Fukuyama Transporting Achieves Logistics DX Across 400 Locations with "JUST.DB," Building a 3,000-User Infrastructure with Just 3 Staff
JustSystems Corporation announced that Fukuyama Transporting Co., Ltd. has implemented the no-code business system "JUST.DB" to promote logistics digital transformation (DX) across its 400 nationwide locations. A core IT team of just three members built an information infrastructure for 3,000 employees. The system has drastically reduced operational loss by shortening the forklift boarding approval process from about a week to a single day, while also enabling real-time visualization of sales progress to accelerate decision-making.

JustSystems Corporation (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Kyotaro Sekinada) announced that Fukuyama Transporting Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Fukuyama City, Hiroshima; hereinafter "Fukuyama Transporting") has implemented "JUST.DB," a cloud database that enables the construction of business systems completely without coding.
■ Post-Implementation Results: Real-time information across 400 locations, improving the accuracy and speed of decision-making
Full-scale operations began in April 2025. Through speedy in-house development led by the Information Systems Department, various business operations such as "Boarding Approval," "Sales Project Management," and "Contract Management" have been built and utilized using "JUST.DB."
Eliminating paper to shorten approval time to 1/7, accelerating "immediate readiness" in the field
The company digitized the boarding approval for forklifts, which significantly affects the utilization rate of logistics sites. Previously, the process required paper circulation and seals from the safety management department, taking about a week due to personnel absence. This has been reduced to one day, eliminating operational loss in the field. Furthermore, a "Driver Boarding Petition" app was released for employees who have acquired skills through post-employment training. This streamlined the processing of hundreds of applications per month, minimizing the time lag from skill acquisition to actual operation. Enabling flexible personnel allocation maximizes the mobility of the field.
Eliminating Excel aggregation across 400 locations, moving from weekly to real-time sharing of "next steps"
Previously, managing the progress of sales activities involved manually aggregating and processing Excel files sent to the headquarters from 400 locations nationwide. The workload was heavy, and the current status could only be grasped on a weekly or monthly basis. By consolidating this into "JUST.DB," sales progress is now visualized in real-time, enabling the swift sharing of actionable "next steps." The time freed up from aggregation tasks has allowed new insights to sprout in the field.
Building a 3,000-user information infrastructure with 3 core members, immediately reflecting field needs
A core team of only three members from the Information Systems Department built an information infrastructure for 3,000 employees. With the speed unique to no-code platforms, completing initial prototypes in less than a month, they are continuously rolling out apps tailored to field requests, such as contract management and daily reports.
Emphasizing a "build it first" approach, they addressed field issues by reflecting them into the system on the spot while sharing screens during web conferences. Rather than simply digitizing paper operations, they optimized the formats, achieving an ease of use that requires no explanation to field staff. Seeing effects in a short period eased internal resistance, creating a virtuous cycle where the next requests from the field are generated sequentially.
■ Background of Implementation: Responsibility for social infrastructure and commitment to digitalization
The environment surrounding the logistics industry faces complex and diverse challenges, such as chronic labor shortages and rising prices. Viewing logistics as a "lifeline supporting industry and daily life," Fukuyama Transporting has positioned DX promotion as a top priority in its medium-term management plan to tackle these social issues head-on. "JUST.DB" was selected as a strategic platform to break away from the analog operations relying on paper and Excel deeply rooted in the field, and to realize swift, field-led improvements.
■ Comment from Fukuyama Transporting Co., Ltd. (Excerpt)
"The speed of no-code and the ability to flexibly customize according to field issues have become the catalyst for change. As an IT department that can contribute to sales improvement and cost reduction, we plan to continue expanding the scope of its utilization in the future." (Mr. Ryo Ishikawa, General Manager, Information Systems Department)
[Comparison Table] Before and After Implementation
Comparison Item
Before Implementation (Traditional Analog Operation) / After Implementation (JUST.DB Utilization)
- Company-wide business improvement: Analog operations using paper and Excel remain / Ultra-high-speed development of apps optimized for each task
- Logistics field boarding management: "Blank periods" occur due to waiting for approval / Immediate boarding possible, maximizing mobility
- Boarding approval period: Approx. 7 days (waiting for approval, handwritten) / 1 day (completed same day via digital approval)
- Sales activity progress management: Weekly/Monthly (aggregated in Excel) / Real-time (dashboarded)
Q&A Regarding This Implementation
Q: How does this DX serve as a solution to the labor shortage in the logistics industry?
A: The greatest effect is the "improvement of field mobility." Amidst severe labor shortages, we reduced the loss time for forklift boarding approvals from one week to one day. By eliminating the "blank period" where workers have licenses but cannot board, we have established a system to immediately and effectively utilize our limited personnel.
Q: How were 3 people able to build an information infrastructure for 3,000 users?
A: By adopting the completely no-code "JUST.DB," we were able to entirely eliminate the programming process.
