Paintnote Launches "Saposuke Aggregation" to Real-time Calculate Sales, Costs, and Gross Profit from Daily Schedules

## Announcement of Saposuke Aggregation

Paintnote Co., Ltd. (HQ: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yuki Fujii), provider of the schedule management cloud "Saposuke" specialized for field work, has announced the results of a survey conducted among management and schedule managers of field-work companies, and the launch of a new feature, "Saposuke Aggregation," on June 4, 2026 (Thursday), which visualizes sales, costs, and gross profit in real-time from daily schedule inputs.

### Survey Results and Challenges

In this survey, 66.8% of schedule managers engaged in field work responded that it takes "more than one week" after the month-end closing to grasp the overall picture of monthly sales and gross profit, or that it is "difficult to grasp accurately." Additionally, about 40% stated that they spend a significant amount of time every month on aggregation tasks such as sales, costs, and utilization.

To solve this industry-wide challenge of requiring excessive time and effort to grasp the figures necessary for management decisions, "Saposuke Aggregation" was developed as a feature that connects schedule management with direct business figures.

### Background of Development

In industries primarily engaged in field work, schedules and sales are closely linked. However, it is common to have decentralized operations where "schedule management, sales management, invoicing, and analysis" are managed separately. Consequently, important information often fails to arrive in time for management decisions. Saposuke Aggregation converts the schedule data input daily into management data, aiming to create an environment where managers can make decisions while looking at "real-time numbers."

### Three Features of "Saposuke Aggregation"

1. Increase Visualization Without Increasing Input Burden
Users can simply add items such as "Sales," "Costs," and "Man-hours" to their schedules. No transcription work is required; daily schedule operations are accumulated as management data.

2. High Customizability
Users can check aggregation results in real-time from perspectives they want to know, such as by project, staff, prime contractor, area, work type, or period.

3. Real-time Management Decisions
As results are reflected simultaneously with schedule registration, managers can make decisions at an earlier stage, such as judging additional orders, reviewing staff allocation, and considering recruitment plans.
