Transforming Construction Management with PROCES.S ERP System: A Case Study

Streamlining Construction Management: PROCES.S ERP in Action

The construction industry often faces challenges due to fragmented data management. Such was the case for Shinwa Corporation, a dynamic player in the construction sector, known for its specialized work in MRI room shielding. In collaboration with Uchida Yoko IT Solutions (ITS), they embarked on a journey to integrate their financial, sales, and cost data through the deployment of the PROCES.S ERP system. This decision not only enhanced their operational efficiency but also fostered a culture of cost awareness among employees.

Understanding the Implementation of PROCES.S

Shinwa Corporation, headquartered in Ota City, Tokyo, operates in varied fields such as pipe construction, interior work, and X-ray shielding. Guided by the philosophy that “trust is not built overnight,” they have carved out a reputation for competence in healthcare facility construction throughout the Tokyo metropolitan area. However, as their business grew, so too did the complexity of their operations, leading to discrepancies between accounting software and Excel spreadsheets. These discrepancies brought into question the accuracy of their data—an issue that necessitated the search for a more unified system.

The choice to implement PROCES.S was significantly influenced by the existing experience of some employees with this specific ERP system, which is tailored for the construction industry and boasts robust support. This cloud-based solution offered an opportunity to centralize financial data and streamline operations.

Achieving Results with PROCES.S

The results following the implementation were nothing short of remarkable. Key benefits included:

- Reduction in Manual Work: The time spent on data entry saw a dramatic cut, halving the effort required. The manual generation of invoices and other administrative tasks was minimized, leading to increased efficiency across the board.
- Visibility and Awareness: One of the standout features was the enhanced visibility into operations. Employees at all levels became more attuned to overall business processes, fostering a mindset geared toward comprehensive business improvement.
- Cost Consciousness: With direct access to financial reports, employees developed a greater awareness of cost management, understanding their contributions to the overall financial health of the organization.

Future Prospects

Looking ahead, Shinwa Corporation envisions utilizing PROCES.S to create a clearer linkage between costs and sales. They aim to leverage this transparency to enhance their “work style reform” initiatives by providing individual teams within the construction department with insights into their revenue and profit contributions. Furthermore, they aspire to cultivate an environment where employees proactively seek improvements in their respective areas.
