■Appearing at the "Nikkei Business Daily Forum" held in Tokyo on September 2 (Monday) and in Osaka on September 11 (Wednesday)

Our President and CEO, Yoichi Kaneki, will be speaking at this forum, which will be held in Tokyo and Osaka.
While inside sales are becoming more digitalized, field sales (door-to-door sales) organization, standardization, digitalization, and technological advancement are not progressing as much. It can be said that non-reproducible, person-dependent sales activities still continue. UPWARD provides a field sales activity management service that seamlessly integrates CRM and location information, visualizing various customer information and customer visit activities on a map in real-time, and allowing field staff to easily record activities on-site using location information and voice. We will introduce specific examples of how to dramatically improve the productivity of field sales and transform the way field sales and managers work.
