Background and Objectives of the Business Collaboration

In many companies, order management, inventory management, and invoice management are operated on separate systems, leading to chronic inefficiencies such as manual data entry errors and duplicate input. However, integrating data across multiple systems and streamlining workflows remains a significant challenge.

This integration aims to resolve these issues. In 2025, the company launched a service capable of managing order information in addition to traditional inventory management, enabling centralized control from order to shipment. This integration with "Money Forward Cloud Invoicing" is the next step, connecting order processing to invoice creation through a unified data flow.

With this initiative, we aim to promote integrated operational improvements that seamlessly connect frontline operations—order and inventory management—with back-office functions—billing and accounting.
