Earth Corporation Adopts "HUE" to Optimize Business Processes and Achieve a Sustainable Finance and Accounting Foundation

Works Applications Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Osamu Hata; hereinafter "WAP") announces that Earth Corporation (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Katsunori Kawabata; hereinafter "Earth Corporation") has adopted WAP's cloud ERP "HUE" for large enterprises in its finance, management accounting, and accounts payable/receivable domains. By implementing "HUE," Earth Corporation aims to optimize its business processes, improve operational efficiency, and establish a sustainable accounting operations infrastructure. ## Background of Adoption: Efficiency through Business Process Review Earth Corporation had been considering a system refresh as the maintenance period for its foreign-made ERP was coming to an end. With the previous system, there were areas, including accounts payable/receivable, that could not fully accommodate Japanese business customs, leading to complicated manual processing outside the system. This resulted in challenges such as high workloads and a work environment prone to task dependency. In light of these issues, "HUE" was chosen for its ability to be flexibly configured according to business needs and its capacity to realize business process optimization. ## Expected Effects: Reduction of Workload and Task Dependency By implementing "HUE," Earth Corporation will promote the reduction of off-system processing and the utilization of unified data. This is intended to lessen workloads, reduce task dependency, and strengthen organizational responsiveness. Furthermore, by linking with the already implemented "HUE Asset," the company will create an environment where high-precision data can be grasped in real-time, leading to the leveling of financial closing operations. "The review of our business processes, prompted by this system refresh, is a crucial initiative for our company's further growth. We decided to adopt 'HUE' based on its high evaluation for flexible configuration and operation tailored to our business. Through this implementation, we aim to realize a reduction in our long-standing workload challenges and enhance data utilization, connecting it to sustainable organizational management and the leveling of closing operations." ## About HUE HUE is a domestic ERP developed for large Japanese enterprises.
