Company (Company President: Kimio Asano, Headquarters: Toshima-ku, Tokyo, hereinafter referred to as "Jointex Company"), we are offering a sales SFA service (Mobile Perfect® SP), a smartphone and smart tablet compatible service that is free of initial cost and available for as little as 100 yen per month. (hereinafter referred to as this service) has been introduced.

This has made it possible to quantitatively and in real time understand the actions of approximately 130 sales representatives at Jointex Company, which mainly deals with stationery and office supplies. In the future, Jointex Company plans to use the collected sales behavior data to visualize human resources, manage their behavior to utilize them efficiently, and plan strategies to systematically strengthen sales capabilities.

Background of introduction

Jointex Company sells over 300,000 items including stationery, office equipment, office furniture, OA/PC supplies, home appliances, daily necessities, beverages, and food through stationery stores nationwide. In addition to our extensive product lineup, we are also strengthening our unique services that help solve problems faced by client companies and government offices and improve office productivity. In fiscal 2011, we achieved record sales and operating income. On the other hand, as the number of stationery stores and educational materials stores with which we do business continued to decrease due to the domestic economic downturn, we needed to further expand our business. Therefore, instead of relying on the skills of each salesperson or adopting a sales style that is biased toward behavioral patterns, the organization should adopt a system that improves the productivity of salespeople and strategically strengthens sales capabilities. was an urgent need. However, while considering the use of CRM (Customer Relationship Management) and SFA (Sales Force Automation), the cost and burden of implementation is high, and furthermore, it is difficult to use many functions. Its introduction has been postponed since then.

SBT proposed this service as a solution to the problems faced by Jointex Company. As a result, the following points were highly evaluated and the project was selected.

• There is no initial cost and the cost is as low as 100 yen per person per month. Because its functions are focused on sales reporting, there is no need to purchase hardware or spend time installing the system, and it can be used without worrying about operational management.
• Report templates are prepared in advance for use on smartphones and smart tablets. Since input items can be customized, sales representatives can start using the service immediately.
• Collaborates with scheduling services on the cloud. Since there is no need to enter the name and time of the destination each time, the load on sales staff is reduced, and on the management side, quantitative information can be compiled in real time.
