Arent Co., Ltd. will hold an online seminar on Thursday, April 23, 2026, with the theme "Process Management Changes with PROCOLLA: The Value of PROCOLLA Seen Through Obayashi Corporation's Implementation Case Study."

In this seminar, we will invite Mr. Yamashita and Mr. Hayakawa from Obayashi Corporation, who are promoting the introduction and utilization of "PROCOLLA," an AI cloud process management system jointly developed by Arent and Obayashi. In a dialogue format, they will delve into the process of considering its introduction and the actual operational status on site.

We will explore why Obayashi Corporation selected PROCOLLA and proceeded with its trial, and how it is being operated on site. Additionally, they will specifically discuss, based on actual initiatives, questions that arise during the consideration of its introduction, such as "Can it really be used effectively on site?" and "What changes will occur with its introduction?"

In the construction industry, challenges include process management becoming dependent on individuals and delays in information sharing. This seminar will, with this background in mind, introduce the discussion points and resolution processes during the consideration of its introduction, as well as its operation on site and the changes after its introduction.

What is PROCOLLA?

"PROCOLLA" is an AI cloud process management system for the construction industry, developed under the supervision of Obayashi Corporation. It aims to support the diverse tasks of site supervisors (QCDSE*), combining Obayashi's extensive practical experience with Arent's technological capabilities to achieve both intuitive operability and advanced AI support functions.


Currently, in addition to Obayashi's sites, it is being introduced at multiple construction companies, and its deployment is accelerating with the aim of becoming a new industry standard as a solution that supports the advanced utilization of data centered on process management.


*QCDSE: An acronym for the five important management items in construction sites (Quality, Cost, Delivery, Safety, Environment).
