Introducing a case study on the implementation of architectural BIM "Archicad" at Mine Design Co., Ltd. We are currently offering a collection of case studies showcasing numerous examples of architectural BIM implementations!

We would like to introduce a case study on the implementation of architectural BIM "Archicad" at Mine Design Co., Ltd. In a collaborative project with the Architecture Bureau, we received the challenge of quickly creating a 3D model from survey data to effectively communicate the completion image of road improvements to stakeholders, including residents. During the production process, we used BIMx as a viewer for confirming the 3D model, allowing the responsible parties to walk through the 3D space for verification and adjustments. Ultimately, we imported the data from this software into Unreal Engine to achieve a more realistic representation and built a system that incorporated a walkthrough feature. 【Case Overview】 ■Challenge - While production work for 3D models and image perspectives was being done from 2D design data, it was time-consuming and did not reach the point of showing the completion image for specific locations. ■Result - The ability to switch between drone views and walk mode makes it easier to understand. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

"After sending out the email, I just end up staring at the open and click rates..." "Did this email campaign actually have an effect...?" Do you have these kinds of concerns in your daily work? In reality, just because someone has "opened the email or clicked on the URL" doesn't necessarily mean they are "people who want to talk right now." What you really need to know is the customer's "subsequent" actions, specifically "when they visited which of your company's web pages after seeing the email." In this webinar, we will reveal a system that automatically lists the "hot customers" that sales should approach right away by combining email distribution with "web access history"! You might think, "Isn't that something only expensive and complicated tools can do?" However, with the kintone integration tool "Shakiin," everything from scanning business cards to email distribution and visualizing customer web behavior can be consolidated into one solution for just "30,000 yen per month." There’s no longer a need for the extra costs of using multiple tools or the time spent on manual data transfers. We will introduce a new sales style that breaks free from just "sending emails" and efficiently generates business negotiations.

At this conference, 40 companies at the forefront of various fields such as marketing support, tool provision, IS support, and lead acquisition will gather. Examples from one or two companies may not apply to your own situation. That’s why we will present you with "40 different top-tier data points." ◆Recommended for◆ ◇Those seeking "real primary information" that is currently generating leads in the BtoB market, rather than general theories found online. ◇Those who want clear criteria to narrow down the budget and resources for the second half of 2026 to only "truly effective measures." ◇Those who want to organize how to prioritize strategies across various channels such as advertising, SEO, and content. ◇Those who want to update their company’s strategy based on the success stories of other companies. ◇Those who want to bring back a design that connects marketing, IS, and sales to achieve results. We are entering an era where the question is not "what measures to take," but "which success stories to hack for our company." Awaken AI and acquire "truly usable weapons" to materialize your strategy for the second half of the year over these four days.
