F.D.C. Inc. has released a 'Topic Title Setting Feature' for its communication app for construction firms, 'Tsunagaru Iezukuri - plantable -,' designed to improve operational efficiency and the quality of communication with clients.
The feature aims to promote information organization and significantly reduce the administrative burden on staff at custom home construction sites, where multiple topics often proceed in parallel.
■ Background of Development
On-site for custom homes and large-scale renovations, discussions on different topics such as 'exterior work,' 'kitchen equipment,' and 'financial planning' happen simultaneously. Traditional chat formats posed a challenge, as it was time-consuming to find past statements, leading to missed instructions and misunderstandings. This new function provides an environment where site supervisors and sales staff can quickly access necessary information without getting lost in vast logs by structuring conversations for each topic.
■ Update Details
- Optional Title Input per Thread: Titles can be set when creating a topic (thread). Both the construction firm and the client can input them, allowing for mutual information organization.
- Prevention of 'He Said, She Said' Troubles: As conversations are independent for each topic, it becomes easy to review 'what was decided when,' improving accuracy for audit trails.
- Immediate Progress Grasp: The chat list screen allows for an at-a-glance understanding of which stage each project is in (e.g., in discussion, pending confirmation), enhancing management efficiency for design leads.
