A must-see for companies tackling construction DX: Introducing examples of improved efficiency in construction management and enhanced quality control!

There is also the effect of bringing the awareness of the site supervisor and the contractors closer together! The site inspections that used to be once a week have now been reduced to once a month. "Collection of Key Points for Successful Operations - Now Available."

Sakura Corporation is a company engaged in the design and construction of custom homes aimed at creating "homes that bring joy." Before the introduction of the system, there were times when it took three hours to reach the site, leading to delays in site inspections and requiring late-night overtime for preparations. The deciding factor for introducing "Kizuku" was its ease of use as a communication app, allowing for instant information sharing. I felt that it was designed with the "contractors" who use the system in mind, which was also a key point for its adoption. As for the effects and improvements observed, there has been a noticeable increase in productivity. The average number of projects managed by a site supervisor was five per year five years ago, but last year, one person was able to manage 13.7 projects, and currently, some are managing as many as 18 to 20 projects. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

The distance to the site has decreased, boosting morale and increasing efficiency! We are currently promoting the gradual introduction of this to locations nationwide! "Collection of key points for system implementation - now available!"

At Kachitasu Co., Ltd., one sales representative handles everything in a seamless manner, from purchasing to renovating and selling. The purpose of implementing the system was not to manage like in new construction projects, but to resolve communication issues such as lack of contact and consultation, so we focused on discussions during the consideration phase. As a result of the implementation, one notable effect is that "the distance to the site has decreased," which has facilitated greetings and conversation starters even during initial meetings. [Case Overview] ■ Trigger and Deciding Factor for Implementation - The ability to start with just one app promised quick implementation. ■ Innovations in Implementation and Operation - Creating a standard environment. ■ Effects and Improvements After Implementation - The site side has become so accustomed to it that they are requesting, "We want to use it more for communication." *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Successfully achieved rapid adoption in just one month with the introduction of tools while enjoying the process with our partners! "Collection of Key Points for Successful Operations - Available Now"

Takasago Construction Co., Ltd. is a company that provides custom-built homes. In their previous operations, they did not use chat, and the introduction of "Kizuku" has become a great opportunity to digitalize all the exchanges that were previously done on paper. Not only does it allow for the submission of reports and photos, but it also serves as a platform for contractors to showcase their work, contributing to job satisfaction. By being able to see the work of peers in the same industry, it seems to provide mutual stimulation. [Case Overview] ■ Reason for Introduction and Deciding Factor - They felt it was a "communication tool" rather than a "business system." ■ Innovations in Introduction and Operation - They emphasize human relationships and communication, enjoying the use of the introduced tool. ■ Effects and Improvements After Introduction - It has become a great opportunity to digitalize analog exchanges that were done on paper. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

While managing evidence through photo-based real-time interactions, we successfully shortened the site from the 5th to the 4th: "Collection of Key Points for Successful Operations - Now Available."

Ms. Works Co., Ltd. is a company that handles everything from design to construction for exterior work in Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture. There were two major challenges in site management. One was understanding the site conditions and instructions. The site supervisors had a large number of sites to manage within a short construction period, making it difficult to visit all sites regularly. The other challenge was managing construction photos. The responsibility for taking and storing site photos often fell to the individual in charge, leading to concerns about forgetting to keep a record of the photos. As a result of the implementation, all stakeholders began using "Kizuku" for information sharing, allowing everyone to visualize the movements of people, materials, and sites. With the participation of wholesalers and trading companies, there are no longer any missed orders, and the scheduling of arrangements has become more efficient. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

Real-time and quick response! Utilizing the "Important Talk" feature makes all interactions evidence of construction management. "Collection of Key Points for Successful Operation - Now Available."

Carlo Post Co., Ltd. is a design office that conducts inspections and surveys of new and used houses, as well as designing, managing, and constructing new homes and renovation projects. With about three staff members, they handle approximately 130 seismic reinforcement projects daily. Previously, they experienced a constant influx of phone calls for business communications, leading to a "non-stop ringing" situation. Sudden changes in floor plans and reinforcement proposals often resulted in delays in creating drawings, which was a challenge. With the introduction of "Kizuku," they can now keep photos of all the construction sites. Additionally, areas that previously took a long time to address can now be handled in real-time and in a short amount of time while viewing the drawings on a tablet. [Case Overview] ■ Reason for Introduction and Deciding Factor - They wanted a photo management app with a chat feature. ■ Innovations in Implementation and Operation - They proposed switching to smartphones, considering it a zero-start. ■ Effects and Improvements After Implementation - The "Important Talk" feature, which retains history, serves as a good luck charm. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Increased penetration rate through system understanding! Thanks to the utilization and establishment of talks and resources, remote adaptation for employees has also been achieved! "Collection of key points for system implementation - now available."

We would like to introduce a case study on the implementation at Tohshin Corporation. Before the implementation, we felt a loss of time when arranging and requesting construction work, as it required contacting all stakeholders, including employees and craftsmen. After the implementation, the number of phone calls for arranging and requesting construction work, which was originally a challenge, has significantly decreased, allowing us to reduce the time spent on phone communications. Previously, at least three phone calls were necessary for a single request, but now it can be handled in one talk. Additionally, during the operation, we provided individual lectures to our long-time contractors in order. By helping them understand the system, we have achieved an almost 100% penetration rate for talk and drawing sharing. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

We have released a "trial version app (browser version)" that allows you to freely test the "blinking detection technology" developed using joint patent technology with Panasonic, directly in your browser. No application, installation, or membership registration is required. It measures blinking for 30 seconds using your PC's built-in camera or your smartphone's camera, displaying the number of blinks, the rate per minute, the duration of closed eyes (average and longest), and the intervals between blinks in real-time. The camera footage is processed within the browser, and neither the video nor the measurement results are sent externally. Additionally, we have started online sales of the "blinking detection app (Windows version)" that allows unlimited measurements for research and verification purposes. It supports recording and CSV output, with prices set at 33,000 yen for general users and 16,500 yen for academic institutions (tax included, per license, one-time purchase). The camera input version and the file input version are sold separately. For integration into products and services, we also offer the "blinking detection SDK" (with a one-month free trial version available).

We will begin providing a new solution for construction companies, the "Specific Voice Detection Edge AI System," utilizing the development and operational insights from the "Specific Vehicle Detection System" co-developed with Toda Corporation, starting in September 2026. This system applies the technology of the productivity-enhancing AI camera "PROLICA" to pre-learn and analyze specific voice data collected by outdoor microphones, allowing AI to detect target sounds in real-time on-site. By using voice detection, it will be possible to early detect the presence of approaching emergency vehicles even in environments where traditional visual checks or image analysis by AI cameras are difficult due to obstructions like buildings or curves. By linking with various devices and automating the control of construction vehicle departures and alerts to workers, it contributes to improving safety at construction sites and surrounding roads. ■ Main Features of This System 1. High-precision detection using voice AI 2. Safety management independent of visibility 3. Real-time processing with edge AI For more details, please check the linked page.
