St. Care Holding is a nationwide provider of a wide range of home care services, including home nursing care, home bathing, and home nursing care services. Sales representatives visit about 10 to 15 in-home care support offices per day to propose services and build relationships. In order to improve work efficiency at these sales sites, reduce the burden on staff, and provide higher quality care, the company was working to review its paper- and Excel-dependent work processes. The "stay detection function" that enables automated activity reporting, support system during implementation, and reliability in terms of security were decisive factors in their decision to introduce UPWARD.

Main effects of introducing UPWARD

・Reduction of overtime hours through mobile activity reporting
‍Activity
reporting can now be done via mobile apps while on the road or during gaps in travel, eliminating the need for reporting work after visits. This has resulted in a reduction in average monthly overtime hours within one year of introduction.
The
map function has made visit planning more efficient
‍Visit
destinations can now be visualized on a map, increasing the number of visits to neighboring offices using 10-15 minute gaps in time.
‍Reinforced internal communication through real-time activity records
‍The
quality of activity records has improved, as detailed reports can be made while memories are fresh. At internal meetings, qualitative information, including the atmosphere of the work site, is now shared, and discussions are more in line with the actual situation.
