ContactsAround

You have a customer appointment from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Stuttgart. However, the customer appointment is already completed at 11 am. Normally you would now drive back.
However, you would like to use the time to visit other customers or interested parties - but WHO is in the vicinity or on the way? Your addresses are stored either in your Outlook at home or in your company's Exchange...

For such cases, there are usually apps like "AroundMe", "Where to?" and Co. - All these apps determine the current location and display environment-specific data on the map of the mobile device with further info.

However, to date there is no app that displays your contacts/addresses from Outlook/Exchange on the map of the mobile device with additional information and can also transfer them to the car navigation - and that WITHOUT having to synchronize all contacts on the mobile device!

ContactsAround shows you - starting from your current location - your contacts within a radius of x km on the map and also offers a direct connection to car navigation.

This makes ContactsAround the ideal support in the daily work routine for every sales representative - from the sales representative to the insurance man.

Most user-friendly app on the market

OLXContactsAround consists of an Outlook tool and the native app for Android and iOS. You can use contacts from mailboxes, Office 365 as well as Personal Folders (PST).

The Outlook tool creates a password-protected file from the selected contact data, which is automatically uploaded to your FTP server. In the OLXContactsAround app you only have to enter the address to your FTP directory as well as email and password, test the connection - done!

There is NO replication/synchronization necessary and the contact data can be used after the upload WITHOUT internet!

Direct connection to car navigation

OLXContactsAround uses integrated geodata as well as real-time location tracking. The app can be connected to any car navigation and offers support for both traditional voice navigation and ∥what3words.

Flexible map views

In the OLXContactsAround app, you can use different map views, such as zoom, standard, satellite or terrain, as well as view the traffic situation, public transport and traffic incidents.

The "Radius" and "Category filter" filter options also allow you to refine the contacts displayed on the map: for example, you can display only contacts from the "Customers" category within a radius of 5km and customize the color of the pins for these contacts. 

With the automatic refresh function, the map updates in the background as you move with the car.

100% DSGVO compliant

The data is provided password-protected on your own server. There is no data exchange with third parties. Even a mixing of data with any contact data from the cell phone can be excluded.

You can also freely define which contact data is provided.
