Gree Holdings Optimizes Contract Management with SmartDB

In an era where digital transformation is paramount, Gree Holdings has taken significant steps toward enhancing its operational efficiencies through the implementation of SmartDB, a cloud-based service by Dream Arts. This transition, which encompasses a multitude of contracts generated across the diverse interests of the Gree group—including gaming, metaverse, IP, DX, and investment ventures—marks a transformative step in their approach to managing contractual obligations.

The Need for Change

Previously, Gree Holdings faced several challenges in their contract management operations. The reliance on a patchwork of scratch-built and packaged systems led to operational inefficiencies, including:

• - Over-dependence on dedicated technical staff for maintenance and operation.
• - Data inconsistencies arising from fragmented systems across different business units.
• - Complication in approval workflows due to multiple systems, which hindered standardized procedures.

Realizing the growing complexities of their operations, Gree Holdings recognized the necessity to transition to a more cohesive solution that could both streamline and enhance their contract management processes.

Why SmartDB?

Gree Holdings chose to adopt SmartDB due to its robust no-code framework, which allows for high maintainability alongside responsiveness to business changes. The key reasons for this decision included:

• - High Scalability: The ability to develop and scale custom solutions without deep technical intervention.
• - Streamlined Workflows: The elimination of manual data entry and document attachment processes through flexible integrations with external systems, like Adobe Sign and Slack.
• - Unified Approval Processes: Recapturing the intricate approval routes that branch out to over 250 divisions into a single platform to simplify oversight and management.

Remarkable Outcomes

Since initiating their transition to SmartDB, Gree Holdings has reported profound improvements in their operations:

• - A remarkable 50% reduction in contract review times, streamlining approval processes for 3,700 contracts annually.
• - Enhanced collaboration across departments through better integration with tools like Adobe Sign and Slack, effectively reducing errors in attachments and administrative burdens.
• - A more efficient system preservation during organizational changes, thanks to the integrated solutions provided by SmartDB, thereby simplifying system maintenance tasks.

In the recent interview, key leaders from Gree's Information Systems Department—Yohei Inoue and Naomichi Akatsuka—detailed how the project has been pivotal in overcoming operational challenges. Inoue emphasized how the initiative has not only improved business efficiency but has also laid down a framework for future growth and agility.

Future Prospects

Looking ahead, Gree Holdings aims to further leverage SmartDB to continue enhancing their operational capabilities. The company firmly believes in the power of digital transformation, adopting a forward-thinking approach that aligns with their overarching goal of strengthening on-site capabilities and elevating corporate competitiveness.

This case study shines a light on the practical applications of digital tools in streamlining complex operational processes. With continuous advancements in technology and implementation of innovative solutions like SmartDB, Gree Holdings is poised for a future marked by efficiency and agility.
