Daiichi Jitsugyo Accelerates DX with 'Contract One' for Centralized Contract Management

## Sansan Announces Daiichi Jitsugyo's Success with Contract One

Sansan Inc., a provider of AX (Agile Transformation) services, has announced a case study highlighting the successful implementation of its transaction management service 'Contract One' by Daiichi Jitsugyo Co., Ltd. (Daiichi Jitsugyo).

Previously, Daiichi Jitsugyo managed original contract documents within individual departments, making it difficult to track terms across different divisions and locations. With the introduction of Contract One, all employees can now access contracts via a centralized database, reducing risks such as missed deadlines and enabling rapid decision-making based on contract terms.

In recognition of these efforts, Daiichi Jitsugyo was honored with the 'Contract One Innovator' award at the Sansan Innovation Award 2026, which celebrates users who drive change and innovation in business and work styles.

### Background of Implementation

As a comprehensive machinery trading company operating across various industries, Daiichi Jitsugyo is promoting DX as part of its 'V2030' growth strategy. The company sought to build a system where contract information is easily accessible and applicable to daily operations.

Under the previous system, contract storage and deadline management were left to individual departments. Organizational changes and personnel rotations often made it difficult to pinpoint the location of specific contracts. This lack of rapid access led to unforeseen expenses due to misunderstood terms and missed opportunities for negotiation based on renewal dates.

Furthermore, while sales activities required proposals based on past transaction histories and similar cases, the decentralized management made gathering necessary information time-consuming. To address these issues and build a unified contract database for risk mitigation and faster decision-making, the company adopted Contract One.

### Operational Results and Outcomes

- **Digitized 4,400 Contracts for Comprehensive Search and Risk Mitigation**
The company digitized approximately 4,400 contracts, enabling linked management of master agreements and related documents. Search time, which previously took half a day, has been reduced to minutes, ensuring accurate understanding of contract conditions.

- **Enhanced Deadline Management to Prevent Renewal Oversights**
By utilizing the alert function, the company established a system where managers can stay on top of upcoming deadlines. This is particularly effective for long-term maintenance and supply contracts, allowing for ample time to negotiate terms and preventing lost opportunities.

- **Accelerated Sales Decisions through Data Utilization**
Contract One allows all past and current contracts to be viewed on the cloud. Sales teams now leverage this data to understand customer history and similar contract terms during negotiations, enabling optimal proposals and swift decision-making on the spot.

### Comment from Daiichi Jitsugyo

'In our daily operations, we need to grasp the contents of signed contracts quickly and accurately,' said Hiroki Yukimura of the Legal Department at Daiichi Jitsugyo. 'Previously, information was scattered, and leveraging the accumulated knowledge of our predecessors was a challenge. Contract One has provided an environment for rapid access and centralized management, improving efficiency and utilization.'

Looking ahead, the company plans to create common guidelines for contract review based on this knowledge and further integrate data with Sansan and CRM systems to enhance business operations.
