We spoke with the Crisis Management and Disaster Prevention Division of Saga City about the background and effects of the introduction of "KG ZAICO." To accommodate residents in evacuation shelters for an extended period, disaster supplies such as food and water are necessary. It was essential for the staff of the Crisis Management and Disaster Prevention Division, responsible for managing the entire city, to establish a system that allows them to check information about all evacuation shelters in real-time and issue prompt instructions based on the situation at each shelter. After the introduction, we were able to significantly reduce the time required for changing the allocation of supplies. Additionally, we achieved cost savings and a reduction in inventory counting time.

We would like to introduce a case study of the inventory management service 'KG ZAICO' implemented at Sumitomo Metal Mining Co., Ltd. aimed at preventing excess inventory and reducing costs. Previously, inventory management for heavy machinery parts was conducted using Excel, and the number of part types had increased by about 20% compared to five years ago, with the inventory value rising by approximately 50%. After implementation, inventory processing was carried out upon delivery of ordered parts, and inventory was processed when parts were used for maintenance, allowing real-time confirmation of current inventory levels. [Challenges] ■ It was not possible to accurately manage inventory fluctuations between stocktaking periods. ■ Inventory management had become reliant on specific operators, making it difficult for others to understand the status of parts inventory. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We spoke with Foods Eye Co., Ltd., which operates multiple meat specialty EC shops that have introduced "KG NEXT ENGINE." The store management system provided by the EC mall cannot process a large amount of shipping data collectively. Since tasks like creating picking lists and printing shipping labels need to be handled individually, an increase in the number of orders inevitably leads to more labor. By using Next Engine, it became possible to change the status of a large amount of shipping data in bulk and automate a series of processes, allowing a small team to handle a significant number of shipping operations. [Case Overview (Partial)] ■ Challenges - Unable to process a large amount of shipping data collectively - Increased number of orders leads to more labor *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

We spoke with Aisai Co., Ltd. about the usage status of "FewTap." In the midst of a labor shortage, there was a need to provide drive-thru orders and in-store orders with a small number of staff. Additionally, there was a challenge to regularly update the menu to prevent local customers from getting bored with it. After implementation, we significantly reduced the time spent on menu creation, allowing us to increase the time spent thinking about store operations. Since we can receive table orders and drive-thru orders through the system, we were able to run the store efficiently with a small team. [Case Summary (Partial)] ■Challenges - Store operations without excessive manpower - Reduction of time and effort involved in menu creation *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where Central Security Services Co., Ltd. implemented "KG ZAICO" with the aim of visualizing and optimizing their operations. For many years, the company recorded the entry and exit of equipment by hand in a paper management ledger. When conducting inventory checks, if the actual stock numbers did not match, they had to trace the records to identify the cause. After the implementation, the visibility of inventory counts at the locations increased the awareness of construction personnel regarding inventory management, reduced discrepancies in stock, and significantly alleviated the burden on the management department. 【Challenges (Partial)】 ■ For many years, the records of equipment entry and exit were handwritten in a paper management ledger. ■ When conducting inventory checks, if the actual stock numbers did not match, it was very inefficient to trace records in a paper ledger to identify the cause. ■ A considerable amount of time and effort was required for inventory management tasks, including aggregation work. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where the Kaga City General Affairs Department Crisis Management Division provided "KG ZAICO" free of charge for a certain period to accommodate those affected by the Noto Peninsula earthquake. In this municipality, when asked about the inventory status of disaster supplies, they were unable to respond immediately, which highlighted the need for a system that could be checked via smartphones and other devices. After implementation, the ability to check inventory information anywhere using a smartphone app and the ease of operation for anyone were highly evaluated. Additionally, the fact that there were multiple successful cases of municipalities implementing it for disaster supply management provided reassurance. [Case Overview (Partial)] ■ Issues - Although the inventory status of disaster supplies was managed using Excel, it was dependent on individuals and lacked accuracy. - Disaster supplies were being dispatched based on on-site judgment, so information was not being shared in real-time. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of 'KG ZAICO' that our company handles to Tohoku Broiler Chicken Processing and Sales Co., Ltd. Previously, inventory information was counted on-site and recorded on paper, which was then input into the system, resulting in a paper-based workflow. This led to frequent issues such as input omissions, order and delivery mistakes, and receiving errors. After the introduction of this product, input errors have decreased, and in the event of an input mistake, it has become possible to quickly identify the error location. Tasks that previously took about an hour can now be completed in 5 to 10 minutes. [Case Overview (Partial)] ■ Challenges - Inventory information was managed on a paper basis, leading to frequent input omissions, order and delivery mistakes, and receiving errors. - Employee transfers sometimes resulted in discrepancies in inventory counts. - There was uncertainty about which numbers were correct. - Inventory information and order information were managed separately. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of the inventory management system 'KG ZAICO' implemented at the Komaki City Fire Department. At our department, to keep track of the inventory of emergency equipment, staff conducted inventory checks twice a month, counting each item and recording the numbers on paper forms, which was very time-consuming. After the implementation, we were able to check the inventory quantities in the storage room anytime and anywhere using this system, allowing us to reduce the inventory checks from twice a month to once. 【Challenges】 - For the inventory of emergency equipment, staff conducted inventory checks twice a month to monitor increases and decreases, and after confirmation, placed orders to prevent stockouts. - There are about 100 types of emergency equipment, half of which require expiration date management, and rules were established to manage high-risk equipment, such as notifying alerts three months in advance. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of the inventory management system 'KG ZAICO' implemented at the Niwa Wide Area Administrative Union Fire Department. In recent years, our department has seen an increase in the types of emergency equipment used due to the advancement and diversification of emergency procedures by paramedics. As a result, we now manage approximately 100 different types of inventory, totaling several thousand items, which has complicated our management processes. After the implementation, the overall time spent on inventory management tasks has been significantly reduced, allowing us to increase training time and focus on our core duties. [Challenges] - When using Excel, there were frequent input errors, and during monthly inventory checks, discrepancies between actual stock and Excel quantities often occurred. - It was sometimes difficult to identify whether an item was emergency equipment. - We were operating under a system where we regularly checked inventory levels and placed orders when we anticipated shortages. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where the 'KG ZAICO' inventory management system was implemented at the Kasugai Wide Area Administrative Union Fire Headquarters, covering three locations: the Fire Headquarters, Higashi Fire Station, and Nishi Fire Station. At our headquarters, there had been an inefficient situation where staff had to check the inventory of emergency equipment on-site and then return to the office to register the information in the system. After the implementation, all staff began using shared tablets with the product installed, allowing them to register data at the moment they noticed it. [Challenges] - The names and quantities of emergency equipment used at the emergency site were recorded in a warehouse ledger, and the same information was registered in the system after returning to the desk. - A physical inventory check was conducted once a month, and the information was then registered in the system, taking a full day when including dispatch times. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where Yamazaki Baking Co., Ltd. implemented "KG TruckCALL," provided by Kanematsu, at their Anjo factory, which operates under a unique business model that integrates production, logistics, and sales. At this factory, approximately 50 trucks deliver raw materials for bread daily, totaling about 1,500 trucks per month. The goal was to move away from analog management of delivery vehicles and waiting/loading operations. After the implementation, drivers register their arrival at the factory using a reception terminal set up at the security office. A business terminal has been installed in the materials department, allowing real-time confirmation of truck registration status and enabling calls to the loading bays. [Background of Implementation] - Desire to move away from analog management of delivery vehicles and waiting/loading operations. - Due to the 2024 issue, it is anticipated that the materials department will take over the unloading operations previously handled by truck drivers, leading to an expected increase in workload. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.*

We would like to introduce a case study on the cloud inventory management software "KG ZAICO" implemented by KANEMATSU SPECIAL STEEL SERVICE CO., LTD., a local subsidiary in Thailand that operates a warehouse for storing steel products used in automobiles and machinery. In Thailand, Kanematsu has been managing inventory using the core system "FESTA," which is utilized company-wide by the Kanematsu Group. However, since FESTA is specialized for accounting tasks, it was not user-friendly for inventory management, and daily inventory management was handled using Excel. Due to the high smartphone penetration rate and interest in IT in Thailand, a trial use was conducted, and it was decided to implement the software because all staff were able to master it in a short period. The ability to utilize smartphones on-site to check and update inventory information in real-time was also appealing. [Challenges] - Excel files were created for each customer, leading to a management system that was dependent on individual staff members. - During sales activities, when customers inquired about the stock quantity of parts, it was inefficient to confirm via phone. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.*

We spoke with the General Manager of the Human Resources and General Affairs Department and the Deputy General Manager of the Store Development Department at Antworks Co., Ltd., which operates four dining brands nationwide, centered around "Legendary Sukiya." Previously, the company used an external call center for repair requests, but there were many cases where the call center could not make a judgment based on inquiries from the field, leading to a situation where the Store Development Department had to step in to handle them. After the introduction of the "KG Q Navi," all responses are now completed within the app, resulting in zero phone calls from stores. Approvals for estimates can also be handled while on the move, reducing the time spent on repair responses by approximately 85%.
