AI Maximizes Field Sales Performance

digital transformation, field sales representatives with demanding schedules often face challenges such as “post-visit data entry being put off” and “field data being fragmented, making it difficult to use for analysis or improvement.” As a prerequisite for advancing AI adoption, there is a need for a system that continuously accumulates detailed field data.

UPWARD automatically collects data behind the scenes of sales activities such as in-person visits and phone calls. It is an AI agent that visualizes the actual conditions on the ground—which were previously difficult for management to grasp—and supports sales improvements and performance growth by leveraging that data.
