UPWARD begins offering AI scan functionality for building plan identification.

~ AI analyzes identification information simply by taking a picture. Supports early approaches and optimal proposals ~

UPWARD, Inc. (Location: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Ryosuke Kaneki; hereinafter referred to as UPWARD) has launched an AI scan function specialized for construction plan notices (notification of construction plans) in "UPWARD AI Scan," an AI image analysis option for the sales support app "UPWARD" specialized for field sales.

About the Construction Plan Identification AI Scan Function

Simply by photographing the notification with a smartphone, AI instantly analyzes construction information such as the client, contractor, usage, structure, total floor area, and scheduled construction start date, and automatically associates and registers it with leads and opportunities on Salesforce*. The registered data is linked to target lists and UPWARD's target map on Salesforce, enabling timely approaches before construction begins and optimal proposals based on the data-driven construction information.

The format of construction plan notices is not a simple table format, and the notation patterns for each item vary widely. This function is characterized by its ability to absorb these complexities and implement high-precision analysis by incorporating a unique learning model.

Assumed Use Case Examples

Construction Machinery Rental
Estimate the number of units and period from the construction start date and scale, and present quotations and reservations in advance. This makes it easier to connect to reservations and orders.

Construction Machinery Manufacturers
Propose models and delivery plans that match the intended use and scale at the initial stage of specification review, promoting agreement on adoption.

Temporary Material Leasing
Calculate the required quantity and usage period from the construction period and scale, and present a package quote for delivery and collection. Streamline the process from quotation confirmation to ordering.

Construction Material Manufacturers
Organize the necessary materials and estimated quantities from the intended use and total floor area, and submit samples, specifications, and estimated quotes at the design stage. This leads to orders based on the specifications.

Housing Equipment Manufacturers
Create proposals for the number of units and model sets based on the number of houses and intended use, leading to bulk orders such as the standard adoption of the same series for all houses.

Future Prospects for UPWARD AI Scan

The construction information listed in construction plan notices is important information for sales activities obtained on-site. By accurately accumulating this data without burdening the field, the efficiency of field sales will increase dramatically. In the future, we plan to expand support to various information formats that exist in the field, such as automobile inspection certificates (vehicle inspection certificates), handwritten questionnaires, and application forms, to further expand the automation of information collection and accumulation.
