ICT and DX Promotion
Basic Philosophy
The ICT Promotion Division was established in April 2018 with the aim of building a DX-ICT platform to achieve business process reform and business transformation, and has focused its efforts on ICT infrastructure restructuring and productivity reform. Our fundamental mission is to generate new sales and profits in the KONOIKE Group businesses based on this infrastructure by utilizing ICT and digital technologies to promote business transformation (transformation of existing business models), acquire new customers, and deepen business with existing customers. Specifically, on the business side, we are working to transform our global forwarding business into an e-commerce business model and to evolve our logistics business to become an integrated logistics partner with an optimal supply chain. In addition, our Group employees and stakeholders are making extensive use of digital technology to build business processes that enable us to focus on operations with high quality and productivity. While our 2030 Vision focuses on these technologies and maintains high aspirations, the ICT Promotion Division works with the field, the people carrying us to these heights, in order to maintain a firm grasp on issues and potential needs there. It also works to fully understand ICT and DX in each headquarters, with actions in the field and headquarters as the two pillars driving our transformation.

ICT and DX Initiatives
Digitalizing Vehicle Dispatch Operations
Digitalizing and centralizing vehicle dispatch operation management enhances productivity. To date, we have made vehicle dispatch arrangements via email, phone, and fax to each shipping company. However, MOVO Vista by Hacobu, Inc. and our in-house data processing tools enable the smooth digitization and centralization of these arrangements, reducing work time.
Digitalizing Accounting Entry Operations
We enhance productivity using AI-OCR , RPA, and other data integration tools. Previously, we manually entered data into our accounting system. However, we began using AI-OCR to digitize invoices and RPA to automate processing. We also link data to the accounting system, striving to shorten work hours and reduce operational errors.
