auto Scheduling to assign tasks to different teams and create detailed plans for the day. Businesses can identify areas requiring green cover, schedule activities for volunteers, and even share mobile-compatible routes to the locations with participants via Dynamics 365.

Day 7: Aiding the Differently-Abled

Partner with organizations that support individuals with disabilities. Maplytics can help identify such organizations and schedule workshops or skill development programs. Teams can use the software to optimize routes for volunteers traveling to different centers, ensuring maximum participation.

Day 8: Supporting Women’s Shelters

This day is dedicated to women’s empowerment. Businesses can use Maplytics to locate shelters and plan donation drives for essentials like clothing, hygiene kits, contraceptives, and educational resources. Using Route Optimization, volunteers can visit multiple shelters, maximizing their impact within a single day.

Day 9: Brightening Hospitals

Visit hospitals to spread holiday cheer among patients and healthcare workers. Plan carol singing events or distribute festive treats using Maplytics to find hospitals within a specific radius. Teams can use Turn-by-Turn Navigation to reach multiple locations efficiently.

Day 10: Promoting Local Businesses

Support local artisans or small businesses by organizing festive markets or craft fairs. Use Maplytics to identify local vendors and schedule events. Territory Management ensures that every part of the community benefits, while Route Optimization helps streamline the logistics of event setup and vendor coordination.

Day 11: Assisting Underprivileged Students

Donate stationery, school supplies, or gadgets to students in need. Maplytics’ Proximity Search can locate schools or community centers where donations can be distributed. Teams can optimize their visits with turn-by-turn directions, ensuring smooth and timely execution.

Day 12: Spreading Holiday Cheer
