Every industry has one thing in common: the need to find and connect with the right businesses. GrabNear makes that easier by turning Google Maps into a live directory you can save directly into your CRM. Here are five industries using it every day — and exactly how they do it.
SaaS sales teams looking to expand into a new city or country use GrabNear to build a prospect list fast. They search Google Maps for businesses in their target segment — "accounting firms in Amsterdam", "logistics companies in Jakarta" — and save hundreds of contacts to GrabNear CRM in minutes rather than days.
From there, the team uses the WhatsApp button to send personalised outreach using pre-built templates, and tracks responses in the GrabNear pipeline. A new market that once required a week of manual research can now be covered in an afternoon.
Real estate consultants and property tech companies use GrabNear to map out every real estate agency, broker, and developer in a target area. Whether they're building a referral network in Dubai, Bangkok, or São Paulo, GrabNear gives them the full picture — with contact numbers ready to act on.
Teams filter by rating to prioritise active, well-reviewed agencies, save the shortlist to GrabNear, and start calling or WhatsApp-messaging the same day. The result is a warmed contact list in hours rather than a week.
"We used to spend two days building a prospect list for a new city. Now it takes a morning. The rest of the week we're actually talking to people."

Marketing agencies constantly need to fill their pipeline with local businesses that need their services. GrabNear lets them search for restaurants, retailers, clinics, salons, and other local business categories in any city — and save the ones with weaker online presence as warm leads.
One agency's business development team targets a new city every week, using GrabNear to build a fresh list of 50–100 prospects in under an hour. Low review count and no website listing are treated as buying signals — businesses that haven't invested in their online presence are exactly the clients that need their services.
Field sales reps covering a territory use GrabNear before a trip to map out every prospect in a specific area. They search for their target business type — "pharmacies in Nairobi North", "hardware stores in Melbourne CBD" — save the full list to GrabNear CRM, and export to CSV for route planning.
This replaces hours of manual research with a few clicks, letting reps spend more time selling and less time preparing. Phone numbers are formatted correctly for WhatsApp, so reps can send a quick introduction before they arrive — warming the call before they walk in the door.
Medical device reps and pharmaceutical distributors use GrabNear to locate clinics, hospitals, dental practices, and specialist centres in a target region. Google Maps is one of the most complete directories of healthcare facilities worldwide — and GrabNear makes it actionable.
Teams save contacts by specialty and area, then use the WhatsApp or Call button to book appointments with procurement managers or practice owners. The ability to quickly cover an entire city's healthcare directory — and export the list to CSV for compliance tracking — has made GrabNear a practical tool for regulated industries.
Common pattern across all 5 industries: Time that used to go into researching and compiling contact lists now goes into actually contacting them. GrabNear compresses the research phase from hours to minutes — and that changes what a sales team can accomplish in a week.
