MonotaRO List of News Articles

An online event to consider the future of procurement and purchasing for all leaders responsible for corporate transformation. In light of the "2025 cliff" deadline and the spread of the COVID-19 virus, there has been a growing sense of urgency in DX initiatives. However, many companies are still exploring the path of procurement and purchasing DX. Among various company-wide business improvement measures, indirect material purchasing management is an area that can be immediately addressed and is likely to yield results. By introducing and embedding common management rules across the organization, the visibility of purchasing can be significantly enhanced, allowing for the establishment of data and systems necessary to advance procurement and purchasing DX. By collaborating across the entire organization and group, significant effects can be achieved in reducing business process costs, making it an important element to incorporate into cross-functional projects such as business efficiency, DX, work style reform, and cost improvement. This time, we will deliver a live talk from experts leading such procurement and purchasing projects at the forefront, aiming to create an opportunity for many participating companies, especially those that have not yet fully engaged in indirect material purchasing or are struggling with internal penetration, to address their challenges together. We hope you will join us!

Monotaro × Kaunet Co-hosted Seminar With the approaching deadline for the DX cliff in 2025 and the expansion of the COVID-19 virus, there is a growing sense of urgency in companies to actively engage in DX initiatives. However, many companies are still exploring the DX of procurement and purchasing. As a company-wide business improvement measure, managing indirect material procurement is an area that can be immediately addressed and is likely to yield results. By introducing and embedding common management rules across the organization, the visibility of purchasing can be significantly enhanced, allowing for the establishment of data and systems necessary to advance the DX of core operations. In this webinar, we will introduce easy-to-understand methods for advancing indirect material reform projects, incorporating specific case studies. We encourage companies that have not yet fully engaged in indirect material purchasing or are struggling with internal penetration to participate freely. <Recommended for> - Those in management planning, general affairs, purchasing, procurement, and factory management departments who are currently struggling with indirect material purchasing. - Those who are exploring reforms in indirect material purchasing and want to start centralized purchasing easily and without hassle. - Those who wish to digitize analog business processes and achieve operational efficiency.

I believe that the application of the "Overtime Work Limit Regulation" related to the Work Style Reform Act, along with the decrease in the working population and aging, as well as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, has accelerated the digital transformation (DX) in the construction industry in recent years. On the other hand, has the DX in the procurement and purchasing area progressed? "There are different suppliers and purchasing methods for each construction site, and it is not visible." "There is a significant amount of labor involved in the procurement, invoicing, and payment processing of goods." I think many people are facing such concerns. This time, we will welcome Nishimatsu Construction, which has achieved DX in the procurement and purchasing area to realize work style reform, and hold an online seminar in a panel discussion format to discuss the background of their introduction of Monotaro and what challenges have been resolved after the implementation. We invite those responsible for management planning, purchasing, procurement, accounting, general affairs, etc., in the construction industry who have the following thoughts (participants from other industries are also welcome): - Those who have many administrative tasks on-site and feel challenges regarding work styles. - Those who want to promote DX in the purchasing area but are unsure how to proceed. - Those interested in the problem-solving methods for indirect material purchasing used by other companies. - Those who want to start centralized purchasing of indirect materials easily and without hassle.
