Echnos Watanabe Achieves Operational Efficiency Through Data Centralization and Paperless Operations

Uchida Yoko IT Solutions (hereinafter "ITS"), headquartered in Koto-ku, Tokyo, with Yusuke Naito as Representative Director and President, has released a case study of the implementation of its construction industry ERP system "PROCES.S" at Echnos Watanabe Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Fujieda City, Shizuoka Prefecture, with Masayuki Watanabe as Representative Director, hereinafter "Echnos Watanabe"), which handles slope, civil engineering, landscaping, and ground improvement works. Echnos Watanabe had been facing challenges with the time and effort required for printing construction ledgers and processing invoices and payments. As part of its DX promotion, the company reviewed its business systems. By implementing ITS's construction ERP system "PROCES.S," paperless operations have advanced, achieving approximately a 30% reduction in tasks, especially in accounting. Furthermore, data utilization at construction sites has been promoted, leading to company-wide operational improvements. The company has publicly released the background and effects of solving its business challenges as a case study. Details on the background and effects of the implementation are introduced on the following webpage. ▽Case Study Page: https://process.uchida-it.co.jp/solution/case/echnos/ About Echnos Watanabe Co., Ltd.

Company Name: Echnos Watanabe Co., Ltd. Representative Director: Masayuki Watanabe Business Activities: Plumbing and sanitary equipment/air conditioning equipment construction, water and sewage facility construction, environmental protection facility construction, environmental related material sales, etc. Established: 1960 Founded: 1919 Capital: 30 million yen Location: 1-5-10 Midori-cho, Fujieda City, Shizuoka Prefecture Website: https://www.echnos.co.jp/ Background of System Implementation Although the core system used by the company for many years offered high operability, analog operations remained in inter-departmental information sharing, construction ledgers, and invoicing/payment operations, posing challenges to operational efficiency. In response to the trend of DX promotion, the company decided that a new system infrastructure capable of reducing manual work and centralizing data management was necessary and began considering a system refresh. As a result, "PROCES.S," an ERP for the construction industry, was adopted, evaluating its functions that can handle tasks unique to the construction industry and ITS's long-cultivated implementation and operation know-how. Effects after Implementation Paperless operations have progressed, eliminating the burden of printing and visiting the head office. Invoicing and payment operations have been streamlined, and data centralization has reduced errors such as duplicate acquisition of construction numbers. On-site personnel actively utilize PROCES.S construction data, making operations smoother. What is the construction ERP system PROCES.S? PROCES.S is a cloud-compatible ERP system developed by ITS that packages the necessary functions for construction operations. It covers functions such as construction accounting, cost management, payment/invoicing/payment management, JV management, and payroll/labor cost management, and can flexibly integrate with other construction industry systems. Furthermore, it has received the highest award, "Leader," for six consecutive terms in the "ERP Systems for Construction Industry" category at the "ITreview Grid Award 2026 Spring" hosted by IT Cloud Co., Ltd. ▽Product Page: Construction ERP System PROCES.S https://process.uchida-it.co.jp/solution/ ▽ITreview Listing Page: https://www.itreview.jp/categories/erp-forconstruction * "PROCES.S" is a registered trademark of Uchida Yoko IT Solutions Co., Ltd.
