In a significant move towards digitization and increased operational efficiency,
Mirairo, Inc., a company committed to transforming disabilities into value, has successfully integrated the
Upflow AI-powered deal support platform. This platform, developed by
Upflow, Inc. based in Shibuya, Tokyo, is designed to streamline business negotiations through advanced artificial intelligence technology.
Background of Mirairo
Mirairo, founded with the guiding principle of "Barrier Value" (transforming disabilities into opportunities), specializes in universal design consulting, training, and digital solutions, such as the
Mirairo ID digital disability certification app. Their clientele is primarily large corporations and government bodies, reflecting the organization's commitment to providing multiple solutions, from training and certification programs to consulting and support for hiring individuals with disabilities.
Initial Challenges
Before implementing Upflow, Mirairo's sales management faced several significant challenges:
1.
Time-Consuming Deal Checks: The executive in charge of sales spent 1 to 2 hours daily reviewing deals involving team members, which was not sustainable with the growing number of negotiations.
2.
Inefficient Existing Tools: The previously utilized AI meeting minutes tool often struggled with speaker recognition, forcing the team to replay recordings to retrieve necessary information.
3.
Prioritization Issues: Although deals had different levels of importance, the quality of available information restricted the team from effectively prioritizing tasks, leading to an equal amount of time being spent on each negotiation check.
4.
Support for Less Experienced Members: Newer team members often required assistance with reproducing scripts, identifying customer needs, and proposing multiple solutions — a process that could not be sufficiently checked or supported with the existing resources.
The Decision to Implement Upflow
Mirairo opted to implement
Upflow primarily due to its impressive features:
- - High-Accuracy Recognition: The platform offers high-level speaker recognition, facilitating the quick understanding of deal statuses simply by reviewing the meeting minutes and organized data.
- - Alignment with Strategic Goals: The automated reports generated by Upflow were closely aligned with the judgments made by top executives, thus providing relevant insights for decision-making.
Results After Implementation
Since integrating Upflow, Mirairo has reported notable outcomes, including:
- - A reduction of approximately 50% in the time spent checking deals, freeing up time for more critical tasks.
- - A decrease in missed follow-up actions, as team members were better able to keep track of their next steps after meetings.
Detailed Insights on Upflow
The Upflow platform records and analyzes deals using AI, enabling organizations to convert what was previously confined to individual recollections into valuable data. It automatically transcribes negotiations and structures the information gathered, helping to identify hidden risks that were not visible through CRM entries alone. During meetings, features like real-time conversation organization, support based on playbooks, and instant knowledge display significantly enhance the quality of discussions.
Key Features Include:
- - Live Assistance during negotiations for providing immediate response suggestions.
- - Context Structuring of deals, including summaries, decisions made, and actionable follow-ups.
- - An adaptive playbook offering actionable strategies at each negotiation phase, checked by AI.
- - Voice of the Customer (VoC) functionality for automated accumulation and tagging of customer feedback.
- - Tailored support functions for sales representatives, managers, and executives alike.
