Are the on-site operations that have been managed with spreadsheet software and simple databases turning into issues such as "only the person in charge can handle it," "it can't be handed over," and "duplicate entries aren't decreasing"? WithGrow is a service from CAC identity, Inc. that supports digital transformation (DX) in the manufacturing industry. Instead of immediately implementing a large core system, we first replace on-site Excel and Access operations with low-code tools, improve them while using them, and ultimately guide the site to a state where they can fix things themselves (in-house development). A team of external professionals and consultants can participate, with a focus on remote work and involvement only for the necessary duration.
