Support for transitioning from Excel and Access with low-code solutions.
WithGrow / Support for DX in Manufacturing Industry
Transforming 'Excel tasks that only the person in charge can handle' into a form that allows the field to operate independently.
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. If you're unsure where to start, please feel free to consult with us.

basic information
【Provided Content】We will support the replacement of on-site Excel and Access operations with low-code solutions (such as Power Platform and kintone) and assist in internalization. - Current Situation Diagnosis: Inventory of target operations and identification of operations with significant replacement effects. - Requirement Organization: Screen and data design in line with on-site operations. - Prototyping to Production: Build small with low-code and improve while using it. - Establishment and Internalization: Create a state where on-site members can maintain and modify independently, along with study sessions. 【Structure】A team of external professional personnel for DX support and consultants will be involved. No on-site presence; primarily remote. You can choose the level of involvement you need, from spot consultations to monthly support. 【Target】On-site operations such as production management, quality, purchasing, and equipment maintenance. We also support the "on-site data preparation" phase before the introduction of core systems.
Price information
The cost will vary depending on the level of support and involvement, so we will provide a customized estimate (negotiable). First, we will offer a proposal after discussing the relevant tasks and the necessary level of involvement during a free consultation. Please feel free to contact us.
Delivery Time
※After consultation, it usually takes about 1 to 2 weeks to select professional personnel suitable for the target business. Since we start with small prototypes, the lead time until commencement is relatively short.
Applications/Examples of results
In a situation like this, you can utilize it to reorganize "on-site operations that have become personalized without notice," such as Excel ledgers that only the person in charge understands, management files that can't keep up with updates, and duplicate entries that vary by department. As an example, a mid-sized manufacturer had been managing budget versus actual performance using Excel for many years, relying on the person in charge for aggregation and updates. By systematizing this budget management with Power Platform, we unified the process from input to aggregation. We transformed it into a system where data is collected automatically and supported the team until they could independently modify the screens, thereby eliminating the burden of manual aggregation and personalization.
