EventFlow

A location-based sales prospecting app for upcoming sports events.

Sales reps needed a faster way to find customer accounts near upcoming games. I built EventFlow in Microsoft Power Apps so reps can choose a league, select games, and open the corresponding set of nearby sales opportunities.
