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 on mobile app while on the go 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.
Improved efficiency of visit planning using the map function
The ability to visualize visit destinations on a map has increased the number of visits to neighboring offices using 10 to 15 minute gaps in time.
Real-time activity log enhance internal communication
Detailed reporting is now possible while memories are fresh, and the quality of activity log has improved. 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.
