(Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Executive Officer and President: Masakazu Osawa; hereinafter 'MUFG Bank') aimed at resolving management challenges and promoting digital transformation (DX) for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the construction and housing industries. By combining Daitec, which operates 'Chumon Bunjo Cloud DX'—a cloud-based core system serving over 34,000 companies—with MUFG Bank, a leading comprehensive financial group in Japan, the partnership aims to drive further industry-wide development. This collaboration will leverage Daitec's robust platform and each company's respective strengths to create new value. As a specific initiative, the two companies plan to launch service integration with MUFG Bank's invoice purchase service for SMEs, 'BizSaaFin Early Payment,' in the near future. *The number of user companies includes both prime contractors and subcontractors. Companies using multiple tenants are counted individually. ■ Background and Objectives of the Collaboration For SMEs in the construction and housing industries, stabilizing cash flow due to upfront costs such as materials and labor, as well as improving daily operational efficiency, remain chronic challenges. In recent years, labor shortages and rising material costs caused by naphtha shocks have further increased demand for strong back-office support and flexible management assistance to ensure stable site operations. To address these industry-wide challenges, Daitec and MUFG Bank will combine Daitec's system capabilities—driving industry DX through its extensive transaction platform 'Chumon Bunjo Cloud DX'—with MUFG Bank's advanced financial expertise. The initiative aims to provide construction and housing businesses with enhanced financial support options by leveraging transaction data and other digital assets. ■ About 'Chumon Bunjo Cloud DX' 'Chumon Bunjo Cloud DX' is an industry-specific cloud service that enables homebuilders to smartly centralize and manage all core business operations.
