◎A service that uses automated quotation technology to connect custom-orderers with processing companies.

The manufacturing industry is Japan's key industry, boasting a gross domestic product of 180 trillion yen.
In fact, about 120 trillion yen of that is accounted for by the cost of parts procurement.
Despite this large percentage, there has been no major innovation in the procurement field for over 100 years.
In particular, parts procurement for the high-mix low-volume production industry, which accounts for about one-third of the total, has been facing various social issues on both the ordering and receiving sides, such as the time and effort required for ordering and quotation, procurement costs, and the high deficit ratio on the production side.

They believed that by solving these problems, manufacturers not only in Japan but also around the world would be able to focus on higher value-added work and maximize the potential of the manufacturing industry as a whole.
So, the company developed the world's first service that uses automated quotation technology to connect custom-orderers with processing companies.

【Job Description】 

【"Unleashing the potential of the manufacturing industry" through technology】
In the manufacturing industry, which is said to be worth 180 trillion yen in Japan, many manufacturers and their supply partners have been constrained by a variety of reasons, including being too busy with quotation and management tasks, lacking sales capabilities, and lacking information and networks, and are unable to fully utilize their original development and technological capabilities.

The company's mission is to unleash the potential of each company by resolving these constraints from various aspects.

In order to achieve this goal, we need to utilize technology mainly in areas that have not yet been digitized, so that all manufacturing companies, whether they are small town factories, large-scale manufacturers with a long history, or start-up companies just starting out, can utilize their strengths to shine and create a lot of new value. Why don't you use your technology to achieve such a future?

【"Unleashing the Potential of the Manufacturing Industry" through Engineering Management】
The company is already involved in a large number of manufacturing projects, and is developing technology while conducting numerous hypothesis tests for manufacturing projects. They believe that the degree to which they can accurately test hypotheses about issues in the manufacturing industry, and the degree to which they can solve these issues with technology, will lead to structural change in the manufacturing industry.

It's a challenge to see how much they can make engineering what it should be. They believe that they can change the world with software. The management of engineering is definitely one of the key success factors for the company's ability to truly achieve its mission: how the software, which is the company's main technology, is created by the team and how it is predicted, planned and executed.
