Major Update to the Construction Matching Service 'Suke-Dachi' to Address Industry Labor Shortages

Significant Update to Suke-Dachi

Suke-Dachi, operated by Suke-Dachi Inc., is a major player in Japan’s construction talent matching sector, boasting over 220,000 registered businesses. In response to the ongoing labor shortages affecting the construction industry, Suke-Dachi has announced a major update to its app, aiming to create a more conducive environment for orderers and contractors seeking new opportunities.

Background of the Update

The construction sector has been grappling with chronic labor shortages, leading to lost opportunities when contractors and orderers are unable to connect promptly. To tackle this issue, Suke-Dachi is focused on maximizing and optimizing the operating rates across the industry. The company aims to foster a climate in which users with high engagement levels can easily connect through the platform. As part of this initiative, Suke-Dachi has revamped its display logic and lifted some limits on message sending for users on its free plan.

Main Changes in the Update

Revision of Display Logic

To enhance the visibility of contractors and orderers, Suke-Dachi has revised the display order within the app. This update considers not only job type and service area but also the historical performance of orderers, including engagement metrics from higher plan subscriptions. With these adjustments, orderers with demonstrated success and higher levels of engagement will find themselves more frequently approached by potential contractors.

Removal of Message Limits for Free Plan Users

Free plan users who act as contractors can now send unlimited messages to orderers. This change enables contractors to explore opportunities to connect with orderers without initial costs, thereby increasing their chances of finding appropriate projects.

Expected Outcomes

With these updates, contractors will be able to reach out to more orderers and increase their chances of finding suitable orders that meet their criteria. The removal of message limits in the free plan helps amplify the number of interactions, likely shortening the lead time from meeting to receiving orders. Concurrently, orderers will benefit from an increased influx of proposals from skilled professionals and companies, ensuring they connect efficiently with suitable contractors.

Future Commitments

Looking ahead, Suke-Dachi is committed to its mission: “Making construction sites attractive workplaces.” The company will consistently work to enhance the quality of matchmaking, while intensifying collaborations across services related to recruitment and training. These efforts aim to address various human resource challenges within the construction industry.
