Japan is one of the world's most disaster-prone countries, and improving disaster resilience is one of the most important social issues. Disaster surveys in disaster-stricken areas are fraught with difficulties, but UPWARD's location-based technology makes it possible to conduct disaster surveys efficiently.
UPWARD will continue to work with local governments to help improve resilience in Japan.
Thank you very much for selecting our case study. We usually develop and sell services that link location information to CRM (Customer Relationship Management) systems for field workers and essential workers as "partners in sales activities.
UPWARD will continue to grow as a company and as a service to contribute to solving social issues by providing support for such on-site work.
