primeNumber Supports Toda Construction in Building Company-Wide Data Management Platform

primeNumber Inc. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yuuki Tanabe) announced that it has supported Toda Corporation (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Kiyosuke Otani) in building a company-wide data management platform and promoting data-driven management.

Toda Construction faced a situation where data was siloed and quick decision-making was difficult due to multiple systems operating for different tasks. In response, primeNumber began providing professional services, building a data management platform centered on Snowflake and utilizing cloud ETL "TROCCO" and AI data platform "COMETA," among others. Additionally, through on-site training and support for self-sufficiency, they helped establish data-driven decision-making and internalize data utilization.

**Background of Introduction**

Toda Construction, which handles a wide range of urban infrastructure in Japan, had scattered data across multiple business systems, leading to data silos, and data integration and centralized management had been long-standing challenges.

Despite the architectural business, their main business, requiring sales activities based on staffing conditions, sales data and construction-side staffing data were managed in separate systems, resulting in inconsistent figures. Furthermore, manual processing and aggregation by downloading data from each business system into Excel became routine, creating a "double management" problem where information entered into systems was also entered into Excel for monthly report creation. This led to a decline in data quality and an increased workload for employees.

To solve these challenges, Toda Construction clarified its policy: "In the future, we will establish an environment that can promote data utilization primarily through our in-house system, without over-reliance on external parties," and decided to build a data platform. A project to promote data platform construction, company-wide deployment, and training started with continuous support from primeNumber's professional services.

**Effects of Introduction**

**Integration of scattered data and realization of company-wide cross-sectional analysis**

By utilizing "TROCCO" to build a platform that centrally collects and manages data from multiple internal systems into Snowflake, data scattered across departments such as architecture, civil engineering, sales, and human resources was integrated, creating an environment capable of unified, cross-sectional analysis of various information based on common axes.

**Establishment of a data-driven decision-making system**

By building dashboards utilizing Tableau, the company moved away from manual monthly aggregation. Through automatically updated dashboards from the data management platform, senior management can now directly access data to confirm details. Dashboards have also been incorporated into meeting operations, establishing a culture of data-based decision-making within the company.

**Realization of autonomous operation through data catalog and guideline development**

With the introduction of "COMETA," a data catalog was developed, creating an environment where users can intuitively grasp the location of data. Furthermore, through the operation of the "Data Management Platform Operation Guidelines," a foundation has been formed for each user to autonomously handle data.

**Cultivation of a data utilization culture through training for 60-70 people nationwide**

In cooperation with primeNumber, training was conducted for headquarters planning divisions and branch offices. By focusing on practical exercises using actual business data, the training ultimately evolved into a large-scale event with 60 to 70 participants online from across the country, serving as a catalyst for fostering a data utilization culture within the company.

**Establishment of an organizational structure by newly establishing a "Data Management Division"**

A "Data Management Division" was newly established within the ICT General Department, creating an organizational foundation that continuously supports company-wide data utilization.
