With app-based services becoming more common

[ishanijerin1]

Recently, business improvements using apps are being made in various fields. Today, I would like to introduce business support apps, which come in a variety of forms, from improving internal operations to providing new services.



1. Replacement of existing operations

Until now, documents have been viewed on botim database paper or a desktop PC. By making them portable via an app, information can be easily accessed.





this month, Joyo Bank announced that it has developed a dedicated app that can be used on tablet devices for sales of investment trusts and other assets held in custody. This will allow bank staff to check customers' asset status and past sales history from the bank's internal network, and is expected to improve sales capabilities. This is the first case of a bank using a dedicated app for employees for sales, so future developments will be interesting to watch.


It is likely that in the future, other industries will also begin to adopt new approaches that allow employees to access existing paper manuals and ledgers via apps.



2. New services using apps

In addition to digitizing existing business processes, there are also cases where the app is offered as a new service that takes advantage of its unique features.




Snapsheet, an app that helps drivers deal with accidents, raises $20 million

Snapsheet

Snapsheet provides a service that helps auto insurance companies process insurance claims quickly. This allows insurance companies to process paperwork without having to send an inspector when an accident occurs. In addition to processing on the app, it also provides cloud-based photo sharing and machine learning-based customer support, which allows insurance companies to speed up claims payments to customers and the return of repaired vehicles.


Snapsheet is a service for the automobile insurance sector, but it is expected to be applied to other areas of insurance in the future.
