Kanematsu's KG ZAICO: Transforming Inventory Management in Elderly Care
In an era where technology drives efficiency, Kanematsu Corporation introduces a groundbreaking solution tailored for the management of inventory in various sectors. The cloud-based inventory management application, KG ZAICO, aims to assist organizations in digitizing their inventory operations. A recent case study highlights its success in a senior housing facility, Clarch Familia Nishi-Shinjuku, managed by Clarch Co., Ltd.
The Challenges Faced
Before the implementation of KG ZAICO, Clarch Familia Nishi-Shinjuku faced substantial operational hurdles. Medical consumables, everyday goods, and office supplies—approximately 100 different items—were meticulously tracked using paper ledgers. This traditional method was fraught with challenges such as missing entries and transcription errors, resulting in discrepancies in inventory levels and making aggregate reporting excessively cumbersome.
Recognizing the pressing need for an updated inventory management strategy, Clarch embraced KG ZAICO, embarking on a journey towards enhanced efficiency.
The Impact of KG ZAICO
Following the launch of KG ZAICO, the results were nothing short of transformative. The labor-intensive process of sales aggregation was reduced to almost zero, and the facility successfully transitioned to a paperless management system. Not only did this shift lead to significant improvements in work efficiency, but it also resulted in substantial cost savings.
Moreover, the time that was once dedicated to administrative tasks was redirected towards enhancing resident services, which subsequently contributed to elevating the overall quality of care provided. The reduction in staff workload fostered greater motivation among employees, positively impacting staff retention as well.

The implementation of KG ZAICO is bolstered by several key features that make it an attractive solution for inventory management:
