Business alliance with ADIM and CC Innovation

◆Background of business alliance

Manufacturing industries across Japan, especially small and medium-sized manufacturing companies rooted in local communities, are facing serious labor shortages and challenges in passing on skills. Many of them feel the need for DX on the frontline, but are often told that they "do not know where to start" or that they "cannot master the system.

Adim has responded to these voices through "GROW Process Management on kintone," a semi-customized business improvement system that utilizes kintone, and has supported DX that can be used onsite.

By partnering with CC Innovation, which has strength in community-based support, we are confident that we will be able to build a system that is close to even more manufacturing sites and spread DX that is grounded in the local community throughout Japan.

◆Outline of Business Alliance

This alliance is based on Adim's DX solution for the manufacturing industry, "GROW Process Management on kintone," and leverages CC Innovation and Hokkoku Financial Holdings' network of regional financial institutions and management know-how to realize community-based business reforms and build a support system to solve the on-site issues of the manufacturing industry. The project aims to build a support system to solve problems in the manufacturing industry.

Starting with the Hokuriku region, we aim to improve the productivity and profitability of local manufacturers by promoting DX, and to revitalize the local economy as a whole.

Furthermore, under the slogan, "Let's build a factory that can make more money with the resources it already has, and optimize the entire factory. Under the slogan of "Let's create more profitable, globally optimized factories with the resources we have now," we will challenge business reforms utilizing kintone at workplaces throughout Japan and evolve Japan's manufacturing industry into a brighter, more vibrant, and up-to-date Made in Japan.
