Launch of 'Processing Company Navi' Enabling Searches Across Over 30,000 Processing Companies Nationwide

Eigyo Seisakusho Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture; President and CEO: Shu Nishijimamoto) has announced the launch of 'Processing Company Navi,' a website where procurement and design personnel can search for processing companies based on conditions such as processing methods, materials, equipment, and regions.

'Processing Company Navi' is a specialized search site for processing companies, listing information on over 30,000 processing companies nationwide. Orderers can find processing companies that match their needs based on requirements like desired processing content, materials, owned equipment, and region. On the other hand, for processing companies, it goes beyond merely providing listing opportunities. It offers comprehensive support, including organizing their strengths (such as specialty processing, supported materials, equipment, and supported sizes), improving listing pages, creating materials like product examples, technical information, and equipment lists, building paths for material downloads, access analysis, and following up with companies that viewed pages or downloaded materials.

This service launch is an initiative to resolve the structural mismatch in the manufacturing industry—where 'orderers cannot find processing companies' and 'processing companies cannot find projects that leverage their strengths'—through data and mechanisms.

Background of launching 'Processing Company Navi'

At manufacturing sites, personnel in procurement, design, development, and production engineering are constantly looking for processing subcontractors every day.

For example, the needs for finding processing companies are diverse: a design representative wanting to request prototypes, a purchasing representative looking for options other than existing suppliers, or a production engineer wanting to review subcontractors for each process.

However, processing companies are not selling catalog products. The processing methods, materials, sizes, lots, equipment, delivery times, and areas of expertise they can handle differ from company to company, making it difficult for orderers to know 'which company to consult.'

On the other hand, processing companies also face challenges. For a processing company, if a project matches their areas of expertise in terms of material, size, shape, and lot, processing efficiency increases, quality stabilizes, and profitability is more likely to improve.

Despite this, because their strengths and supported scopes are not adequately communicated to orderers, there are many cases where they fail to encounter projects that would be a good fit.

In other words, orderers cannot find them, and processing companies are not being found.

'Processing Company Navi' was created to solve this mismatch.

What is 'Processing Company Navi'?

'Processing Company Navi' is a processing company search site used by procurement and design personnel.

It lists information on over 30,000 processing companies nationwide, allowing orderers to search for processing companies that match their request conditions, such as processing methods, materials, equipment, and regions.

The larger the number of listed companies, the easier it is for orderers to compare and consider multiple processing companies. Processing Company Navi builds a database that is easy for orderers to use as an entry point for finding processing companies, supporting the creation of new touchpoints with processing companies.

Furthermore, for listed companies, it does not just list company information but also provides support to create a state where orderers can easily compare and consider them. By organizing specialty processing, supported materials, owned equipment, supported sizes, product examples, and technical information, it creates listing pages and materials that effectively convey the strengths of the processing companies.

Value provided to orderers

For orderers in the manufacturing industry, finding processing companies is not easy. There are many conditions to check, such as processing methods, materials, owned equipment, supported sizes, regions, lots, and delivery times, and it takes a lot of effort to find and compare candidate companies one by one.

'Processing Company Navi' databases information on over 30,000 processing companies nationwide, providing an environment where orderers can search for processing companies based on conditions like processing methods, materials, equipment, and regions.

As a result, orderers can efficiently find candidate processing companies tailored to needs such as 'wanting to find a company that can handle machining,' 'wanting to compare companies skilled in stainless steel processing,' 'wanting to find a processing company that owns specific equipment,' or 'wanting to find a subcontractor in a neighboring region.'

Processing Company Navi aims to be a search site that is easy for orderers to compare and consider, rather than just a simple list of companies. By expanding the number of listed companies and preparing practical search axes such as processing methods, materials, equipment, and regions, it will build a database that serves as an 'entry point for finding processing companies' for orderers.
