◎A service that uses automated quotation technology to connect custom-orderers with processing companies.

The manufacturing industry is Japan's key industry, boasting a gross domestic product of 180 trillion yen.
In fact, about 120 trillion yen of that is accounted for by the cost of parts procurement.
Despite this large percentage, there has been no major innovation in the procurement field for over 100 years.
In particular, parts procurement for the high-mix low-volume production industry, which accounts for about one-third of the total, has been facing various social issues on both the ordering and receiving sides, such as the time and effort required for ordering and quotation, procurement costs, and the high deficit ratio on the production side.

They believed that by solving these problems, manufacturers not only in Japan but also around the world would be able to focus on higher value-added work and maximize the potential of the manufacturing industry as a whole.
So, the company developed the world's first service that uses automated quotation technology to connect custom-orderers with processing companies.
