Achieving the registration of employment history for the entire site! A platform for accumulating the careers of skilled workers.

Okumura Corporation is also challenging the practical application of new technologies that are ahead of the times. In recent years, they have been focusing on the utilization and dissemination of the Construction Career Up System (CCUS), aimed at evaluating the skills of workers and improving their treatment. At the company, there were challenges in accumulating work history due to the cumbersome registration procedures, unsuitable environments for equipment installation, and cost issues at "small-scale sites with contract amounts under 30 million yen." Amidst this, they learned about the feature of Career Link that allows for the absence of equipment such as card readers on-site and decided to implement it. In January 2023, with the revision of the management evaluation criteria, the utilization of CCUS was added as a scoring requirement. However, by utilizing "wide-area site registration," Okumura Corporation has created an environment where work history registration can be done not only for the construction projects subject to evaluation but for all subcontracted projects. "I believe that being able to create an environment that quickly accumulates the careers of skilled workers as a general contractor demonstrates Okumura Corporation's attitude towards CCUS." (Representative: Mr. Nakamura) *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*

Improve productivity in CCUS operations for 'safe, secure, and community-oriented city development'! Easy to operate, and awareness of employment history registration is also enhanced.

Fukuchi Construction Co., Ltd. has been contributing to regional infrastructure development in the construction industry since its establishment in 1942. The company continues to challenge itself as a business that can contribute to society in response to frequent natural disasters and the aging of infrastructure. By using card readers for employment history management and switching to unique features of Career Link, such as "phone call registration" for entry and exit and "facial recognition," the company has significantly improved the efficiency of operations related to the Construction Career Up System (CCUS). As an administrator, this not only eliminates the need for daily card reader installation and management but also leads to significant time savings by removing the hassle of setting up construction systems. Additionally, skilled workers have praised the system for being "easier to operate," resulting in a heightened awareness of accumulating employment history compared to before. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*
