Catallaxy Launches Tera-sys for JR Kyushu's Procurement Transformation

In a significant move towards digital transformation in procurement, Catallaxy, based in Tokyo, has officially rolled out Tera-sys, an innovative system designed to optimize JR Kyushu’s supply chain operations. The launch of Tera-sys marks a pivotal step in simplifying and streamlining the often convoluted procurement processes at JR Kyushu, which previously relied heavily on multiple systems and a plethora of paper-based documentation.

The traditional model of procurement at JR Kyushu involved numerous operational touchpoints, including request for quotes, order placement, and delivery confirmation, leading to increased workload for employees and complicated information management. This outdated approach necessitated a modern solution, prompting the development of Tera-sys, a cloud-based platform that enables centralized management of the procurement process, from initial quotations to delivery and acceptance.

Enhancing Visibility and Efficiency

One of the standout features of Tera-sys is its ability to provide real-time oversight of procurement activities. Users can visualize the entire procurement status via a user-friendly dashboard, which displays key metrics such as quote requests, approvals, and orders all in one place. This ensures that procurement teams can easily track the progress of their tasks, leading to accelerated lead times and improved overall efficiency.

Another significant benefit of Tera-sys is the automation of workflows through electronic approval processes, simplifying decision-making at every stage of procurement. This not only enhances speed but minimizes errors and procedural inconsistencies.

Furthermore, being built on a flexible cloud infrastructure means that the system is accessible from any browser, allowing team members to work remotely or on the go without compromising functionality. This level of accessibility is crucial for facilitating communication and collaboration between departments and associated companies within the JR Kyushu Group.

Data-Driven Insights

Beyond just tracking operational metrics, Tera-sys also offers robust data analysis capabilities. The system aggregates historical procurement data, enabling users to analyze trends in expenditure and operational performance. By leveraging this data, JR Kyushu is better positioned to make informed financial decisions and refine their procurement strategies effectively.

The Path to Implementation

The genesis of the Tera-sys project stemmed from collaborations initiated by Catallaxy’s digital transformation partner, FFG Industries. As discussions unfolded regarding improvement opportunities within JR Kyushu’s procurement domain, Catallaxy was introduced and worked closely with JR Kyushu’s team to understand their challenges. The swift development of a prototype within a week kickstarted the project, leading to iterative discussions that shaped the final rollout of Tera-sys.

Catallaxy managed all aspects of the project, from requirement gathering and system design to development and deployment. The team utilized rapid application development methodologies, incorporating generative AI to ensure that the final output met the real-world needs of users efficiently and promptly.

Leadership Insights

Yuuichi Oishi, the CEO of Catallaxy, expressed his perspective on the significance of Tera-sys, stating, "Tera-sys is not just a procurement system; it represents the beginning of a digital-first approach for JR Kyushu's supply chain. We prioritize delivering products that are used in the field and fundamentally change the way business is conducted. Our commitment to addressing challenges in the railway, manufacturing, and infrastructure sectors remains strong."

The introduction of Tera-sys has been positively highlighted in the Traffic Newspaper (November 6, 2025), spotlighting the urgent need for digitalized solutions in procurement processes today.
