■ Message from The Tottori Bank, Ltd. (User)
We have received the following comment from Mr. Tozaki (*) of the Tottori Bank, Sales Management Department
regarding this system linkage.
In 2017, Tottori Bank started using POWER EGG to improve communication between the headquarters and branch
offices, and make approval and settlement application work flow paperless.
However, there was no linkage with the customer management systems that are used constantly by salespeople. Peopleat sales offices were dissatisfied and asking for improvements because of the need for separate entries of tables forplans and schedules for visiting customers and other problems.
SMART BankNeo makes it easy to synchronize customer visit plan tables and POWER EGG schedules and link thecustomer database and POWER EGG Web database.
Linkage of SMART BankNeo and POWER EGG is expected to make sales activities more efficient and greatly improvethe utilization of information acquired during sales activities.
*Departments and titles of individuals are as of March 31, 2023.
JAST will continue to incorporate customer feedback in its product development programs in order to provide a broader
range of services for making various tasks more efficient and enabling customers to use new working styles.
