Thank you for your continued support. We have renewed the website of Co Creation Co., Ltd. We would also like to share some new IT initiatives across our group.
We built our new website in-house
For this renewal, we did not outsource any of the work; we created the entire website ourselves. We reorganized its structure to explain our business more clearly, and updated the design so that it is easy to read on smartphones as well. Going forward, we will also take on the creation and updating of the websites of our group companies, Ueda Metal Works Co., Ltd. and Hayahoshi Seiko Co., Ltd.
Our in-house sales management app is now in operation
In addition, we have completed development of the sales management app we have been building in-house, and it is now in active use in day-to-day operations within our group. We plan to introduce the app in more detail in a future news post.
Why we do this in-house
While our business centers on manufacturing, I have a background in IT from earlier in my career. Drawing on that experience, we develop and operate our website and sales management app ourselves. This keeps outsourcing costs down and allows us to quickly reflect feedback from the people who use them every day.
With the sales management app in particular, a major advantage of developing and running it ourselves is that we can keep improving it based on input from the group companies that actually use it. Through these efforts, we aim to strengthen collaboration among our group companies and further energize activities across the entire group.
Looking ahead
Many startups and small and medium-sized businesses still manage their daily orders and sales with spreadsheets. In the future, building on the know-how we gain from operating the sales management app within our group, we hope to offer these businesses a versatile, easy-to-use service, together with our management consulting.
We will continue working to support local businesses through both manufacturing and IT. We look forward to your continued support.
