CASE STUDY: APPLICATION OF MOBILE CRM "UPWARD" FOR ISSUING DISASTER VICTIM CERTIFICATES AFTER THE TORRENTIAL RAINFALL IN JULY 2020

(https://www.systemforest.com/), UPWARD provided UPWARD licenses free of charge to Hitoyoshi City, Kumamoto Prefecture, Kuma Village, Kumamoto Prefecture, and Sagara Village, Kumamoto Prefecture, in response to the torrential rain in July 2020.
By providing UPWARD, a mobile CRM that combines location information and CRM, free of charge, we were able to speed up the issuance of disaster victim certificates, and the speed of certificate issuance greatly exceeded the level of the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake.

The disaster victim certificate is an essential document for receiving public assistance after a disaster. Residents affected by the disaster must obtain it as soon as possible.

＜The degree of damage is determined by the municipality through a residential disaster certification survey
・The degree of damage is classified as total destruction, major or partial destruction, or partial destruction, and depending on the degree of damage, allowances are paid, property tax is reduced, water rates are reduced or exempted, and other guarantees are provided. Depending on the degree of damage, guarantees such as allowances, property tax reductions, water rate exemptions, etc. are provided.
