Head office of Wack Data Service

Wack Data Service (Fujimi City, Saitama Prefecture) is introducing RPA (software robot automation) to improve the work efficiency of its employees. The company is in the process of revamping its production management system, and a huge amount of labor is required to link it with existing systems for ordering and purchasing. The company will decide on the software to be used by the end of September, and will then start full-scale operation over the next six months to a year. The initial investment is expected to be in the range of several hundred thousand yen. If we can connect disparate systems with RPA, we can speed up the time it takes to achieve this. By having RPA replace the routine work of employees, the company hopes to "reduce the amount of overtime and work on holidays for employees, which will lead to a change in work styles.
