Launch of 'BizRica', an AI Management Support Cloud Co-driven by AI and Consultants

R-Future Inc. (Head Office: 2-2-15 Minamiaoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Shingo Hirota) is pleased to announce the launch of "BizRica," an AI management support cloud that combines AI and human expertise to support the decision-making of business managers and management supporters.

Common Challenges Faced by Many SMEs and Supporters
1. Organizing a wide variety of information is a heavy burden on management: The target information is enormous, and organizing and analyzing it requires a specialized perspective and time, making the current situation analysis itself a heavy burden.
2. Cannot find the true issues: Financial information, business information, and on-site realities are scattered, making it difficult to grasp the overall picture, which tends to lead to dealing with superficial problems and failing to reach the essential issues.
3. Cannot perform continuous PDCA: Even if improvement efforts are started, the time and structure needed for progress checks, reflections, and course corrections are lacking, causing meetings and plans to end as one-off events and not lead to continuous improvement activities.

Service Features
BizRica is a management support service that enhances decision-making through the visualization, analysis, and suggestion of management data under the concept of "Co-Thinking, Co-Driving by AI and Consultants." Rather than just an analysis tool, AI and supporters walk alongside business managers to derive the "next move" for both managers and supporters.

1. Systematization of Expert Knowledge (TAG)
Systematizes expert know-how as tasks and converts it into an executable format by linking with AI. Constructs a system that anyone can utilize with high reproducibility. -> Reduces man-hours to about 1/3 of the conventional amount.

2. Automatic Extraction of Management Issues (RCA)
Integrates interview information, business data, and financial data, and AI automatically analyzes the current situation, extracts problems, clarifies issues, and proposes concrete actions. Greatly streamlines the process from current situation analysis to concrete action proposals.

3. Automation of PDCA (PAM)
Based on budget/actual data and task information, AI automatically executes the monthly PDCA cycle. Presents a concrete action plan for the next month, realizing continuous improvement.

4. Automation of Meetings (SAM)
Automates everything from creating minutes from audio data to extracting actions and linking them to BizRica. Provides a mechanism to change meetings from "recording" to "executing."

Implementation Effects
1. Reduction of man-hours (up to about 1/3): More time can be devoted to decision-making, dialogue, and execution support.
