Introduction
Suzuyo Shinwart Co., Ltd., under the leadership of President Yasuyuki Tokuda, has announced the integration of the cloud service "Asarepo" for alcohol checks and body temperature monitoring at Kato Seisakusho, a company renowned for manufacturing construction and industrial machinery, led by President Kimiyasu Kato. The integration aims to improve driving safety management and alleviate administrative burdens, particularly in light of recent regulatory changes.
Background of Asarepo Implementation
When the mandatory alcohol check was enforced, Kato Seisakusho relied on mobile alcohol breath analyzers coupled with paper records or manual entries on Word or Excel for data management. This traditional method posed challenges in real-time monitoring of employee compliance, and the consolidation of data required significant time and resources. Additionally, the need to adhere to evolving laws necessitated the search for a service that could streamline operations while ensuring compliance.
Reasons for Choosing Asarepo
In the selection process for a new service, Kato Seisakusho prioritized user-friendliness, cost-effectiveness, and the reduction of employee workload. Asarepo was chosen for several key reasons:
1. User-friendly interface.
2. Compatibility with e-Telema to enhance operational management.
3. Effective reduction of employees' administrative burden.
4. Excellent cost performance.
5. Centralized data management through a cloud platform.
6. Flexible pricing plans tailored to each driver.
The ability to integrate with e-Telema was especially valued, as it allowed for a more comprehensive approach to driving management beyond mere alcohol checks.
Benefits Post-Asarepo Implementation
Previously, alcohol check data was managed in various formats, leading to cumbersome processes of submitting and compiling information. With the introduction of Asarepo, real-time visibility into alcohol check statuses through a consolidated management screen has greatly simplified oversight. Additionally, the ability to perform data analysis through the management interface enables the company to leverage monthly statistics for ongoing improvement. The integration now allows for unified management of alcohol check data and travel logs, significantly reducing administrative workloads.
