Case Study Interview: EPG Co., Ltd. Adopts 'OLGA', Centralizing Contract Management Across 4 Group Companies and Reducing Management Effort to One-Third

GVA TECH Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Shun Yamamoto; hereinafter 'GVA TECH') has published a case study interview featuring EPG Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo), a company primarily engaged in restaurant reservation services, on its adoption of the legal automation platform 'OLGA (Orga)'.

Previously, EPG's legal department managed contracts for each of its four group companies using Excel spreadsheets and shared servers. This manual process led to duplicated and even triplicated data entry across companies, pushing operational efficiency to its limits.

With the introduction of OLGA, cross-group contract management has been unified onto a single platform, drastically reducing redundant data entry and time spent searching for files. The overall effort required for contract management has been reduced to less than one-third of previous levels, based on user experience.

This article details the challenges EPG faced, the implementation process, and the outcomes achieved.

Comment from EPG Representative

As our business continues to grow and become more complex, we cannot simply hire more staff. In the past, we had no choice but to compensate with longer working hours or by upskilling employees.

However, by leveraging AI-powered tools, we can now manage current workloads effectively without over-hiring, maintaining our existing team structure.

Personally, adopting AI has greatly reduced my anxiety about whether our current team size can handle the workload. Instead, I now feel a positive sense that 'we can manage this.' People may leave even after training, and human processing capacity has its limits, but tools deliver consistent performance.

From a cost perspective, the investment required is far less than hiring an additional employee, making it easier to propose to management. While there are concerns about AI 'taking jobs' or unrealistic expectations, in practice, it brings tangible, appropriate changes to daily operations.

Having worked in legal for over 20 years, I honestly never expected legal automation to advance this far. Specialized tools like OLGA will become powerful assets for legal professionals.

About Legal Automation 'OLGA'

'OLGA' is a cloud-based legal tech service that fully automates fragmented legal operations—from request intake to contract management and knowledge utilization.

Through flexible integration with external tools, OLGA consolidates previously scattered information and workflows. It goes beyond simple efficiency gains by enabling teams to focus on high-value, human-driven decision-making.

In actual implementations, one company eliminated over 10,000 annual hours previously spent on Excel-based management and file storage.

Another reduced its annual legal consultations from approximately 2,700 to fewer than 900, achieving significant improvements in productivity and operational efficiency.
