Infomart's New Digitalization Promotion Center in Fukuoka

In a bid to enhance operational efficiency through digital means, Infomart Co., Ltd. has announced the opening of its new Digitalization Promotion Center located in Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture. This new office, which will officially begin operations on April 9, 2026, is set to play a pivotal role in the company's invoice reception and data processing service, known as "Data Processing Support." Infomart's commitment to a fully digital approach in business transactions is part of its broader vision of establishing a "DtoD (Data to Data)" environment where all forms of data transfer are seamless and devoid of manual intervention.

Background for the Establishment

As the push for digital transformation (DX) continues across industries, the need for digitizing all aspects of business operations, including invoicing processes, has become crucial. Many companies still juggle between paper and PDF formats, leading to ongoing challenges such as the necessity for in-person receipt of documents, scanning, and manual data entry into accounting software. These outdated methods place a heavy burden on accounting professionals.

Infomart has championed the concept of creating direct digital connections between companies, enabling them to handle all transactional paperwork digitally — completely eliminating the manual aspects. This revolutionary model not only serves to maximize operational efficiency but also facilitates a smoother transition during the period of coexisting with analog data. The newly established center is strategically positioned to be the gateway for fully digital transitions, automating the receiving and categorizing of invoices with a combination of AI technology and human oversight to ensure accuracy.

The Value of Complete Digitalization in Corporate Transactions (DtoD)

The concept of "DtoD" promoted by Infomart marks a significant shift towards a fully digital transaction landscape, extending from invoicing to contracts. Unlike the outdated method of simply scanning paper documents or emailing PDFs, DtoD represents a true advancement in digital transaction processes. By maintaining data in its original digital form, the need for complicated data entry and transcription errors is eradicated, resulting in substantially lower information storage costs. With over 28 years of experience in leading the digital transformation of inter-company transactions, Infomart is poised to elevate productivity beyond mere operational efficiency.

This transformative initiative allows businesses to channel their efforts towards competitive differentiation strategies that require concentrated focus, such as enhancing customer service. Through the promotion of DtoD, Infomart aims to enrich the lives of individuals working within these companies and contribute to the nationwide push for digital transformation and the creation of new value.
