Fukuchi-gumi cuts quote handling to about 1 minute with LINE WORKS PaperOn

3 Key Points

  2. Why it matters

    The firm receives quotes from hundreds of partner companies, and some projects involve more than 100 quotes, so this time saving could reduce the long working hours and mental burden caused by manual transcription, according to the company.

WHO IT HITSConstruction company employees who manually transcribe quotes from partner firms into cost-management systems could see their workload drop sharply, if similar results hold at other firms.

Context & Analysis

Fukuchi-gumi, headquartered in Kadena, Okinawa, with offices in Uruma and Naha, handles everything from detached houses and medical facilities to civil engineering, often from design through construction. Its network of several hundred partner companies means a single project can generate more than 100 quotes, with documents from one partner alone sometimes running to dozens of pages. Because each company uses its own format, employees had to manually enter the contents into the firm's cost-management system, a task that contributed to long working hours and psychological strain. To address this, Fukuchi-gumi compared multiple OCR services and first adopted LINE WORKS OCR, then moved to PaperOn, citing its usage-based pricing and document management by project.
