Location Information SaaS Pioneer "UPWARD": http://upward.jp
In "Location Information 1.0" from the late 1990s to the early 2000s, when location information began to be commercialized, GPS was used for car navigation, and the digitization of maps began. The use of location information expanded to include store searches for restaurants, etc., and PCs were the primary devices used. In "Location Information 2.0" from around 2007 to 2013, SOLOMO (Social/Local/Mobile) flourished with the spread of smartphones, and services that linked social media and location information were successively created. In the current era of "Location Information 3.0," the market for services utilizing location information is rapidly expanding due to the improvement of sensor functions in smartphones and the accuracy of location measurement by quasi-zenith satellite systems. Services such as remote operation and indoor positioning, as well as services that analyze data accumulated in the cloud, have emerged.
Since its founding in 2002, UPWARD has been quick to focus on SaaS for location information, and has consistently worked on technological innovations in services that utilize location information. At this "SaaSway Conference," as a pioneer in "Field Sales SaaS Utilizing Location Information," we will introduce "Field Sales Automation," which makes field sales activities smarter by automating the activity management of field sales using technologies such as location information, CRM, AI (artificial intelligence), and Automation, thereby realizing sales improvement and 영업 강화.
