UPWARD Inc. (Location: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Ryusuke Kaneki; hereinafter "UPWARD") has launched a "photo registration function" on its mobile application UPWARD AGENT for field workers.

About UPWARD AGENT "Photo Registration Function"

UPWARD AGENT is a mobile application for field workers that reduces the burden of inputting visit activity results into CRM through a function utilizing automatic detection of stay records (patented Note 1). The newly offered "photo registration function" allows fieldworkers to register photos taken with their smartphones into CRM in a single step, along with activity input.

Photographs are extremely effective as a means of gathering information because they can accurately and instantly record a great deal of information, and many field workers take photos of the places they visit. However, many of these photos are actually stored in the camera roll of the person in charge due to the time and effort required to transfer them to a PC, and this has been cited as a problem. In addition, UPWARD AGENT enables mobile users to register photos as part of the activity reporting process in a single step, and also solves the following issues when storing photos in CRM.
