Hashimoto Corporation's Remarkable Achievement at the No-Code Japan Awards 2024

On July 17, 2024, Hashimoto Corporation was proud to receive the Special Award at the 3rd No-Code Japan Awards, organized by the No-Code Promotion Association (NCPA). This accolade recognizes companies and projects that have demonstrated remarkable results through the use of no-code development methodologies in their digital transformation (DX) efforts.

The Journey of Transformation

Despite having relied on their core system for over 50 years, Hashimoto Corporation faced the challenge of transitioning from outdated legacy systems, including mainframe computers, to a more efficient digital process. The aim was not only to refresh their operations but to do so while maintaining their strong corporate culture and engaging partners in the DX journey. The focus was on optimizing system maintenance and operational costs through innovative solutions.

Implementation of New Core System

The project to refresh their core system began in 2021, where Hashimoto Corporation aimed to retain essential elements of the old system's design while innovating the fundamental infrastructure. Key strategies included:

• - Retaining Old Design Elements: While moving forward technically, the company preserved the familiar interface for users.
• - Separation of UI and Business Logic: By decoupling these components, they ensured greater flexibility in development.
• - No-Code Batch Processes: They developed 1,500 no-code programs covering 650 functions that facilitated automation without needing extensive coding knowledge.
• - Paperless Operations: Transitioning to a paperless environment by digitalizing output forms significantly reduced physical paperwork, enhancing efficiency.

After three and a half years of dedicated development, the new no-code core system is set to be operational by August 2024.

Notable Results and Future Plans

The implementation of the new system has led to impressive results:

• - Maintenance Costs Reduction: A remarkable 56% decrease in system upkeep costs.
• - Faster Response Times: Inquiry response times improved by 70%.
• - Enhanced Processing Speed: EDI processing times showed a drastic reduction of 95%.

This award exemplifies the collaborative efforts of Hashimoto Corporation and its partner system development companies in promoting DX effectively. Moving forward, Hashimoto Corporation aims to share its no-code development expertise with other companies, assisting them in their DX initiatives.
