Reduce the burden on sales representatives when reporting activities and further improve usability
Softbrain Inc. (Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Hirofumi Toyoda; hereinafter "Softbrain"), a company that provides sales problem-solving services, has announced that it has partnered with Advanced Media Inc. (Toshima-ku, Tokyo; Chairman and CEO: Kiyoyuki Suzuki; hereinafter "Advanced Media"), a company with excellent know-how in voice recognition technology, to develop a voice recognition system that can recognize voice messages. AmiVoice ® We are pleased to announce that by utilizing this technology, voice input and voice operation functions will be implemented as standard in "e-Sales Manager Remix Cloud," a sales force automation (SFA) system provided by Softbrain, and will be available from February 2013, 2.
Currently, many smartphones are capable of voice operation, and their use in various situations such as search and translation is becoming more widespread. Attention is being focused on technology that reduces the operational burden and makes full use of devices. Since its launch, e-Sales Manager Remix Cloud has focused on use on mobile devices. Now, by equipping the device with voice input and voice operation functions as standard, sales representatives can easily perform reporting tasks and view information with one hand while on the move, further improving usability.
The most important point in utilizing a sales support system is ease of use in the sales field. By ensuring that sales representatives report their activities, data that can be used for management can be accumulated. However, many companies face a major challenge in establishing the use of such systems in the sales field. This is where Advanced Media's voice recognition technology AmiVoice ® We decided to develop this in order to reduce the workload of our sales representatives as much as possible and promote the use of e-Sales Manager Remix Cloud.
The features of Advanced Media's voice recognition technology are that it can provide high-speed and high-precision voice recognition, that it can use dedicated dictionaries for a wide range of application fields such as pharmaceutical manufacturers and financial institutions, and that it can register dictionaries that can be customized for each company. By finely setting company-specific words and phrases, it enables accurate voice recognition. Its flexibility to be compatible with any business type or industry matches well with "e-Sales Manager Remix Cloud" to create a synergistic effect.
■ Features of the voice recognition function of "eSales Manager Remix Cloud"
- Voice control allows you to quickly and easily move to the desired screen anytime, anywhere.
・You can search for the information you are looking for using only your voice.
・You can input text such as sales reports and daily reports by voice.
- By registering the voice dictionary, words can be recognized regardless of business type or industry.
For example, if you were to touch-type the 53 characters "We provided a quote today. According to the customer's information, our quote is higher than that of other companies, so we received a request for a discount," it would take about 120 seconds to do so on a smartphone, but voice input can complete the task in about 15 seconds.
