Usac System Co., Ltd. (hereinafter Usac System) announces that Kimura Green Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kusatsu City, Shiga Prefecture, President: Shinya Kimura, hereinafter Kimura Green), a wholesaler of horticultural products, has implemented the smartphone app "Pittaly Order," which allows for easy ordering from stores.

Through the implementation of this system, Kimura Green has achieved an 83% reduction in order processing time and has evaluated it as contributing to the alleviation of the burden of night-time operations during peak seasons.

● Background of Case Study Publication

Kimura Green primarily received orders from business partners via FAX. However, confirming order details and inputting them into the system required a significant amount of time, and the workload for order reception staff became a major issue during peak seasons.

Furthermore, FAX orders were prone to errors in handwriting and required confirmation work, necessitating improvements in operational efficiency and preparation for future labor shortages.

To address these challenges, Kimura Green implemented Usac System's smartphone ordering app "Pittaly Order." This initiative promoted the digitalization of order reception operations by establishing an environment where business partners can easily place orders from their smartphones.
