Photoruction Launches 'Usage Report Feature' to Visualize System Adoption in Photoruction Build

With the mission of 'making the construction world infinitely smarter,' Photoruction Inc. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director & CEO: Takaharu Nakajima; hereinafter 'Photoruction') has begun offering a 'Usage Report Feature' on a web interface to visualize usage status in its construction production support cloud, 'Photoruction Build.' In conjunction with this, the company has expanded the usage report capabilities, including a revamp of aggregation items, active rate trend graphs, data usage trend graphs, and the ability to export usage status by user and by project.

■ Background
In Construction DX, it is crucial not just to introduce a system, but to ensure it is continuously utilized by on-site and administrative departments. However, a common challenge post-implementation is the difficulty in seeing 'which features are used to what extent,' 'which users or sites are struggling with adoption,' and 'what kind of support is needed,' making it hard to tie these insights to usage retention and operational improvement.

Since its founding, Photoruction has continuously held regular meetings with implementation managers based on monthly usage reports to check adoption status and align on operational improvements. This accumulation of hands-on support has led to a sustained usage track record of a 99.5% retention rate and a 0.5% churn rate.

With this release, these usage reports can now be viewed on a web screen, and analysis and export functions have been expanded. Previously, data was extracted by the company and sent via email to designated managers once a month, causing a time lag in checking usage status. The transition to the web allows usage status to be checked exactly when needed, making it easier to reflect data in regular meetings and improvement measures.

■ About the 'Usage Report Feature'
The Usage Report feature is an analytical tool that visualizes how Photoruction is being used, helping to promote its adoption. Users can chronologically track monthly 'active rates' and 'data usage' (such as the number of registered photos, chalkboards, and documents).

Furthermore, the ability to continuously monitor this on a web interface makes it easier to grasp the overall situation and conduct detailed analysis, facilitating daily operational improvements and reviews with implementation managers.

*This feature is provided for companies subscribed to the Premium and Enterprise plans. Access is restricted to organization administrator users.

■ Key Feature Enhancements
- Revamp of aggregation items: Aggregation categories such as the number of documents and tasks have been reviewed, allowing users to understand the situation in finer detail than before.
- Active rate trend graph: It is now possible to specify display periods and switch between indicators, making it easier to analyze usage status while viewing multiple indicators simultaneously.
- Data usage trend graph: By specifying the display period, users can clearly observe the increase and decrease in data usage over time.
- Export usage by user/project: Usage status categorized by individual users or projects can now be exported in Excel format.

■ Future Developments
Photoruction has continuously held regular meetings based on the results of usage reports to verify adoption status and align on operational improvements. Responding to the challenges identified, the company has supported the improvement of utilization rates and the expansion of used features by conducting operational training, proposing operational strategies, and organizing manuals.

Moving forward, Photoruction will further strengthen this hands-on support through the Usage Report feature. By continuously checking usage status based on a common screen and metrics, the company aims to move away from relying on vague tacit knowledge. This will lead to the horizontal rollout of successful operations, the early identification of issues, and the execution of improvement measures, thereby supporting continuous adoption promotion and business improvement.
