Background to Service Development
Salespersons undertake various tasks in their business activities. For example, communicating on internal applications, etc. of business partners’ credit screening and invoices, and following up on delayed or non-payment. NP`s 2017 survey (※1) shows approximately 20 business days are annually spent on billing-related tasks with such costs difficult to track down, and highly stressful. To radically resolve the issue that salespersons spend much time on billing-related tasks rather than focusing on what they should do, NP has started offering “NP Kakebarai for Salesforce.” Salespersons can engage more with customers by delivering seamless operations from opportunity management, invoicing, to payment collection. NP will further collaborate with business partners such as DX solution providers, to keep supporting the challenges and growth of corporate entities.
