Nikkai Engineering Adopts HotProfile for Enhanced Sales Efficiency
Nikkai Engineering Co., Ltd., part of the Nihon Seiryu Group, recently made waves in the engineering sector by implementing Hammock's innovative sales support tool, HotProfile. This strategic move aims to modernize their sales operations, streamlining the management and utilization of client information across the organization.

The company operates in various sectors, including maintenance products for roads and bridges, disaster prevention equipment in ports and rivers, and urban landscape structures such as pedestrian decks. Their commitment to lightweight and corrosion-resistant aluminum technology positions them as a leading player in domestic urban development and public infrastructure projects.
