"RPA" refers to software robots that record operations on a computer and perform tasks on behalf of humans. From this page, you can download materials summarizing details of cases related to RPA implementation, such as "reducing working hours through the automation of receiving order data and inputting it into the sales management system" and "reducing work time through the automation of creating estimates." 【Three Case Studies】 ■ Order processing for horticultural soil and fertilizer manufacturing and sales ■ Billing operations for petroleum product distribution business ■ Order processing for a glass building materials manufacturer ＼ For detailed case information, please check by downloading the catalog ／

We offer a limited-time special support service called "Free RPA Implementation Consultation," utilizing the knowledge we have cultivated so far. Meetings will be held not only with sales representatives but also with engineers, who will help select the tasks for free automation. Based on the detailed information provided, our engineers will begin developing a dedicated robot for your company. After delivering and setting up the completed robot, a 60-day free trial will commence. Additionally, to ensure you make the most of the 60 days, we can provide support such as internal briefings, demonstrations, and cost-effectiveness calculations alongside robot operation. 【Process until Implementation】 1. Meeting (Hearing) 2. Free Robot Implementation Period (60 days) 3. Implementation Decision *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study on the implementation of RPA for "automating the process of creating estimates to reduce work time." The background for the implementation was the need to create estimates based on order information (estimate requests) from various client companies, which involved searching for internal part numbers (manufacturer part numbers) and confirming selling prices before submitting the estimates to the client companies. After the implementation, the RPA robot began to check the product names from the saved order information, cross-reference them with the internal part number ledger, and search for the relevant products. 【Case Overview】 ■ Background - Due to different expressions of product names at each client company, it took a long time to find the relevant products from the internal part number ledger. ■ Effect - Reduction in work time due to the automation of estimate creation → Savings of 3,600 hours/year in labor costs (3 hours/estimate × 100 estimates/month × 12 months) *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of RPA implementation at our company, which involved "automating the reception of order data and input into the sales management system to reduce working hours." As for the background of the implementation, in patrol refueling, the quantity is confirmed based on the actual refueling performed on-site, so daily, refueling drivers send refueling slips to the office via fax. After implementation, we automated the computer operations that clerks were performing by transferring the refueling information of customers eligible for invoice creation from the patrol refueling list to the invoice statement using RPA robots. 【Case Overview】 ■ Background - Daily input of information from refueling slips sent by drivers into the patrol refueling list (Excel) at the office. ■ Effect - Reduction of working hours due to automation of invoice creation → Savings of 3,000 hours/year in labor costs (0.5 hours/customer × 500 customers × 12 months) *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of RPA implementation for "automating the reception of order data and input into the sales management system, resulting in reduced working hours." The background for the implementation was the need to receive order data from our customer (a home center) every morning at 6 AM. After the implementation, the computer operations previously performed by clerks, such as receiving emails confirming the completion of order data creation from customers, were automated using RPA robots. 【Case Overview】 ■ Background - To smoothly proceed with shipping preparations, it is necessary to immediately input the contents of the order data into the sales management system. ■ Effect - Reduction of working hours due to the elimination of early morning shifts → 720 hours/year in labor cost savings (3 hours/day × 20 days × 12 months) *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
