Sales GO and Eight Team Collaboration

In a significant move for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), Sales GO Co., Ltd. has announced a partnership with Sansan, Inc. to integrate its domestic SFA product, SALES GO ISM, with the SME-oriented business card management service, Eight Team. This integration is set to revolutionize the management of customer information by eliminating the manual entry and updating processes that have long hindered efficiency and accuracy in sales operations.

Enhancements Brought by the Collaboration

With the new integration, business card information shared through Eight Team can now be reflected in real-time within SALES GO ISM. By automating the synchronization of critical details such as company names, departments, contacts, email addresses, and phone numbers, businesses can expect a significant reduction in operational manual workloads. This streamlined process will not only enhance workplace productivity but also ensure that accurate customer information is readily available, allowing for quicker decision-making and improved business opportunities.

Eight Team has reportedly exceeded 5,000 contracts, primarily catering to SMEs that need to manage team-based operations efficiently. It supports shared management of business card information, which can lead to increased business opportunities and networking benefits.

On the other side, SALES GO ISM is designed with ease of use and affordability in mind, presenting an ideal solution for those seeking to consolidate their sales management tasks. Recognized for its intuitive interface that caters specifically to the Japanese market, it makes it easy for users to visualize their sales activities, effectively reducing reliance on individuals for business intelligence.

Bridging the Gap to Digital Transformation

Despite the emphasis on digital transformation (DX) driven by advances in technology like AI, many companies continue to rely on traditional methods such as paper records and spreadsheets for managing their sales processes. This is particularly true for SMEs that face resource and budget constraints, which can impede their ability to embrace DX fully.

The collaboration between the two services aims to equip SMEs with a straightforward, low-cost solution that enhances both business card and sales management. This comprehensive digitization pathway offers a practical entry point into the world of sales DX for companies eager to modernize their operations without overwhelming complexity or cost.

Features Enabled by API Integration

The API integration between Eight Team and SALES GO ISM allows for seamless syncing of business card data. This functionality means that whenever any updates occur within Eight Team—be it a new job title or a change in contact information—these changes will automatically translate to SALES GO ISM, ensuring that information stays current and relevant.

Thus, sales teams can quickly adapt to changes in personnel or roles that could influence sales strategies or client relationships. The reduction of manual data entry also minimizes the chances of human error, further contributing to efficiency in day-to-day operations.
